These are notes from my way to health class.
- Why don’t do menu:
- Cooking for one or just two.
- Hard find a variety
- Get into ruts.
- Sometimes healthy food is expensive.
- Don’t know how to cook
- Take time to plan and shop and cook the meal.
- It’s hard to have fresh food purchased once a week last through the whole week. Use up food that doesn’t have a long shelf life eat it in the first of the week.
- Buy things you know you’re going to use.
- Frozen vegetables can be an alternative to fresh.
- One way to work on time is to cook bulk. And freeze into individual portions and have a variety.
- With a menu, you can plan ahead like a chicken on two days then cook the chicken at once.
- Instant pot makes meals in 30 min.
- Once you have menus planned keep them to recycle. Keep a binder.
- Unexpected guests. Have certain food as a backup.
- Extra dishes when you make individual meals. If you don’t know how to cook start checking out the registry.
- Nutrition for a healthy heart cooking module.
- In the binder, there is a handout on using herb and spices.
- Planning for items on sale. Or items not in season buy frozen.
- Nothing sounds good. Check out cookbooks. Pinterous,
- Makes notes on the recipes you use of what your family likes or what changes you made.
- See what friends are doing for healthy eating.
