It helps to plan ahead. This really is where your dry erase board can come in handy. One can purchase boards that have monthly or weekly calendars printed on them. If yours doesn’t, that’s okay. You could just list the days down the side or draw your own weekly calendar on it with permanent marker so it doesn’t wipe off.
When planning your dinners for the week, keep in mind any nights you are going to be busy or getting home late and plan the quickest meals for then. Also remember, any perishables you will require to use up that week, and plan your meals to incorporate them. Soups and casseroles are a good way to use up veggies which are starting to wilt. You can also ensure you have everything available to prepare your meals for the week, reducing last minute trips to the grocery store.
Healthy recipes usually include plenty of fresh vegetables, so try to include them in your daily diet. It is 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-
Substitute half the oil or shortening in baked goods with sugar free applesauce. Cook with healthier oils like olive or canola. Ideally throw away the yellow part of an egg and only use the egg white Utilize whole wheat pasta and flour. Use skim or 2% milk. If a recipe necessitates heavy cream, you can mix powdered no-fat milk with half the water to replace it. Utilize low sodium alternatives when available. Make use of brown rice rather than white rice. Think of meat as a condiment or side dish as opposed to the main course..
Choose recipes that can be made with healthy, quick cooking methods. A stir-fry only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. You’ll be able to stir-fry vegetables and meats or tofu in a tablespoon of canola oil for only a few minutes after which you can 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 easiest preparation. Salads, sandwiches and wraps can be nourishing 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 jot them in your private cookbook. You could collect recipes in a binder and jot down experiments that did the trick and have them on hand when you are feeling insipid. If you make substitutions, remember to note it on the recipe so you will recollect next time. Once you prepare a recipe in your binder, make a remark of anything you want to do differently next time and the time it took you to make it. This will help you whenever you plan future meals.
