Adding a salad, vegetable and some rice to the meal should not take any longer that 20 to 30 minutes. Or make a meal with extra portions one night during the week that can be re-heated for the next night's dinner. When cooking, baking or broiling are healthier than frying. Frying not only adds oil, but it also adds time. Instead of standing over a frying pan, put your meat, chicken or fish in the oven.
Pressure cookers are time savers too.
They prepare your meals in a fraction of the time, again providing a well-balanced meal without much effort. Keep fresh fruit in the house, not only for a nutritious snack, but also to be cut up for a quick dessert. Wrap them up and put them in a bag with some fresh fruit and raw vegetables. On your way to the event, you can stop home and retrieve your ready-made dinner out of the refrigerator. It is quick and more nutritious that a fast food meal.
