Making Weekday Cooking a Little Bit Easier<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

How annoying do you find <\/span>preparing meals<\/span><\/a> on a daily basis? Maybe you\u2019ve got a whole family to cook for. This means spending a good two to three hours in the kitchen. Or maybe you just need to cook for yourself. But often enough, you really don\u2019t find the ordeal worth your time. Either way, sometimes meal making gets on your nerves, and you\u2019d love some ways to make it easier! Enter Meal Prep made easy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well thankfully, that\u2019s what this post is here to do. There are some bonafide ways to keep your cooking time to the minimum, and your eating time to the maximum – here\u2019s just a few of the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Subscription<\/p>\n

The recipe\u2019s open on your tablet, and the oven is preheating, but you\u2019re already exhausted! (<\/span>Source<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Get a Subscription Box – Meal Prep is taken care of<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Food subscriptions are super helpful, especially if you\u2019re looking to try out new foods in your culinary slump. You can pick and choose the meals you want to cook up, and then the company sends out the recipes and the ingredients to you to make sure you spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. After all, even shopping for the right foods is a huge drag! <\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you join up to the subscription that suits you and your tastebuds. Be sure to read up on services like <\/span>Hello Fresh Meal Kits<\/span><\/a> to see if they\u2019re worth your time. Not all food services are created equal, and you\u2019re going to want one that\u2019s good value for the money you\u2019re putting in and has the right kind of recipes for you to follow. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stock Your Cupboards Properly <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

And by properly, we mean you should have some basic and versatile ingredients always on hand! Buy some chicken and stick it in the freezer. Make sure you\u2019ve got some bags of pasta or rice in the cupboard at all times. Have a fully stocked spice shelf on the side in front of you. Have some tinned vegetables on hand as well. Get those bagged mixes if you prefer to fry some delicious veggies up. It\u2019ll make your time in the kitchen a lot easier to get through!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Meal<\/p>\n

Cook in Batches<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Batch cooking is great for those of us with little time or energy to spend in the kitchen, seeing as you still need to eat every day! When the inspiration to cook takes you, make sure you do more than just one meal for yourself. Cook up some extra, or a lot extra, and then stick all the excess in either the fridge or the freezer to be used later. <\/span><\/p>\n

After all, food is very easily thawed out and reheated, and you can eat well for days in a row based on the effort you put in in the here and now. There are even so<\/span>me great recipes out there <\/span>for batch cooking<\/span><\/a> efforts alone. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, weekday cooking is something we all get tired of from time to time, so make sure you\u2019re making the hefty task easier for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n
