It helps to plan ahead. This is where your dry erase board comes in handy. You could buy boards which have monthly or weekly calendars printed on them. If yours doesn’t, that’s okay. You can just list the days down the side or draw your own weekly calendar on it with permanent marker so it doesn’t wipe off.

Plan ahead. Note down dates you could possibly be late and put aside the quickest recipes for then. It is very imperative that you plan and make use of all the vegetables/meat that are perishable within the right time. If you find that some vegetables are starting to wilt, think about using them in casseroles and soups. Try and allocate one day of the week for all items you may need for the week so you can steer clear of daily trips to the grocery shop.

Healthy recipes usually include many fresh vegetables, so try to incorporate them in your daily diet. It’s best to avoid excess cream, oil and sauce. Meat and dairy products should be kept to a minimum at least 5 days of the week.. Also whenever possible switch the taboo items discussed with healthy alternatives. For instance-

Sugar free applesauce may be complemented with oil to reduce the amount of oil overall. Canola and olive oils are generally healthier than other varieties of oil and one can use them as much as possible. Ideally throw away the yellow part of an egg and only use the egg white Use whole wheat pasta and flour. Avoid fatty dairy products. Use 2% skim milk only. If a recipe needs lots of cream think about employing powdered no-fat milk paste. Use low sodium options when available. Use brown rice rather than white rice. Think meat as a side dish at best instead of a main dish and ideally try to avoid meat at least 3 days a week..

Choose recipes that can be made with healthy, quick cooking methods. A stir-fry only takes a couple of minutes to make. You could stir-fry vegetables and meats or tofu in a tablespoon of canola oil for only a some time and then use them to top rice or whole wheat or buckwheat noodles. Steaming is another healthy method of cooking. There are microwave steamers available that make it possible to enjoy steamed veggies with just a push of the button. Other healthy cooking methods are broiling, grilling, and braising.

Also consider uncooked meals for the quickest preparation. Salads, sandwiches and wraps are nutritious and only take a few minutes.

While cooking meat it is best not to store raw meat for long Ideally cook all the meat in a healthy way and store it in meal sized proportions. The same applies for vegetables. Cut vegetables and store in advance and use when needed.

Keep track of food everyone in the family enjoy and note them in your private cookbook. You can collect recipes in a binder and write down experiments that worked and have them available when you feel uninspired. If you are making alternate arrangements, remember to note it on the recipe so you can remember next time. After you make a recipe in your binder, make a remark of anything you want to do differently next time and the time it took you to prepare it. This can help you when you plan future meals.
