Weeknight Dinner Hacks for Meals in a Hurry
Managing to cook healthy meals in a short amount of time on a weeknight is a struggle we all encounter. When you’re tired and hungry, it’s tempting to pick up the phone and order... take out — even more so if you’re going through the fatigue of cancer treatment. To get the best cancer-fighting nutrients without the side of fat, salt, and sugar that comes with restaurant fare, it’s best to cook at home. These easy weeknight meal ideas give you dishes that can be thrown together in the time it takes for the delivery guy to ring your bell. Pizzas can be quickly made on pita bread, and veggie-rich pasta dishes or frittatas can be speedily thrown together. Consider doubling the amount of food you make and freeze half. The next time a crazy weeknight or fatigue shows up, all you have to do is defrost, heat, and eat.
