Cooking dinner is one of the household tasks I dread the most. I’ve had my share of cooking mishaps so I’m always looking for quick, easy solutions to healthy meals. In the past, I’ve shared with you a website called Making Life Better. One of their goals is to help families with meal preparation. The site has recently created recipe demo videos, featuring Jennifer Bushman, the Kitchen Coach. The videos, which are viewable on YouTube, offer recipe demonstrations and cooking tips.
Here are some of the ideas you may find useful for healthy meals that are affordable and easy to prepare:
Upside-Down Chicken Pot Pie. With a few simple ingredients, such as frozen veggies, refrigerated biscuits and Knorr Sides, you’ll have a quick and effortless chicken pot pie.
Pizza Meat Loaf: Prepare a perfectly-seasoned Pizza Meat Loaf in no time with go-to ingredients like Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix and Ragú Pasta Sauce.
Avocado Tuna Melts: Try using Hellmann’s Light Mayonnaise, which has the great taste, but half the calories and fat of Hellmann’s Real mayonnaise. Or, when you’re on-the-run, spread out the sandwich fixins’ so the family can make their own grab ‘n’ go dinner.
Baked Potato Bar (love this idea!): For a quick and fun twist on dinner, create a baked potato bar stocked with savory toppings. Feature spud toppers, such as shredded cheddar cheese and steamed broccoli, for delicious, added flavor. Add Shedd’s Spread Country Crock Calcium plus Vitamin D for added nutritional benefits for growing kids. Don’t waste those leftovers! Use them for wraps the next day.
Bananas Foster Sundae: For a sweet meal ending, prepare a delicious dessert like a Bananas Foster Sundae, made with Breyers All Natural Vanilla ice cream (YUM!).

:::sigh::: I actually like to cook and I will try new things. I hate it that my schedule doesn’t allow me time to do anything during the week except throw a frozen meal in the oven.
