meal planning for the work-at-home mom

Posted on May 07, 2008 by dc

Okay, so you’ve worked hard to get your home office organized and you’ve developed some strong skills in parenting as well. You might be thinking you have it all covered at home since your pantry is organized immaculately and everything in your kitchen has its place. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re still busy working from home and driving kids to practice, running errands or taking care of your household in the evenings. Another thing you can learn to do to simplify your life is to plan your meals and cook in advance.
Meal planning and bulk cooking are both wonderful techniques you can utilize and modify to fit your families needs. The idea behind this is simple. The principle is that you cook and or prepare your meals ahead of time and then preserve them by either freezing refrigerating them. It can also help stretch your food budget dollar further, since you can cook one large meal and get two or three other meals from it with the proper planning.

Start by writing down a list of your favorite meals and plan on preparing a grocery list that will coincide with your menu. Since you’re learning to cook in bulk, your shopping list will have to change accordingly so you’re sure to have enough ingredients on hand when the time comes to do the cooking. With careful planning and skilled organizing in place, you can find more time to rest and relax on your hammock chair and spending quality time with your family.

    THanks! I need a boost in the meal preparation area. I get sick of making tacos and crock pot chicken. I’ll try the bulk thing!
