We are busy people living fast lives, so we lean towards convenience food to satisfy quick hunger and not nutrition.  I have prepared meals for celebrities and busy professionals who wan to eat healthy and have time to spend with their family.

TP:  What are some healthy eating tips for busy professionals?

Chef:  Keep a healthy snack around you like nuts to prevent the urge of eating junk food.  What I do that's helpful to me si to freeze bottles of water and take them with me in a thermal bag that will keep them cool.  So when I'm thirsty I don't reach for a soda; I reach for my ice-cold water.

TP:  What foods can help people on the go to have more energy and stimulate the brain?

Chef:  As a mater of fact the more foods with Vitamin A - like salads- is a natural energy booster.  Eat more raw vegetables to give energy for the brain.

TP:  In today's economy we are experiencing price increases, especially in food and gas.  The same bag of groceries you purchased last year for $100 might now cost you $110.  What are some affordable but heath meals busy entrepreneurs can make for their families?

Chef:  This reminds me of an old saying, "Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance."  And if we will set aside time to buy healthy and prep fresh food items, it will allow us time to put together meals quickly  in less than an hour.  For the most part buy fresh foods and vegetables, then prepare them earlier in the week.  Chef Cassondra offers a variety of cooking tips and meals for you to eat healthy and prepare meals for your family.  You can visit her online at www.chefcassondra.com.
