The last thing you want to do after working all day at the office is to spend hours cooking dinner. This is a fear I used to have every weeknight. Add the time to do the dishes to the hours spent into the kitchen and your night is gone.
Why cook when you can just go pick something up from the fast food joint? It's a lot easier, however, it's expensive and unhealthy without a doubt. Our goal is to get us all into the kitchen and stop spending money eating out.
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 write out your meals for the week. I usually cook Sunday - Thursday. Also, it's very important to cook enough for lunch the next day. For example, if I'm making spaghetti on Monday, I make enough so I can take it for lunch on Tuesday or Wednesday.
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 - Make your husband, wife or kids wash all the dishes. You did the hard part of buying the groceries and cooking the meal (even though cooking was the fun part...shhh), it's time for them to pitch in.
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. - 24553
