Ever wonder what it would feel like if dinner time came naturally? Or how you can create a way not to stress over meal planning? Below I share 4 ways on How NOT to do dinner.
Instead of focusing on the long list of things we “think” we NEED to be doing to have a successful meal plan, here are 4 things you need to STOP doing today to help you get dinner done faster!
#1
STOP letting time pass by without having a plan? Do not be afraid to create a plan that you wont follow to a T. A plan is exactly that, a PLAN! It is not concrete. So pick a night and take a few minutes to look at your calendar and create a meal plan or a guide to go by.
#2
Stop dirtying dishes and making a mess for only 1 meal. If you are cutting, cooking, sautéing, and make a mess make at least 2 of that same dish and put one in the freezer for another night. Or, you can morph what you are cooking in to another dish like ground 10 pounds ground beef and morph into tacos, sloppy joe, and chili.
#3
Stop letting your freezer inventory get low. I promise it will be worth 1 hour of your time to brown up a bunch of taco meat, ground beef, bacon, and sausage for your freezer. Keeping these on hand will be a huge time saver in whipping up casseroles, tacos, or spaghetti.
#4
Last, STOP fretting over what to cook! Create a Master Meal sheet. All this is a brain dump of all your families favorites plus any new recipe your family likes. Then whenever you are creating your meal plan “guide” you will never draw a blank. You can create master meal sheets for lunch, breakfast, dinner, and snacks!
Now that I have given you 4 very easy and practical things to STOP doing, you will feel like what you are already doing is enough, and that feeding your family homecooked meals does NOT have to be stressful! You just have to change your mindset!
