Nutrition & Wellness for Life | Chapter 17 Make It Quick, Make It Easy

On the contrary, with a little planning and organization preparing home-cooked, healthy menu items can be easy. By preparing items in advance, using time-saving devices and minimally processed foods, and acquiring a collection of simple recipes that you like, you can get a meal on the table in the same time it takes to drive to the fast-food restaurant!

Search the USDA What’s Cooking recipe collection, HNLBI Healthy Eating recipe collection, and ChooseMyPlate recipe collection to begin your own quick and easy recipe collection.
