A whole foods diet is the healthiest way to eat. However, we are not perfect people and most people don’t eat a “perfect diet.” The goal with these recipes is to give you healthy options that are fast and easy to prepare so you are less likely to eat highly processed foods or fast foods when you’re hungry and in a hurry.

Many of these recipes can be prepared in advance and stored in your refrigerator for several days. You will also notice some comments in these recipes on options for certain ingredients. The key is reading the labels on these products and making better choices to suit your needs and goals.
