Advance Planning for Better Eating
How many times have you asked the question, “What’s for Dinner?” Well, sometimes you have it all planned out. Other times you don’t. On the days when you don’t, that’s when people tend to make bad food choices and also waste unnecessary time in the kitchen or shopping blindly for ingredients you may or may not need.
A good way to get around this is to plan things out in advance. Come up with two weeks worth of dinner menus and shop for the ingredients at the beginning of each week. You can find recipes in cookbooks or come up with some of your own. However, if the recipe is in your head, it could help to write it down in its entirety. That way you won’t forget any of the ingredients. There are few things that are more frustrating than being in the middle of a recipe only to realize you don’t have what you need.
