What Does “Cooking Healthy” Mean?

Prepare a Healthy LunchWho do you know who’s NOT busy these days?

One of the first things we sacrifice when life gets too busy is our health.  We push off doctors appointments, we postpone the morning walk, we work late and skip the gym, we stop at Subway on the way home and convince ourselves we’re eating healthy.

Eating a yogurt for lunch at your desk is not healthy.  I actually know people who keep a stash of peanut butter crackers (yup, the packaged kind you get from the wholesale grocery store) in their desk drawer because they usually don’t have time for lunch.

Eating this way will hurt you.  It will sap your energy and rob you of the nutrition your body needs to stay healthy.

Cooking Healthy is about quickly and (almost) effortlessly preparing your own food so that you can …

  • know exactly what you are putting into your body
  • be prepared with something good to eat when you run out of time
  • spend less time in the kitchen
  • have more energy
  • lose weight
  • feel happier about yourself
  • save money on food bills

Cooking healthy is not only about cooking.  By planning ahead, using time-saving techniques, and focusing on preparation, the cooking part becomes nearly effortless.  In some cases there’s no actual cooking involved.

So come on in and look around.  I’m here to help you, so please ask questions.   I hope you’ll also feel free to comment on what you read here.  I’d love to hear your story, your thoughts, and your ideas for how to make things work better for you specifically.

Thanks for coming!
