Planning healthy meals for yourself and your family
Planning healthy meals can be difficult and time consuming, but
with some advance planning and some basic knowledge of
nutrition, it is easy to create a week's worth of healthy meals
that everyone in the family will love.
The key to creating healthy, delicious meals for the family is
planning, planning and planning. Planning the week's meals ahead
of time is the best way to create meals you can be proud of,
while keeping cost and time commitment to a minimum.
Convenience devices such as slow cookers and microwaves can be a
huge time saver when planning and preparing meals. There are
many delicious and healthy recipes that can be started in the
morning and left to cook all day in a crock pot or slow cooker.
These are great choices for working families.
In addition, making the meals ahead of time on the weekend and
heating them in the microwave is a great way to stretch both
your food and your time. There are many microwavable healthy
meals you can make at home, and single serving microwave safe
containers allow every member of the family to eat on their own
schedule.
When planning the meals for the week, it is a good idea to
create a chart listing each day's menu and each days' schedule.
Planning the quickest, easiest to prepare meals for the busiest
days of the week is a smart strategy.
It is a good idea to involve the entire family in creating the
week's meal plan. Get everyone's input and note everyone's
favorite foods. Of course, that does not mean eating pizza every
night or having ice cream for dinner. It is still important to
eat healthy meals, and involving your spouse and children in
healthy meal planning is a great way to pique their interest in
healthy eating at an early age.
It is also a good idea to get the entire family involved in the
preparation of the meals. Even children too young to cook can
help out by setting out the dishes, chopping vegetables,
clearing the table and washing the dishes.
Cooking large
quantities of healthy food is a great way to save
time. Cooking large amounts of stews, soups, pasta, chili and
casseroles can be a huge time saver. Making double and even
triple batches of these staple foods, and freezing the leftovers
for later use, is a great way to save both time and money.
When freezing leftovers, however, it is important to label the
containers carefully, using freezer tape and a permanent marker.
Try to keep the oldest foods near the top to avoid having to
throw away expired items.
Stocking up on meats when they are on sale is another great way
to use that valuable freezer space. Stocking up on such easily
frozen foods as chicken, turkey, ground beef, steaks, roasts and
chops is a great way to make your food dollar stretch as far as
possible while still allowing you and your family to enjoy
healthy, delicious meals every day.
Keeping a well stocked pantry is as important as keeping a well
stocked freezer. Stocking the pantry with a good supply of
staple items like canned vegetables, canned fruits, soup stocks
and the like will make healthy meal preparation much faster and
easier.
Stocking the pantry can save you money as well as time. Grocery
stores are always running sales, and these sales are a great
time to stock up. Buying several cases of canned vegetables when
they are on sale, for instance can save lots of money and
provide the basic ingredients for many nutritious, easy to
prepare meals.
Examples of great staples to stock up on include whole grain
cereals, pastas, tomato sauce, baked beans, canned salmon, tuna
and whole grain breads. It is easy to combine these staples into
many great meals on a moment's notice.
