Ladies... any suggestions on easy to fix, yet healthy meals?

Question

I am 36 1/2 weeks right now and I am having a really hard time cooking dinner, because it just hurts to stand and walk around the small space that is my kitchen! I am currently eating a microwaved baked potato and my husband is eating pizza rolls! LOL He works all day AND can't cook... especially not healthy foods. Any suggestions? Other than telling me to have someone else do it for me.......

Answer 1

Do you by any chance have a crock pot? If so you can throw the ingredients into it in the morning and have a hot dinner in the evening and then leftovers for another night or two.

If you have a big enough pot you could get away with cooking every 2-3 days. Once the baby comes just keep it up, you'll be glad for the low fuss meals. With the cooler weather its just the perfect time of year. When you're up to it add a salad or fruit for desert.

Hope that helps, and Happy Holidays!!

Answer 2

Pasta is always quick and easy. Make homemade pasta sauce with a can of diced tomatoes, some sautéed onions and whatever meat you feel like. You can just throw it on the stove for 15 minutes and it's done. Or use a slow cooker. You can spend 10 minutes in the morning throwing in a roast or whole chicken, some potatoes and carrots and by dinnertime, all you have to do is slice. Slow cookers are godsends... especially after the baby comes.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

buy the bags of ready to eat salad and the precooked grilled chicken in the deli-meats section and make a grilled chicken salad. add crasins and mandarin orange slices (from a can) and rasberry vinagrette dressing. quick AND healthy.
or, green giant makes single servings of vegetables like corn, broccoli and broccoli and cheese that are microwaveable and there are those "steamers" bags of preseasoned veggies that you microwave in the bag. pair that with a chicken or other meat from your grocery store's deli or maybe some salisberry steaks or roast turkey from the freezer section. microwavable, quick and still pretty healthy.
or you can buy some whole wheat sub rolls, ham and turkey, and two of your favorite kinds of presliced cheeses and some of the lettuce shreds and maybe some spicy or honey mustard and serve sub sandwiches with celery sticks and baby carrots. (ready to eat in the produce department) or a veggie tray from the produce department.
and you can stretch the lunch meat and veggie tray out for another meal if you pick up some presliced apples (or a bag of whole) and some cheese cubes and toothpicks. get a tray from the kitchen, sit on the couch and wrap ham and turkey around cheese cubes and stick a toothpick through it. serve this with the remaining veggies and apples for dessert. very healthy and so easy you don't even have to do it in the kitchen!
hope this helps!
