Good Food Fast…not Fast Food!

Prepared Foods

The weeks in between holidays can become very hectic. It often feels like there is never enough time to get a quality meal on the table without taking unhealthy shortcuts. Cut down prep time by purchasing pre-cut or prepared items from the produce department.

Or, choose prep it and forget it meals that use a slow cooker, pressure cooker, or sheet pan to minimize hands-on time. It’s easier than you think to get dinner on the table during busy weeknights! Plus, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Check the fresh veggies and frozen sides with minimal ingredients that are on sale each week.
