Guest guest Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks, Margie. Just what I needed.....some motivation in fixing my diet. lol I have no diet, and, housebound, I only get to store once a month, so, I am usually feast or famine. lol From: Margaret Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 10:00 PM To: CFAlliance Subject: Eating healthy tips As all of you know, eating healthy when you have chronic health issues isn't easy. Getting out to the grocery frequently enough to eat lots of fresh vegetables is very difficult as is simply fixing food and cleaning it up. I thought I would share some of the things that I have found helpful and am hoping that others will chime in with more ideas. 1. We buy 2 or 3 large packages of chicken breasts and my husband or one of my sons cuts it up into chunks for me. I then marinade it in several containers with different marinades for a day. Then I cook it all in a skillet one type at a time and stick it all back in the fridge for a day. Finally I split it all up into freezer bags in portions that work for my husband and me for dinner and freeze it. We also buy bags of mixed vegetables that cost about $2-$3 and which now come in a whole lot of varieties. With this setup, I can fix a healthy dinner of chicken and veggies is less than 10 minutes and with very little to cleanup. The fact that it is done over several days makes it possible (although not easy!) and I can get at least a months worth of chicken from one of these chicken cooking sprees.
