No-Cook Meals: Hummus to the Rescue
Last week Christine shared on the blog that she likes to use cottage cheese in her meals when she doesn’t feel like cooking. Today I’m going to share with you another idea for turning a snack food into a meal. Hummus is a hit in our house. Hummus is made from garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas. Garbanzo beans are a good source of fiber and protein, two important nutrients to include in meals.
Dinner for Snack Lovers
This month our blogs are all about making a meal out of your favorite snacks. Whether you enjoy cooking or not, sometimes you just do not want to spend time in the kitchen preparing a meal. Turning snacks into dinner allows you to have a tasty and nutritious meal for minimal effort.
A Month of Snacks
We are continuing our theme of snack boards from last month into June as the weather heats up. Sometimes when it is hot outside, the idea of cooking a full meal feels like too much. So this month we are going to share some of our favorite ideas for making snacks into meals with as little cooking as possible.
Making Snack Time Fun!
Over the last few weeks, our team has shared how they incorporate snack boards with their families. At my house, snacks are constantly being grabbed from the fridge and pantry throughout the day. When my first grader walks in the door after school, she is ravenous! Having a snack board ready for her with a mix of her favorite snacks and healthy options helps tide her over until dinner.
What’s in Justine’s Freezer?
Welcome to our final week of sharing what we keep on hand in our freezers. If you were to take a peek into my freezer, you would find a mix of foods you would expect, leftovers, and random surprises.
A Freezer Full of Possibility: Cooking for One Without the Waste
Last week we took a peek into Katy’s freezer and learned how she makes day-to-day meals and snacks easier for her family of four using frozen foods. This week I get to share how I use my freezer as a household of one. In some ways cooking for one is simpler because I have only myself to please and I know what I like. However, cooking for one or two requires some careful planning to minimize waste and make the most of your effort.
