Planning out meals for a family of 4 when everyone is home can be challenging but doesn’t have to be!
✅My main tips:
- 📝write down a grocery shopping list before shopping. I like to think of the meals that I’d like to have and ask my family what they in a mood for, then I write down ingredients I need for a week.
- 👨🏻🍳bulk prep. I prefer to cook proteins, e.g. meat, fish and tofu in bulk so I can mix and match and have variety of meals. For example, salad with chicken or chicken tacos or chicken stir fry. I also cook rice or buckwheat in bulk.
- 👨🌾sign up for local farmers CSA so you get box of seasonal vegetables every week. Late spring season veggies can be eaten raw or steamed and doesn’t require whole lot of cooking.
- 🫶get your family involved in cooking. Let your kids to wash fruits and veggies and do other activities as age appropriate.
- 💃🏻have fun with it! Cooking should be an enjoyable process. Turn on your favorite music and sing and dance while you at it!
