Tips on how to prepare a quick & healthy meal!

            So last weekend I had talked about meal prepping for the first time. While I found that it did help me eat healthier, I unfortunately pre-packed really boring meals. And since I am surrounded by greasy buffalo wings and desserts on Super Bowl night, I am delaying my meal-prepping endeavor until next weekend. But I do have some tips to quickly prepare healthy meals for this coming week. One quick and easy method for cooking meats and produce is a Ziploc steam bag. These are so convenient and really work! All you need is a microwave. You can even cook frozen foods in these bags in no time at all.  Frozen salmon actually comes out delicious in a steam bag. Just place the frozen filet right out of the packaging in the steam bag and add a seasoning of your choice. My favorite is orange pepper for salmon. The citrus flavor mixed with a little bit of heat from the pepper really enhances the salmon’s natural flavors After adding seasoning, you want to shake the bag so the filet is covered with the spices. Then all you do is just pop it in the microwave and set it for 7 minutes, then, viola! You have a fully cooked salmon filet in just under 10 minutes. You can also add frozen veggies inside the bag with the salmon and steam them together. It’s a quick and healthy dish to make while you have a limited amount of time to grab a bite to eat in between classes or work. Another cool tip that I recently discovered is steaming a corn on the cob in its husk. All you do is place the corn in the microwave for five minutes. After it is done steaming, you want to cut the stem end of the corn off and squeeze it out of its husk. It’s as simple as that! Just add seasoning, or eat it with the natural flavor of the husk. It comes out really juicy and perfectly cooked. These are just some quick little food tips that will help you eat healthy when you don’t have that much time to spend in the kitchen.
