Cooking for one can seem like a lot of work. When hunger strikes, it’s tempting to reach for something easy but unhealthy. Instead, try these quick, nutritious dishes:
--Instead of fast-food or frozen breakfast sandwich, try scrambled eggs or egg substitute and whole wheat toast.
--Instead of donut or pastry, try a whole-grain toaster waffle topped with unsweetened applesauce.
--Instead of frozen pizza, try whole wheat pita bread topped with bottled pizza sauce, prewashed fresh --spinach and a slice of low-fat cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese melts.
--Instead of Chinese takeout, try quick-cooking brown rice topped with sautéed frozen stir-fry vegetables and diced boneless chicken breast (heated on the stove or in the microwave, grated cheese and bottled salsa.
--Instead of ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce, try vanilla yogurt tipped with thawed frozen mango slice and 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce.
