In creating each month's Cook It Quick Newsletter, I offer recipes and tips you can use in your daily cooking.
They have to be fast, use a few ingredients (preferably no more than 5) and you should already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. And, I give substitutions for less common ingredients and avoid or help you use extra ingredients.
Above all, the recipes should offer delicious helpings of healthy foods!
P.S. Ingredient counts don't include water, salt, pepper and cooking oil.
Cook It Quick's Goal
Our goal is to make you "hungry for healthy food" by offering tips and delicious, quick-to-prepare, inexpensive recipes.
Preparing these recipes and using the tips will help you increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. At the same time, you will reduce sodium, solid fats, and calories. Food safety tips are included.
