You know we’re a busy family. Between my son’s sport’s schedule and our work, we have little time left but we make sure, no matter what, we have a healthy meal on the table. So, today I’m sharing my best cooking tips for easy healthy meals.
Cooking Tips For Fast Easy Healthy Meals
Meal Prep
My most important tip is planning and trying new recipes as often as possible. If you’re looking for any cooking tips, recipes, and even guides on what foods you can and can’t eat raw for example, take a look at a website similar to https://www.preparedcooks.com and others found online for information on different foods and cooking ideas.
My son is a super picky eater, so I’m always trying new recipes to get his seal of approval.
I’m always picking up on a low sodium/fat pre-made meal for those days when you’ll come home at 7PM and starving to avoid stocking up calories and fat at the drive thru!
The 70/30 rule
I make sure 70% of my food purchases are vegetables, fruits and avoiding at all cost canned, processed foods.
I shop sometimes at two different places, more than once a week to make sure our produce is fresh and looking amazing on our table.
Our produce is usually what’s in season. For example, here is a list that is always on my counter when looking for vegetables and fruits in season in the fall:
Best Cooking Device
It’s important to have a good stove, countertop ovens (visit Simully for an idea about the best ones in the market), and/or a microwave!.
Fast usually means, having the right cooking device to help you reach your healthy goals without having to wait two hours get your meal ready.
On busy nights, I usually aim for 30min meals!
Awesome, right? Healthy, Delicious & Fast Meals is the way to go!
That’s why I’ve added the Breville Combi Wave 3-in-1 Microwave to my Wishlist! Moreover, I am so excited about a microwave that I have added microwave covers to my Wishlist. I also think that I might need the help of professionals to get the microwave installed. For that, however, I am being suggested to look for firms like PreFix (Prefixinc.com) that can assign me an experienced home manager to install the electrical appliance quickly. Since I do not want to mess up my new beloved microwave, I might consider the option. That said, you might be wondering why I chose the above-mentioned microwave model.
Here’s why:
The combination Microwave that Air Fries and is a convection oven. Now available at Best Buy.
This microwave lets you air fry (crunchy fries, brussel sprouts, chicken wings), bake or roast (whole chickens, lasagna, chocolate brownies) or simply microwave with even heat distribution.
The Combi has a 80% quieter soft close door – so no more microwave slams! It’s also 50% quieter while in operation. Clever touches like child lock & mute buttons mean less beeps/bumps/clangs and more pops, bites and crunches!
Intuititively easy presets at your fingertips: Smart Cook, Smart Reheat & Smart Defrost

Two weeks ago I tried a new sweet potato soup recipe and I know that would have been a lot easier if I had the Breville Combi Wave.
