How to Get a Good Sleep at Eagle Ford
September 8, 2022Staying at Eagle Ford? Keep Healthy & Active
October 7, 2022If you’re staying in a hotel, it can be hard to find healthy meals. However, at Eagle Ford Village, you can be cooking healthy meals in no time! Here are some quick and easy options that will keep you from snacking on junk food or ordering room service.
Cooking Quick and Healthy Meals
Microwave baked potato
- Bake a potato. You can do this in the morning, and it will be ready for your lunch.
- Cut an inch off each end of the potato, then cut it in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch still attached to the skin on each half piece. Replace with salsa or sour cream (or both!) before serving.
- Use a soft-skinned variety like Russet potatoes–they’re less likely to break through when microwaving!
Loaded avocado toast
Loaded avocado toast is a quick, easy and healthy way to start the day. Avocado toast can be made with just two ingredients: bread and avocado. But if you really want to make it special, try adding other toppings like tomatoes or spinach for a burst of color, or even some feta cheese for some saltiness.
The best part about this dish is that it’s simple enough for anyone to make in under 10 minutes while still packing in plenty of flavor—and all those healthy fats! If you’re looking for more ways to enjoy avocados (and don’t mind getting messy), check out these recipes below:
- Guacamole Dip
- Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde
Black bean salsa
Black bean salsa is an easy make-ahead meal that will last a few days in the fridge. It’s also really versatile—the recipe below makes enough salsa to top off two tacos or burritos, but you can scale up or down depending on how many people you’re feeding and how many leftovers you want to have on hand.
- 1 (16-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion (about 1/4 small onion)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 teaspoons lime juice (about 1 large lime)
Pasta salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, peppers and more
This pasta salad recipe is easy to make in advance, but if you’re really pressed for time, prepare the ingredients and toss them together right before serving. You can use any vegetables in place of the ones listed here. For example, use shredded cabbage instead of carrots and cucumbers. Add some tofu for protein or olive oil for extra flavor! And if you don’t have any fresh cilantro on hand, don’t worry—it’s not necessary for this dish.
Pasta salad is easy to customize depending on what ingredients you have on hand or how much time you want to spend preparing it!
