Here are some tips for the busy working mother to improve her meal planning and keep out of the fast food joints!
Organize your freezer if you cook ahead and freeze. Label the item,
date of freezing so you use up food in order. Freeze in packs of
single meals. Be sure to freeze your food in hard containers to
avoid frost bite.
Organize your shopping list to for a 2 week period. Have a column on
the family blackboard where everyone puts down what needs to be
bought. Saves you having to do all the thinking.
Make sure that everyone above 9 years in the house knows how to a)
cook rice b) make a sandwich c) cook eggs d) wash up after!
Plan the menu for the week. Put the day's menu on the family
blackboard. Say when frozen packs will be used; when you will be
cooking fresh; and when another family member does. You can check out my weekly frugal meal planning for food ideas.
