Cooking nutritious meals for your
family needn’t be hassle. With a bit of planning and preparation it’s easy for
you and your family to sit down and enjoy a meal time without you having to
slave away for hours beforehand. Here are five handy tips to make that happen:
Stock up on the basics
Staple foods such as potatoes, rice,
pasta, lentils and cous cous can be bought in bulk and stored for a long time. Using these staples with one type of meat and a couple of different vegetables
can give you fifteen different varieties of meal, reducing the chorus of ‘I’m
bored with this, we’ve already had it this week’ from your kids.
Use a slow cooker
One of the best means of preparing soups and casseroles, or even a
dessert, is with a slow cooker. Leave the food to tenderise on a long, low heat
and serve up when you get in. Practical and versatile, they’re money well spent
if you want tasty teatimes.
