Cooking Tips: Cook Batches and use Whole Grains
Cook batches:
If you have time over the weekend, make large quantities of your favorite dinners. Set aside enough to serve the next night, and freeze additional batches for days when dinner’s a rush. (Freeze promptly so teenagers don’t polish off the extras…) Lasagna and chili are easy to make and freeze.
Use whole grains:
While brown rice and quinoa are delicious and nutritious in their own right, you can also use them as fillers in soups and stews. A handful of brown rice will stretch a pot of Vegetable Sausage Soup. Adding extra cooking broth and some quinoa to Moroccan Slow-Cooked Lamb Stew will make for a hearty dinner with enough leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. With all these great ingredients who needs a colon cleanse product?
