A Taxing Time of Year

April 15, 2008

It’s tax day, a time of great stress for many of us. Stressful situations can lead to unhealthy eating.

Easy meal planning can make any day, even tax day, a stress-free day.

• Make a double or triple batch when you have time to cook.
• Buy prepared foods like pre-cut stir-fry vegetables, grated cheese, skinless chicken strips or pre-washed salad greens or spinach.
• Stock up on quick-to-fix foods like pasta, rice, frozen and canned vegetables, canned fruits and lean deli meats and cheeses.
• Cook on weekends to save food prep time during the week.
• Freeze leftovers in individual meal containers for quick thawing.
