Making Healthy Food Easily, Cheaply and Quickly


I have been busy posting recipe after recipe without putting any implementation steps in how to do it quickly or effectively. I like easy and fast! Get a mandolin first off it will save you a ton of time, just watch the fingers! Secondly, cook and shop in bulk. This saves money and more importantly time.

We like to buy all of the chicken for the week and all of the vegetables for lunches at once. Grill all of the chicken at once and portion it out in lunch containers for the week on Sunday or Monday. We often eat leftovers from the previous dinner for lunch so just filling in the gaps during the week with 2 more chicken breasts usually works. We grill ours with a little salt, pepper and EVOO. Sometimes I throw on some italian seasoning.

We love zucchini and squash and it is real easy to slice it up on the mandolin with half an onion in a little EVOO and saute it. I just throw it on top of the chicken in the lunch containers and I'm all set for the week.

Add a small baggy of pistachios or almonds for a snack and lunch is done for the week. Easy, fast, delicious and super healthy!
