Winning Back Weeknight Cooking
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 01/12/16 -- (Family Features) Moms pride themselves on serving their families wholesome, homemade meals. But here''s the reality: 60 percent of moms think that coming up with dinner ideas is more difficult than getting their children to go to bed on time. Moreover, 61 percent of moms frequently order takeout or go out to eat because they don''t have the ingredients on-hand to make dinner. It''s time for a new strategy.
When it comes to mealtime, a well-stocked pantry can be the difference between culinary success and a dinner failure. With a pantry full of canned foods, a delicious and nutritious homemade meal is just minutes away.
It''s no secret that canned foods are convenient, but did you know that cans are also one of the best ways to get food from the farm to your family''s table? Canned fruits and vegetables are picked and packed when they''re at their peak of ripeness and nutrition, sealing in their freshness and flavor. Just like home canning, the canning process locks in foods'' natural goodness so it''s at arm''s reach whenever you''re ready to get cooking.
A pantry stocked with canned ingredients is also a source of recipe inspiration. Staples such as canned chicken, corn, green chilies, olives, beans and tomatoes atop lettuce combine to create a wholesome Chicken Burrito Salad the whole family will enjoy. And in less than 30 minutes, a box of fettuccine and a can of spinach transform into a hearty Pasta with Spinach Pesto.
