Feeding Your Family the Quick Fix Way
By Donna Smith
|
Miller feels many parents resort to fast foods rather than cooking a healthy meal at home because they think it will take too long to get dinner on the table. "That's why I recommend starting with my Dinner Express chapter," she says. "People will soon realize that it's not hard or time consuming when done the Quick Fix way!"
Want to cut costs on feeding the family? Miller says the Morph It strategy is the best way to save money. "By stretching ingredients (such as chicken, pork or salmon) or a sauce (such as tomato or peanut), you can also stretch your dollar by getting more 'bang for your buck!'" she says. "Plus, the flavors vary so much in my morphing recipes, and each meal is so unique, you'll never feel like you're just eating leftovers."
Inthe Bag cooking can be a lifesaver for busy parents. "In the Bag cooking is making meal kits in advance so you simply reheat and serve on crazy weeknights," Miller says. "Busy parents can rest assured knowing that a healthy meal is just moments away (especially important when the soccer game or swim meat runs long!). It's a simple strategy for prepping ahead and saving the final assembly until right before dinner."
