Curtis Stone's Fast Meal Ideas for Busy Moms

&Quot;It’s really tricky. If you’re a working mom, you really have limited time. The way to get organized is to do some planning, which is ideally done on the weekend so you can think about what you’re going to serve for the week. I always think if you have to cook once, it should feed you twice. If you’re going to make a big chicken and vegetable soup for lunch on Monday, you stick it in the refrigerator and it’s also for Wednesday’s dinner. Or if you’re going to make a spaghetti Bolognese sauce, that’s a great way to get as many vegetables in it as you’d like. You’re still doing a sauce that people will love, but you can incorporate a lot of nutrients into it. I think the key to it is to work in batches. You might do spaghetti Bolognese and freeze it and then make a baked ziti style pasta dish where you can use the sauce again. If you can afford to devote a couple hours out of the week and get yourself organized, pulling dinners together is nice and simple. Organizational planning is key." "For me, food is all about balance. If you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and an appropriate amount of poultry, fish, and red meat that are sourced from good places, you're doing well. It's important to make sure that the meat you're consuming is hormone-free. If you eat what Mother Nature gives us and what comes out of the ground, than you’re at a pretty good place to start. It would be great if we could all have our own vegetable gardens, but it’s unrealistic, which is why I think you’ve got to set yourself up to be as healthy as you can. The thing we tend to do is when it gets to be a bit too hard, we actually opt out for the absolute worst option. For example, if you’re in a rush in a morning and you feel like you don’t have time to make breakfast, you skip it. That’s the worst thing you can do. It can be really simple. Just leave a bowl of fruit near the door, so if you’re running out last-minute you can grab a banana. When you talk about breakfast cereals, you want to look for whole grains because the less processed the more nutrients are in the food." "Since I’m a surfer and grew up around the ocean, I suppose I love beautiful fresh seafood. I like fishing.
