(Family Features) A pesar de tener vidas ocupadas y agendas apretadas, encontrar tiempo para compartir comidas regulares con los seres queridos fomenta las conexiones y las conversaciones que pueden beneficiar el bienestar mental y físico. Reunir a su familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo o vecinos al menos una vez a la semana para pasar tiempo juntos durante una comida brinda oportunidades para relajarse y socializar.

Si está buscando un poco de inspiración deliciosa, la American Heart Association recomienda programar una noche a la semana para crear una tradición recurrente y disfrutar de sus platos favoritos del desayuno durante la cena. Recetas como Burritos de desayuno con huevo, aguacate y frijoles negros; Huevos rancheros; y Tazón de quinoa estilo suroeste con huevos para el desayuno de la iniciativa Healthy for Good Eat Smart, respaldada a nivel nacional por Eggland’s Best, son ideales para compartir mientras se dedica tiempo a desestresarse en la mesa.

De hecho, según un estudio realizado por “Canadian Family Physician”, consumir las comidas regulares en casa con los seres queridos puede reducir el estrés, aumentar la autoestima y hacer que todos se sientan conectados con conversaciones a la hora de comer que les permitan desconectarse y relajarse.

Las comidas no tienen que ser elaboradas para conseguir una velada exitosa juntos. A pesar del esfuerzo que parece que implica cocinar una comida, la investigación publicada en “Medicina preventiva” muestra que quienes comen con frecuencia con otras personas, en particular los padres con sus hijos, pueden mejorar el bienestar social y emocional.

Además de los beneficios mentales y emocionales que aporta el compartir los alimentos con los seres queridos, comer juntos también puede alentar opciones más saludables cuando hay recetas mejores para usted en el menú. Comer en grupo puede brindar inspiración para probar recetas saludables para el corazón que incluyen la amplia variedad de verduras, frutas, granos integrales y fuentes de proteínas saludables que la American Heart Association recomienda para ayudar a prevenir enfermedades cardíacas y accidentes cerebrovasculares.

En heart.org/juntos encontrará ideas de recetas, temas de conversación y más consejos para la hora de comer.

Prepare el ambiente para una reunión deliciosa sirviendo un aperitivo fácil y atractivo como esta bandeja de fiesta de uvas, con uvas frescas, prosciutto, quesos, pistachos y otras delicias favoritas para las fiestas. Las uvas son fáciles de incluir, ya que ofrecen una variedad de diferentes colores, formas, tamaños y texturas, lo que las convierte en un refrigerio ideal y saludable o como ingrediente en sabrosas recetas.

Easy Easter Eats

One-pan dishes to make hosting simple

(Family Features) Even if Easter hosting duties fell on your plate this year and added one more thing to your holiday to-do list, that doesn’t mean it has to be difficult. After all, Easter is a time meant for fun and fellowship with the food just one part of the celebration.

Building the menu around simple, one-pan dishes can keep the focus where it needs to be: spending time and creating memories with family and friends. These dishes call for short lists of ingredients, many of which you may already have in your pantry, and simple preparation to create a full spread perfect for sharing with loved ones. Plus, using only one pan makes cleanup a breeze, so you can get back to the festivities quickly.

A dish like this Easter Roast lets you check both the main course and side dishes off your list, relying on the oven to do most of the work for you after some quick prep work. Similarly easy to prepare, these Refrigerator Rolls can also be made up to six days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to bake – a perfect complement to the savory roast and veggies.

Finish off your feast with an adaptable dessert like this Blueberry Crumble. Made using just five ingredients and ready in about an hour, you can swap the blueberry pie filling and yellow cake mix for any combination that suits your guests’ tastes like apple pie filling with spice cake or cherry pie filling with chocolate cake; the sky’s the limit when it comes to satisfying that sweet tooth.

Warm Up with a Fresh Casserole

An exciting twist on a breakfast classic, it’s hard to beat this French Toast Casserole when putting together your brunch spread. Crisp on top while soft and moist in the middle, it comes fresh out of the oven with the aroma of maple syrup and pecans that will have the whole house eager for a bite. It’s easy enough to make fresh in the morning but can also be prepared the night before so all you have to do is add the topping and pop it in the oven.
