How To Cut YourCOOKING TIME IN HALFTime is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to cooking at homemdashthere neverseems to be enough of it Here are 6 ways to help you cut corners and shave minutes offyour prep time without sacrificing your healthy eating goals

1 Stock up weekly Plan ahead make a list and buy enough groceries to get youthrough the week Last minute trips to the store creates headachesmdashnot tomention an opportunity to hit the drive through

2 Find related recipes Dishes that feature similar ingredients make planningbuying and prep easier For example you could make a big batch of brown riceto serve with a stir-fry one night and save the extras to use in burritos later inthe week

3Prep ahead Do all of your chopping and measuring when you have time so laterin the week when yoursquore spread thin yoursquoll be able to whip together a meal inminutes

4 Buy some time If therersquos room in your budget consider picking up pre-washedpre-chopped fruits and veggies Or use packaged frozen veggiesmdashtheyrsquorealready the perfect size and cut for most recipes

5 Make your own frozen meals The next time you whip up a tasty meal considerdoubling the recipe Leftovers can be portioned out into individual containersand placed in the freezer for quick weeknight dinners and easy brown-bag

lunches

6 Use the microwave Nuking a potato takes less than half the time of baking itin the ovenmdashjust poke a few holes in it with a fork and cook it on high for about10 minutes You can steam veggies and other dishes in mere minutes in themicrowave too

per pound (Be sure to store

everything in the freezer)

6 Invest in eggs

Packed with proteinmdashone whole

egg contains all of the essential

amino acids Eggs are also

inexpensive compared to other

protein sources and donrsquot have

to be relegated to breakfast

recipes

7 Get a whole chicken

It might seem like less work to

pick up packages of pre-cut

breasts but itrsquos often more cost

effective to get an entire bird

Whole chickens will set you back

around $115 per poundmdasha

fresh produce that will last for

weeks Frozen fruit gives a

vitamin boost to smoothies hot

oatmeal and more while frozenveggies can be tossed into

casseroles soups and stir-frys

5 Skip the fancy steaks

Save the filet mignon and t-bones

for special occasions and opt

for leaner less expensive cuts of

meat and ground beef instead

Flank steak can be dressed upwith spices and roasts make

a nice meal that will provide

plenty of next-day leftovers

Also consider buying beef in

bulk Stock up when meat goes

on sale or go in with friends to

purchase a side of beefmdashyou

Eating healthy on a budget

doesnrsquot mean you have to

give up flavor fun or time Itrsquos

possible to buy fresh foodswithout spending your entire

paycheck or resorting to a slow-

cooker lifestyle With a little

planning and prep you can eat

well and still have time and

money leftover to enjoy life

Keep these 10 tips for healthy

eating on a budget in mind on

your next grocery trip

1 Eat before you shop

mpulse buys can add up to a

busted grocery budget (Those

quick-grab treats donrsquot do

nything good for your waistline

either)

2 Pay attention to specials

Pick up the sales flyer at the front

of the store to find out which

produce is in season and see the

deals of the week Also watch

out for little hangtags in the

isles calling out savings

3 Reach for store brands

For things like milk butter brown

ice cereal frozen veggies andmore in-house brands are just as

asty as the name brandsmdashand

hey can be dollars cheaper

4 Donrsquot pass up ripe produce

Many grocery stores slash prices

on extra ripe fruit and veggies

ldquoItrsquos possible to buy fresh foodswithout spending your entire

paycheck or resorting to aslow-cook lifestyle With a littleplanning and prep you can eat

well and still have time and moneyleftover to enjoy lifeldquo

bargain compared to the

upwards of $6 per pound yoursquoll

hell out for individually cut and

packaged pieces A three-pound

bird takes a little over an hour to

cook but then yoursquove got several

meals worth of foodmdashsaving you

ime later

8 Fill up on frozen goods

Frozen fruits and veggies are

packaged up at their peak

helping to lock in nutrients and

making them just as nutritious as

heir fresh counterparts (Just be

ure to read the labels and skip

nything with added sugar or

odium) Other frosty goodieske wild-caught fish and pasture-

aised beef and bison can also

be great buys Theyrsquore often

dollars less than what yoursquoll find

t the meat counter

9 Visit the bulk aisle

Staples like brown rice and beans

re even less expensive when you

kip all the packaging and scoop

hem out of the bulk binsmdashabout

$60 per pound for brown rice

nd about $150 per pound for

beans Cook up a big pot of each

nd toss them into quick meals

hroughout the week

10 Hit up the farmersrsquo market

Because the middleman (thegrocery store) gets cut out

ocal growers can often offer

better deals for fresh in-season

produce Donrsquot be afraid to buy

lotmdashfresh fruits and veggies

can be cut up and stored in the

reezer for later

1 Stock up weekly Plan ahead make a list and buy enough groceries to get youthrough the week Last minute trips to the store creates headachesmdashnot tomention an opportunity to hit the drive through

2 Find related recipes Dishes that feature similar ingredients make planningbuying and prep easier For example you could make a big batch of brown riceto serve with a stir-fry one night and save the extras to use in burritos later inthe week

3Prep ahead Do all of your chopping and measuring when you have time so laterin the week when yoursquore spread thin yoursquoll be able to whip together a meal inminutes

4 Buy some time If therersquos room in your budget consider picking up pre-washedpre-chopped fruits and veggies Or use packaged frozen veggiesmdashtheyrsquorealready the perfect size and cut for most recipes

5 Make your own frozen meals The next time you whip up a tasty meal considerdoubling the recipe Leftovers can be portioned out into individual containersand placed in the freezer for quick weeknight dinners and easy brown-bag

lunches

6 Use the microwave Nuking a potato takes less than half the time of baking itin the ovenmdashjust poke a few holes in it with a fork and cook it on high for about10 minutes You can steam veggies and other dishes in mere minutes in themicrowave too

breasts but itrsquos often more cost

effective to get an entire bird

Whole chickens will set you back

around $115 per poundmdasha

fresh produce that will last for

weeks Frozen fruit gives a

vitamin boost to smoothies hot

oatmeal and more while frozenveggies can be tossed into

casseroles soups and stir-frys

5 Skip the fancy steaks

Save the filet mignon and t-bones

for special occasions and opt

for leaner less expensive cuts of

meat and ground beef instead

Flank steak can be dressed upwith spices and roasts make

a nice meal that will provide

plenty of next-day leftovers

Also consider buying beef in

planning and prep you can eat

money leftover to enjoy life

Keep these 10 tips for healthy

eating on a budget in mind on

your next grocery trip

of the store to find out which

produce is in season and see the

deals of the week Also watch

out for little hangtags in the

isles calling out savings

3 Reach for store brands

For things like milk butter brown

ldquoItrsquos possible to buy fresh foodswithout spending your entire

paycheck or resorting to aslow-cook lifestyle With a littleplanning and prep you can eat

well and still have time and moneyleftover to enjoy lifeldquo

upwards of $6 per pound yoursquoll

hell out for individually cut and

packaged pieces A three-pound

bird takes a little over an hour to

cook but then yoursquove got several

meals worth of foodmdashsaving you

8 Fill up on frozen goods

Frozen fruits and veggies are

packaged up at their peak

helping to lock in nutrients and

making them just as nutritious as

heir fresh counterparts (Just be

ure to read the labels and skip

nything with added sugar or

odium) Other frosty goodieske wild-caught fish and pasture-

aised beef and bison can also

be great buys Theyrsquore often

dollars less than what yoursquoll find

t the meat counter

9 Visit the bulk aisle

Staples like brown rice and beans

re even less expensive when you

kip all the packaging and scoop

hem out of the bulk binsmdashabout

$60 per pound for brown rice

nd about $150 per pound for

beans Cook up a big pot of each

nd toss them into quick meals

hroughout the week

10 Hit up the farmersrsquo market

Because the middleman (thegrocery store) gets cut out

ocal growers can often offer

better deals for fresh in-season

produce Donrsquot be afraid to buy

lotmdashfresh fruits and veggies

can be cut up and stored in the

reezer for later

ldquoItrsquos possible to buy fresh foodswithout spending your entire

8 Fill up on frozen goods

Frozen fruits and veggies are

packaged up at their peak

helping to lock in nutrients and

making them just as nutritious as

heir fresh counterparts (Just be

nything with added sugar or

odium) Other frosty goodieske wild-caught fish and pasture-

aised beef and bison can also

be great buys Theyrsquore often

dollars less than what yoursquoll find

$60 per pound for brown rice

nd about $150 per pound for

beans Cook up a big pot of each

nd toss them into quick meals

hroughout the week

Because the middleman (thegrocery store) gets cut out

ocal growers can often offer

better deals for fresh in-season

produce Donrsquot be afraid to buy

lotmdashfresh fruits and veggies

can be cut up and stored in the

reezer for later

How To Cut YourCOOKING TIME IN HALFTime is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to cooking at homemdashthere neverseems to be enough of it Here are 6 ways to help you cut corners and shave minutes offyour prep time without sacrificing your healthy eating goals

1 Stock up weekly Plan ahead make a list and buy enough groceries to get youthrough the week Last minute trips to the store creates headachesmdashnot tomention an opportunity to hit the drive through

2 Find related recipes Dishes that feature similar ingredients make planningbuying and prep easier For example you could make a big batch of brown riceto serve with a stir-fry one night and save the extras to use in burritos later inthe week

3Prep ahead Do all of your chopping and measuring when you have time so laterin the week when yoursquore spread thin yoursquoll be able to whip together a meal inminutes

4 Buy some time If therersquos room in your budget consider picking up pre-washedpre-chopped fruits and veggies Or use packaged frozen veggiesmdashtheyrsquorealready the perfect size and cut for most recipes

5 Make your own frozen meals The next time you whip up a tasty meal considerdoubling the recipe Leftovers can be portioned out into individual containersand placed in the freezer for quick weeknight dinners and easy brown-bag

lunches

6 Use the microwave Nuking a potato takes less than half the time of baking itin the ovenmdashjust poke a few holes in it with a fork and cook it on high for about10 minutes You can steam veggies and other dishes in mere minutes in themicrowave too

Packed with proteinmdashone whole

egg contains all of the essential

amino acids Eggs are also

protein sources and donrsquot have

to be relegated to breakfast

breasts but itrsquos often more cost

effective to get an entire bird

Whole chickens will set you back

around $115 per poundmdasha

fresh produce that will last for

weeks Frozen fruit gives a

vitamin boost to smoothies hot

oatmeal and more while frozenveggies can be tossed into

casseroles soups and stir-frys

5 Skip the fancy steaks

Save the filet mignon and t-bones

for special occasions and opt

for leaner less expensive cuts of

meat and ground beef instead

Flank steak can be dressed upwith spices and roasts make

a nice meal that will provide

plenty of next-day leftovers

planning and prep you can eat

money leftover to enjoy life

Keep these 10 tips for healthy

eating on a budget in mind on

your next grocery trip

mpulse buys can add up to a

busted grocery budget (Those

quick-grab treats donrsquot do

of the store to find out which

produce is in season and see the

deals of the week Also watch

out for little hangtags in the

isles calling out savings

3 Reach for store brands

For things like milk butter brown

ice cereal frozen veggies andmore in-house brands are just as

asty as the name brandsmdashand

ldquoItrsquos possible to buy fresh foodswithout spending your entire

paycheck or resorting to aslow-cook lifestyle With a littleplanning and prep you can eat

well and still have time and moneyleftover to enjoy lifeldquo

packaged pieces A three-pound

bird takes a little over an hour to

cook but then yoursquove got several

8 Fill up on frozen goods

Frozen fruits and veggies are

packaged up at their peak

helping to lock in nutrients and

making them just as nutritious as

heir fresh counterparts (Just be

ure to read the labels and skip

nything with added sugar or

odium) Other frosty goodieske wild-caught fish and pasture-

aised beef and bison can also

be great buys Theyrsquore often

dollars less than what yoursquoll find

t the meat counter

9 Visit the bulk aisle

Staples like brown rice and beans

re even less expensive when you

kip all the packaging and scoop

hem out of the bulk binsmdashabout

$60 per pound for brown rice

nd about $150 per pound for

beans Cook up a big pot of each

nd toss them into quick meals

hroughout the week

10 Hit up the farmersrsquo market

Because the middleman (thegrocery store) gets cut out

ocal growers can often offer

better deals for fresh in-season

produce Donrsquot be afraid to buy

lotmdashfresh fruits and veggies

can be cut up and stored in the

reezer for later
