By now I’m sure you’ve found a few new favorite recipes from the Core Restore patient guide. I’ve personally enjoyed the black bean soup, bean burgers and home-made hummus with vegetables!
Here are some food preparation tips that you may not have put to use yet:
• Do you own a rice cooker? A rice cooker is an inexpensive tool that provides an easy way to help you prepare large quantities of rice, requiring little attention. You can then store the excess rice in the fridge to use later with meals – such as with vegetable stir fry or cooked with herbs and spices (healthy fried rice).
• Have you used a Crock Pot recently? In a similar way, a Crock Pot, or slow cooker, is another reasonably-priced cooking device that can help with meal preparation. Since it has a long cooking time, food can be set to slow-cook before leaving for work, and will be ready when you return. This is especially useful for cooking vegetables (beans, peas, etc), stews, soups, meats, and a variety of other dishes. The best part is that cooking in a single pot reduces clean up time and the low cooking temperature and glazed pot make cleaning it trouble-free. Leftovers can be stored in containers in the fridge and eaten later, eliminating the need to cook several meals a day.
These are simple, but great cooking appliances to help you eat well every day! Make sure to keep these handy and don’t be afraid to mix up your favorite spices and flavors into a new recipe. Try it for yourself, and share your secret recipe with the rest of the group.
Don’t hold out! Let’s all eat healthier together!
