Everyone is busy these days between kids (Happy back to school parents!) work and Life in general making dinner every...single...night...of...the..week... Can get old QUICK! Not that thats what I'd like it to be. I <3 the 50's lol Brakfast on the table every morning get to say goodbye to the hubby as he's off to work, the kids are up and say good morning, then later in the day a full course dinner is on the table where everyone sits down to eat the meal together.
Que the stopped record sound please!
Unless you were on a TV show I really don't think it was even like that then lol But I have found a way to make things a little easier.
4 HAVE To Do Things of Planning Ahead.
- Take 15 minutes on the weekend to plan the week's meals.
- Create two or three weekly dinner menus (or plan for the month) and then rotate so no one gets bored.
- Organize grocery shopping so everything you need is in the house.
- Prepare as many elements as possible in advance over the weekend. (Make rice, chop veggies, make sauces or cook and store meats, keeping in mind unless frozen even cooked meats shouldn't sit for over 3 days in the fridge)
Make rice or boil potatoes cover and store in the fridge for Monday or Freeze (the rice) in a freezer bag till wednesdays dinner.
Bake, fry or grill meats for thursdays dinner. add to an air tight container and put in the fridge.
Mix any glazes (gravy's sometimes will hold up till the next day as well) for monday nights dinner.
Chop up any extra onoins, garlic or any other veggies from Wenesdays dinner dish store in zip lock bags and put in the produce drawer in the fridge.
Prepare hamburger patties, chicken breats or pork chops for fridays meal and place in the freezer in an air tight container. Make a note to remove it to the fridge to defrost on thursday.
