CHARLOTTE /UCWE/ - The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook, 150 Delicious Recipes for Simple, Everyday Meals in 45 Minutes or Less, proves there is still time to eat healthy, even when there is little time to cook.

Putting a healthy home-cooked meal on the table every day in these busy times is the elusive goal for millions of today’s food-conscious households. But for too long, such vital ingredients as easy, fast, healthy, and delicious have refused to blend together, forcing families on-the-go to sacrifice health for speed, or taste for health, or, even worse, home-cooked meals for take-out. But these central ingredients to a pleasurable, simple, and fit diet and lifestyle don’t need to be mutually exclusive.
