During the holidays I think we are all struggling to get healthy meals on the table as we run from errand to errand and holiday pageant, to holiday music production, etc…I know I am. Â An easy solution is to buy some pre-made meal items and “healthy” them up a bit.
A tried and true brand is Amy’s Kitchen. Â There are so many of their products that I really like (Their black bean enchiladas are awesome). Â My meat-loving boys also love their Vegan Chili, which is saying a lot.
The other day I made a pot of Amy’s vegan chili in 5 minutes flat and embellished it in an attempt to bring the total sodium level down. Â I warmed all of the following in a pot and that served as dinner:
- 2 cans Amy’s Vegan Chili
- 1 can (14.5 oz.) Miur Glenn Diced Tomatoes (no salt added)
- 1 can sodium-free kidney beans
I served the chili with a choice of either tortilla chips or sliced bell peppers (my choice) and Tapatio sauce on the side. Â The chili pictured above was also served atop polenta.
What are your favorite FAST meals this time of year? Â Any tricks to share?
