Fast Food

I got a little bit mocked for the topic of yesterday's post. Apparently "living in the moment" seems a little flaky to some people. While I stand behind my recommendation to attempt to live in the now, I also kind of cringe when I hear myself using the phrase "the now." So today I'm back to something a little more concrete.

This website, shortorder.tv, is focused entirely on fast healthy meals for one. It's pretty awesome. The hostess of the show, Aparna, cooks every meal she recommends on video in 3 minutes or less. Sometimes I am pretty sure she's going to make it, but she always does. 3 minutes is less time than it takes to order delivery food sometimes. And everything she cooks is healthy. And often vegetarian, in case you wondered. Needless to say, I can't say the same for "U Like" Chinese food around the corner from my apartment (although I do give them props for a very creative name and delicious fried dumplings).

In addition to fast, easy, and good for you recipes, the website also has articles on healthy eating in you're interested.

Note: this one was also inspired by my big sister who was the person who sent me this site. Two posts in one week, Anna! Strong work.

Another note: there is no way I could cook these meals in 3 minutes because I am a very slow chopper. But even if it takes 6 minutes, that's still really fast. And healthy!
