When the clock strikes noon and no healthy meals are readily available, it's easy to reach for fast food or vending-machine fare or forgo eating altogether. Your goal then becomes to satisfy a growling stomach rather than eat a nutritious meal. The solution? Our simple two-for-one meals - you make an extra portion of one or two ingredients, which you later turn into a fabulous new dish to bring to work the next day. Now when it's time for lunch, you'll have a healthy meal you'll love - and that will fit into your overall balanced healthy diet.
