Food on the Run

Quick Meals/Homemade Fast Food

If you have time to go through a drive-thru and order fast food, you can also
balance the time to run into the store and buy food that's ready to plate up
at home. We call this Homemade Fast Food.

Rotisseri Chicken with Salad

• To cut fat grams remove the skin before serving.
• One fully cooked Rotisseri whole chicken from the grocery deli.
• One package pre-washed mixed salad greens.
• One can fruit in light syrup or natural juices.
• Whole grain bread or brown rice, pre-cooked.

*Have the family help out serving the food.

Homemade Pizza

• Whole wheat tortilla
• Low fat mozzarella cheese
• Tomato paste
• Veggies
• Turkey pepperoni

*If you're really short on time, these can be microwaved.

Assemble Pizzas:

• Preheat oven to 350°
• Spray bottom of tortilla with oil. Place on cookie sheet, spray side down.
• Spread tomato paste lightly on tortilla (If you like Italian seasonings use
  some now!)
• Sprinkle with cheese
• Add veggies or pepperoni
• Bake for 10 minutes

Snack tray

This is a great way to use up veggies and a good way to get the family to
eat veggies. If you don't have cut veggies at home, buy pre-cut mixed veggies on your way home.

Veggies

• Pickles/olives/roasted red peppers
• Sliced cheese (white is a better choice, or string cheese)
