Healthy In A Hurry

It's a challenge! We know we should eat more healthfully, but we get waylaid by the urgencies of work, the demands of everyday life, and the complexity of putting all of our nutritional knowledge together and on the table in a timely manner.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we're serving up some ideas for finding some new, healthier favorites to put in your cooking repertoire. The day starts with a healthier breakfast sandwich, a delicious squash and apple soup for lunch, and seared scallops on a bed of oranges for supper. Plus, we turn "power foods" into powerful snacks. Small changes toward healthier eating will add up!

TAPAS!
