Dear Reader,

I'm the mom of three little boys, and on many evenings it's a challenge to get a delicious, healthy meal on the table. I remember sitting on the couch with my baby on my lap one afternoon, staring blankly into space as I wondered what on earth I could feed everyone this time.

"I wouldn't mind making it," I realized, "if someone would just tell me what to cook!"

When I talked to other moms of young children, I realized that this was a common theme: the hardest part of making dinner is not the making, but the deciding.

And so the idea for healthy-quick-meals.com was born.

Like you, I want to feed my family healthy meals.

I want to make the most of my food dollar.

I like to eat out or order in occasionally, but I want to do it when I choose to - not when I just can’t think of another option.

I want to spend my time and my energy enjoying my children, not working in the kitchen. I definitely don't want to waste any time wondering what to cook.

And so...I've assembled a collection of easy recipes for quick meals that take the guesswork out of dinnertime.

Here's what you'll find at healthy-quick-meals.com:

Quick meals that are easy to make. They don't take fancy equipment or special skills.

Meals that are quick to prepare. I can make every main dish in 17 minutes or less (not including cooking time).

Quick meals that are delicious. Each recipe passed the Gray family taste test.

Quick meals that are healthy. While I'm not a nutritionist, I follow my mom's rule for healthy meals: serve a variety of foods from all the food groups, using whole foods whenever possible.

Enjoy these easy recipes! Use them, modify them, and make them your own! Then get out of the kitchen and have fun with your family!

Sincerely,

Ellen Gray
