A busy schedule can create chaos around meal times, often leading to an unhealthy fast food option. This fall, enjoy the beauty of the kitchen in your home. These simple tips from Martha Stewart Living will keep the entire family satisfied, healthy, and ready for the next big project at work or school.

The biggest step in preparing quick simple meals is to have a well stocked pantry. Being able to season the beef, chicken, or various meat substitutes enhances the meal and allows for a wide variety of options for the palate. Keeping garlic, dill, mustard, and cumin to name just few can add pizazz to dinner time. Fresh oils to cook with add flavor, healthy fats, and keep calories low. A few other suggestions include citrus, walnuts, blueberries and frozen spinach.

These suggestions are sure to make meal time simple and tasty. For recipe ideas visit  Martha Stewart’s website and enjoy the kitchen this fall.
