It's easy to skip cooking at home when you face long work days, aggravating commutes, day-care drops, and errands. Unfortunately, you're likely to be consuming more calories from carbohydrates, sugar, frozen meals, and instant foods when you're on the go. To get healthier, gain less weight, and reduce the hassle of cooking at home, think pasta, casseroles, stews, curries, soup, risottos, stir-fries, and salads. With planning, you can easily stock up for two weeks with fresh, frozen, canned, and dried goods to cook fast and fresh meals. Research shows those who cook at home also eat less when they do eat out. There are many cookbooks that can be purchased on-line that provide quick, easy and healthy recipes.
