I work in the evening. That’s when people want to work
out. I love my clients and my job,
so that’s all good. And it means I
need to plan ahead when it comes to cooking for my family.
Planning and cooking are two of
the best things we can do to promote healthy eating for ourselves and our loved
ones. For some of us, that might
mean spending part of the weekend making dinners for the week. For others, it might be enough just to
make sure that there are the right ingredients on hand for tasty meals that
come together quickly. The goal is
to avoid that weak moment when clearly the right answer is to call for
pizza. Where to start?
1. Make a list. Yeah, lists are boring, but without one, we might end up
without a crucial ingredient.
2. Make a habit. This works better for some families than others. If you and your family don’t have a
high need for variety, knowing that Monday means chicken can save a lot of
brain space.
3. Consider a slow-cooker or instant pot. Some of us have more time to prep
dinner while making breakfast than we do later in the day. Let the appliances do the work!
4. Stock the pantry. Figure out one or two meals that
everyone likes that can be made from stuff you always have on hand.
