Can't seem to find time to cook???

Here are some tips:

Ever thought about bulk cooking?
  1.  Choose a day or a time during the day when you have a little extra time. Make a dish that will last a couple of days i.e) Lasagna, a casserole, etc. If you can, make two, that way you can avoid getting bored and alternate dishes and days.


Don't like Leftovers?
  1. When you purchase your groceries, go ahead and season the meat, even if it is as simple as Salt and Pepper. Place the meat in ziplock bags and freeze or refrigerate. If you decide to refrigerate, remember that the meat will only last a week or two depending on what it is.
  2. Play around with that starch! Make a large batch of rice, for example. Then with each meal, take a portion of the rice and play with it! Make stir fry one night, Add cilantro and have burritos another night.
Have kids and don't have the time?
  1. Get the kids involved! My grandma always put me to work in her kitchen. I crimped the beef patties, washed the meat, or I got whatever she needed (tupperware from the creepy room in the basement....)
  2. They can be the taste testers!
  3. Make a family friendly meal! Use this time to talk and cook. Food brings people together. 
  4. Get the significant other involved. Decide who is going to cook on certain days. 

Other ideas?
  1. Try Going Vegetarian or Vegan one day out of the week. It's a healthy choice and it SAVES MONEY!
  2. If you still can't find the time...HIRE ME! (or just hire me anyway! www.foodsnob.net)
