Making dinner shouldn’t feel like a chore. There are a few things you can do to help make planning and cooking meals a breeze:

  • Stock Up: A pantry and fridge stocked with staples is the first stepping stone to easy dinners! Versatile ingredients to use in multiple recipes is key (for example, pantry items like chickpeas, beans, tomato sauce, dry pasta, and rice). Frozen vegetables and sauces also keep for months and are great for last minute meals! Find recipes that share common ingredients and make a grocery list.
  • Prep Ahead: Preparing certain ingredients in advance also goes a long way in making meal planning easier. Chopping vegetables, mixing sauces, and cooking proteins like chicken ahead of time means less work when the time comes to pull it all together.
  • Make a Game Plan: Sometimes it’s helpful to plan 2-3 larger, storage-friendly meals earlier in the week. These easily translate to leftovers for quick, easy lunches or even repeat dinners! Also choose a night or two for hands-free meals made in the slow cooker, so dinner is sorted even before you get home!
