Whether you love cooking or dread walking into the kitchen at mealtime, the free Food Personality Quiz on MealsMatter.org can help you better understand your food and cooking style while providing strategies to help you prepare healthy meals.
For example, some people prefer easy-to-prepare recipes that take very little time to cook. These recipes require minimal chopping or cutting and may use canned sauces and beans, bagged greens or even pre-cut vegetables to save time and make meal preparation simple. If you find yourself short on time, but healthy meals and fresh ingredients are important to you, Meals in a Flash! is probably your food personality.
This week’s recipes feature convenient, time-saving ingredients that can be prepared quickly without sacrificing nutrition or taste, perfect for the Meals in a Flash! cooks. Start with a family meal of Smoky Corn and Black Bean Pizza, Mango Salad and Honey Baked Bananas and try other Meals in a Flash! Recipes this week include Strawberry Mango Smoothies, Creamy Ranch Pork Chops and Rice, Baja Bean Salad and Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Bell Pepper Sandwiches.
Be sure to add these and other recipes to your family meal plan and shopping list.
