I actually enjoy cooking, but it’s figuring out what to cook as quickly as possible
that always takes me the longest amount of time. So, for my own sanity, I figure out
my weekly meal plan ahead of time. I cook some portions on Sunday so I have food
ready during the week (mostly my proteins). But mostly I follow some super simple
tips:
Buy rotisserie chicken. Already cooked, just needs to be cut. Five minutes later,
you have a meal!
Buy steam bags of veggies. Five minutes in the microwave and your side is ready!
Buy precut bags of salad. Time saver!
Add frozen veggies to meats and eggs. No chopping or peeling.
Buy things that are pre portioned like individual peanut butter servings or apple
slices. Grab and go is where it’s at. “Bake” potatoes in the microwave. Four minutes will cook a small-medium potato,
seven minutes will cook a large one.
Have snacks handy to avoid picking at food you don’t really want. You can even buy
individual servings of peanut butter to dip your apples in!
Don’t feel like you need to eat something different every day. I choose 3-4 dinner
options and rotate them throughout the week.
Consider ordering your groceries from a delivery service. I have several options in
my area: Stop and Shop, Walmart, Target, and BJ’s Wholesale. It’s such a time saver!
Here you can find a super simple meal plan for the week. Alternate meals however
you see fit. Take the stress out of planning meals for your family and reduce your
preparation time. As a bonus, you’ll even find a grocery list attached.
