Is there a fast way to prepare healthy meals for my family?

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, February 07, 2012
Answered by: Heather Hawk

Of course! I’m a self-proclaimed fan of the 30-minute meal. At this point in my life, I simply don’t want to spend more than 30 minutes making dinner – I’d rather be playing with my little girls. I’ve probably bought every cookbook claiming to have “fast” recipes. I particularly love cooking in the Fall and Winter as its the perfect weather for Crockpot meals.

The cooler temperatures lend themselves to soups, stews, casseroles, and warm dishes. I have a wonderful cookbook filled with low-fat, healthy Crockpot meals. Not only can I continue to serve healthy options for my family but I can make them in advance, let them cook all day, and come home to dinner that is ready to go – so simple! Plus, most Crockpot meals can feed my family for two nights!
