an African-American couple with children in the kitchen and cooking togetherIt isn't easy to prepare home-cooked, healthy meals all week long. But your chances of success are much higher if you're not starting from scratch every night. Realizing this, dedicate a small chunk of your weekend to getting a jump on healthy cooking for the week. Tackle one or two easy, time-consuming cooking tasks while you binge-watch your favorite TV shows. Or simply roast a chicken while you work in your garden.

Each Thursday, one of the more than 100 video recipes from the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program is featured on the Mayo Clinic News Network — just in time for you to try over the weekend. You also can have the recipes delivered via the Mayo Clinic App.

These recipes are created by the executive wellness chef and registered dietitians at the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program. Find more recipes and other healthy living insights on the Mayo Clinic App.
