[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with the posts who say plan ahead and freeze. I admit I don't have the hectic schedule you have, but I am always scrounging around at the last minute trying to prepare quick and healthy meals for a family of 3.

The freezer and freezer bags are your friends. When you make rice, make 4 or 6 times what you normally need, then freeze in single serving bags. When you are ready to eat, remove the block of rice from the bag, pop into a microwave safe bowl with a cover and you have rice in 2 minutes!

Buy seasoned beans in a can and heat and you';ve got dinner, or you can be ambitious and prepare 2 pounds of seasoned beans or make a ton of chili or a big batch of spaghetti sauce and again freeze in single serving bags (lay the bags flat on top of each other in the freezer and you'll be able to fit a lot in that little space) Heat the same way you would the rice.

Cut up any type of meat in dinner sized portions...chicken, beef pork and freeze in prebought marinade or make your own. When you defrost, it will marinate in the fridge and be ready to pop in the oven for dinner.

With just a little bit of planning and not too much extra time, you can do this. The possibilities are endless and you will eat better.[/quote]
