What I tell them, time after time is that you must eat food that energizes you, fires up your metabolism and feeds your cells and eating packaged and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/search\/?q=processed%20foods\">processed foods<\/a> will not do any of that!<\/p>\n<p>That said, I understand that cooking after an eight or nine hour day isn&#8217;t always an attractive endeavour. My solution: take advantage of leftovers. This strategy works magic for me as I rarely ever spend more than 15 minutes in my kitchen. As much as I love to cook and bake, I much prefer to socialize with my dinner guest or family, rather than be chained to my kitchen counter.<\/p>\n<p>The other night I made brown and wild rice, a dish that takes about 25 minutes and only requires a couple stirs. I served it with  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/search\/?q=fish\">fish<\/a> and a mixed green salad, in other words, an easy, fresh, spring-like dinner. And, as a bonus, I got another meal out of it as the next day I whipped up this little number.
