The Reality Of Healthy 30 Minute Meals

By Toni Vang


With the busy lives everyone has these days it sounds exciting to be able to quickly prepare a meal for the family. Unfortunately, this is not as realistic as it may sound. Folks cannot just get home from work and throw together healthy 30 minute meals without some preparation ahead of time. This is an awesome concept however real life does not always cooperate.

In order for you to arrive home from work each day and have a meal on the table in thirty minutes you will have to do the prep work ahead of time. This prep can be done on the weekend and everything can be stored in the refrigerator for when the ingredient will be needed. This sounds so simple but in reality it is not always possible if you have a real life.

The reality is, that it might take forty or more minutes to get dinner served. When you have prepared certain dishes several times it is possible to get them done faster. If this does not work, you will need to prepare in advance to get dinner served faster. An alternative is also to select a different recipe that takes less time.

There are a number of things people do to put together a nutritious meal in less than forty minutes. Many families have schedules that necessitate they get dinner served quickly every single night. If this is how things are in your life, there are several tips to help mealtime less hectic.

For example, spend time on Saturday and Sunday chopping, blanching, or roasting vegetables. Make sauces that your weekday recipes call for. If you plan your meals for the week you will know what ingredients you are going to need. Many recipes take more time to prepare the ingredients than the actual time it takes to cook them.

Also, make sure you plan some meals using leftover. For example, you can use leftovers from Monday to make a dinner for Wednesday. You can either serve the dinner as you did on Monday, or make another meal using the leftovers. If you served chicken and vegetables you can use the leftovers to make a skillet meal. In addition, soups and stews can be made using the remains of a meal.

It is also a good idea to invest in a crock pot or pressure cooker. Both appliances will help you get food served in record time. Prepare crock pot meals ahead of time and store in freezer bags. You can make several at a time. As you leave the house place the ingredients of a bag in your crock pot, set it, and go. When you get home at the end of the day dinner is ready to serve. A pressure cooker will prepare meat so fast that you will be amazed.

Give yourself a break now and then and get takeout for dinner. You can also buy prepared meals at your favorite grocery. In addition, eating out once in a while is great if you can fit it into your budget.
