Planning healthy family meals can be easier when you know your food personality. Whether you love cooking from scratch or prefer to throw together ingredients at a moment’s notice, the free Food Personality Quiz on MealsMatter.org can help you prepare healthy meals with tailored recipe recommendations.
The “Meals in a Flash” food personality and related recipe recommendations are perfect for pulling together balanced family meals on busy weeknights without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. These recipes utilize “short-cut” ingredients like bagged salad, canned beans and precut vegetables to save you time.
For a family meal in a flash, start with Smoky Corn and Black Bean Pizza, Mango Salad and Honey Baked Bananas. For other fast family meals throughout the week, mix and match Strawberry Mango Smoothies, Creamy Ranch Pork Chops and Rice, Baja Bean Salad and Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Bell Pepper Sandwiches.
Visit Facebook to take the Eat Better, Eat Together family meal pledge and follow the Twitter hashtag #EatBetter2Gether for family meal updates. Then register at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to your personalized family meal plan and shopping list.
