Last week in one of our posts, we shared some tips on how to make cooking more fun and today, we have 3 practical tips to make mealtimes easier.
Cooking doesn’t have to feel overwhelming and sometimes, a few small tweaks can make all the difference:
🧑🍳 Plan ahead but not too much - you don’t need to create a full meal plan. Simply writing down 3 go-to meals for the week can help you shop smarter and cook with less stress. It’s what we do with our menus at the Retreat each week.
🧑🍳 Adapt as you go - sometimes, it feels challenging to experiment and play around but once you have a simple plan, it’s much easier to make those little changes that create new and varied meals.
🧑🍳 Prep once, eat twice - whenever you can, double up on recipes. Make some extra soup, curry or roasted veg and you’ve got lunch or dinner sorted for another day. Or prepare an extra meal and place it in the freezer for when you’re exhausted after a long day.
🧑🍳 Use your freezer like a pro - chop and freeze fruit, vegetables, or smoothie ingredients in portions. It saves time and reduces food waste.
Small habits like these give you big results in the kitchen.
Which one will you try first or what tips do you have that you can share with us ?
