Happy Wednesday Everyone! Things have really been picking up here at Tastebuds! With business picking up and everyone being so busy, I realized that sometimes it can be hard to get a decent meal in. I know this can be the case for a lot of people, not just us. Everyone always seems to be on the go: taking kids to sports or activities, going to the gym, staying late at work because there is a ton to do, there always seems to be something. During these extremely busy times, preparing a meal, whether it is for one or an entire family, does not always seem like the best option.
Why take more time out of your hectic day to prepare, cook, THEN clean up when it is so much easier to just order out or throw pre-made meal in the over? I'll tell you what I think...Yes, it is easier to have someone else cook the food and you just pick it up and bring it home. But fueling your body is important, especially when you are constantly on the go. Your body needs that good, healthy foods to it keep energized so you do not crash. So, why not fuel your body (and your family's or whoever) with a meal that you know is good for you? Restaurants do offer healthy choices, yes, but nothing beats a home cooked meal. You know what you are putting into it, therefore, healthier choices can be made.
Between google and pinterest alone, there are an uncountable amount of healthy recipe ideas out there. Not only that, but you can even narrow it down to anything you like. For example, since I have been so busy lately, I went to pinterest and typed in simple, quick meals. There was so many enticing recipes, I did not know where to start. But with time being very pressing lately, at least for me, quick choices need to be made. When it comes to eating, I try to make better choices, this way I am always feeling good and energized.
Here is a simple recipe that everyone would enjoy. (There are also some other great recipes on this site for a quick meal fix. The link is at the bottom of the post.)
