Find Delicious Recipes by Ingredients Already at Home
Tired from working all day at the office and not excited about going home and spending 2 hours cooking? We have all experienced his. And nobody wants to do dishes after working in the kitchen for a couple hours.
Isn’t it easier to just pick something up on the way home? It sure is a lot easier, but it’s both expensive and unhealthy. My goal is to get us all back into the kitchen or for some just in the kitchen for the first time.
Cooking at home is easy, healthier because you control the ingredients and stress relieving.
Planning is the most important part of getting a meal to the table without turning your life upside down.
Step 1 – Get a calendar and list your meals for the week. I only cook Sunday – Thursday. It’s important to make enough for lunch the following day. For example, if I’m making a meal on Monday, I try to make enough to take for lunch on Tuesday. This really saves a lot of money because a lunch will cost at least $5 per lunch.
Step 2 – Make a shopping list of groceries you need. A lot of times, compared to what you already have at home, you will find that you only need to purchase a couple groceries at the grocery store.
Step 3 – Go to the grocery store with your list. This trip to the grocery store can take 30 minutes to an hour depending on when you go. I go to the store early Sunday morning to beat the rush.
Step 4 – This is the fun step. Cook the meal. As soon as you have the ingredients at home, it’s easy and fun to cook. With the proper planning and support from your family, cooking will be fun and stress free. Cooking could even be stress relieving. Feel free to substitute ingredients and add ingredients to your recipes.
Final step – No dishes for you! It’s time for your husband, wife or kids to step up and help out. You did the cooking and now it’s time to relax. Kick up your feet and watch some TV. After all, you deserve it.
After a couple months, you will be addicted to cooking and you will see your savings increase and you will probably lose some pounds, too.
