Healthy Fast Food


Admittedly, I am not much of a cook. I have not really had a reason to be. I only recently married. Now I have someone to share meals with. Years prior in my twenties and thirties I simply worked a lot which left little time for dabbling in the culinary arts. Ironically, I experienced my first health transformation in my early twenties without having ever cooked much. I baked, but mostly to satisfy sugary cravings with a semi healthy alternative that was allergen free. I say semi-healthy, because sugar can be a serious detriment to your health. My approach to sugar is use sparingly. I would say the same for healthy fast food. It is not necessarily a food to feed off regularly but it can be the best healthy alternative for those in a rush. I lived off it for years and am still known to pop it in my lunch box. Let’s face it, there is nothing better than a home made meal, but grabbing a can of soup from the cupboard or enchilada from the freezer is a whole lot faster than making a bean salad. And, at $2.00-$8.00 a meal it often times is less expensive as well as healthier than buying at the local restaurant for those working away from home and won’t throw off the budget for busy families who need an occasional break from cooking.

My favorite two product lines are Muir Glen and Amy’s Kitchen. Muir Glen makes the heartiest organic soup ever tasted and Amy’s Kitchen offers a variety of tasty organic and allergen free food products from soups and rice dishes to pizzas and pies that will satisfy the taste buds of most finicky eaters at any meal of the day. Try them if you have not already and enjoy on your road to good health!
