Free Diet Tips

Here is how to avoid unhealthy supermarket brought frozen meals! Cooking can seem like such a tedious job when you are only cooking for yourself. But, with a little planning and some time saver tips, you can eat healthy, versatile meals that will not make you feel like your eating the same ol’ over and over again!

Any meal that you would cook for a crowd can be adapted for the single person, just take a recepie that serves four people and quarter the ingredients right? However I’ve got a better idea. Why not cook the recipe for four, eat one serving that day and then freeze the rest in individual serving so that you can have it whenever you want.

If you this remember to allow them to cool before separating them out into individual serving containers. Store them, label them and dated before popping them the freezer and make sure that you rotate them with and other prepared meals so that nothing goes to waste.

When you’re ready to have a meal take it out to defrost for a few hours and then you’ll be moments away from a delicious, healthy, homemade meal. Pop your meal into the microwave for a few minutes and then tuck in.

Meal for one one: Orange glazed chicken

Take one skinless, boneless chicken breast and lay it in a cooking dish. Drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil and spike the meat with a few cloves of garlic. Bake until it is cooked thoroughly. During the final five or six minutes juice a medium size orange into a sauce pan.

Over low to medium heat cook the juice until it nearly boils. Whisk in a tablespoon or so of a really good white wine and then cook until it reduces by half. This concentrates the flavors so make sure that the wine is a good one. If you do not cook with alcohol for whatever reason, you can substitute the same amount of water.

Pull the chicken out of the oven, and remove it to the plate, but do not slice it yet. Give it a few moments to rest which will allow the juices to flow back throughout. Pour the warm glaze over the top, add a nice green salad, filled with veges of your choice, drizzled with some extra virgin olive oil and light seasoning and you have a fabulous meal.

A good healthy dessert idea
Making it easy on yourself is what it’s all about right? So, why not just get a nice all natural ingredients fruit yoghurt. Or, slice up some strawberries, chuck them in a small bowl and add some delicious warm custard, then grate some dark chocolate over the top. Never cut out things that you love out of your diet, unless it processed junk of course and most boxed, canned or bagged foods are junk these days. Read the ingredients of foods before you buy them. My rule of thumb is that if you can’t pronounce it then it’s probably no good for you.
