Dinners - is it really that hard to make the time?
Another thing I was contemplating yesterday as I was fixing my lunch for today
I post on a few different boards that talk about lifestyle, parenting and food issues. I can't TELL you how many people I hear say that they have "no time" to prepare meals for their families, so they consciously make processed-food compromises
Now, I'm standing at my stove yesterday cooking my chicken breast thinking about this. Takes 4 minutes on the first side. Flip over, another 4 minutes. It takes 4-5 minutes to microwave a vegetable. Total cooking time - 10 minutes for chicken & hot veggies. You would likely be in a fast food lineup longer, or be reheating some processed crap for longer than that
So - I guess I don't get it? Mind you, I don't have kids, so maybe I'm extraordinarily ignorant here, but you can make a healthy, fresh, WHOLE FOODS meal in 10 minutes. Where is the time issue?
