Solving the dinner problem

So you want to serve a balanced meal to your family. And you want it to be easy to prepare. And you want it to have enough variety to satisfy everyone’s preferences.  And it has to be tasty.

This Sunday in Healthy Living, dietitian  Jennifer Motl will share five recipes for healthy, quick, tasty weeknight meals. None are intimidating in terms of the cooking skills needed to prepare them. And one includes chocolate. Personally, I plan to clip her column from the paper and save it, so I can pull it out on evenings when I need meal ideas.

Also this Sunday in Healthy Living:

• a column by local counselor Delise Dickard on how to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, and why it’s important to your happiness
• a column by local neurologist Maha Alattar on how bad sleep and stress make you prone to overeating and weight gain, and what you can do about it.

Remember, you can also find their work — and far more health-related information — on our special FredMD site on fredericksburg.com. Here’s the link: http://fredericksburg.com/topics/fredmed
