You are fed up with the limited healthy meal options and bored of eating leftovers all the time. And you are annoyed whenever you throw the food away because package always contained more than you eat.
If the members of the family rarely have time to eat together- or you are not in habit of cooking food; you could face such problems. But cooking in small quantity can be made easier and more interesting
Now how:
- Storing food in the freeze avoids wastage and keeps the food fresher. Freeze your food while they’re fresh for the best quality and availability.
- Don’t leave your foods on the counters for several days.
- For simple cooking, choose a dish that serves as the meal. You can include food from several food groups, such as whole grains, vegetable stew, rice casserole, beef, white beans etc.
- Cookbooks are not only a good source for recipes as well as they provide practical advice and tips. They also help in selecting healthy food, planning menus and reading food labels.
- Plan your meal so that you use the extra meal in new dishes. You can bake chicken breasts for a meal and use the rest in sandwiches.
- Invite your friends or relatives to join you for a meal. You can also invite people to cooking club. This provides you an opportunity to try recipes and make cooking more enjoyable.
Get creative; don’t settle for jelly sandwiches, peanut butter or a bowl of cereal, if you’re cooking only for one or two person. Try new things in your cooking. You can create healthy meals for you and your dining partner with a little planning.
