Cooked chicken sausage is great for grilling kabobs since mushrooms, tomatoes, and zucchini cook quickly.
They're hearty, comforting and so easy to doctor up with wholesome ingredients like sauteed veggies and pesto sauce or diced tomatoes with fresh herbs.
For a quick, filling meal, scramble cheesy eggs with bell peppers and green onions and load a whole grain pita or tortilla with salsa and avocado.
Combine lightly mashed black beans with salsa and top with cheese for a faster-than-fast taco.
Use a healthy side dish mix as a base for an easy entree. Make the mix and stir in leftover meat and veggies.
Keeping a container of ready-to-eat fresh veggies on hand means there's no excuse for skipping a veggie side, even when time is tight.
Whole wheat tortillas are great for breakfast-for-dinner burritos, hummus and vegetable wraps, refried bean tacos, turkey club roll-ups, and more.
Whether it's store-bought or a homemade version kept in your freezer, it's an essential base for super-fast soup recipes.
