Not everybody feels like cooking every night. Heck, some people don’t feel like cooking any night! However, maintaining a healthy diet is still critical to your overall wellness. Specifically, eating fresh, natural, real food, not processed food, plays a significant role in your overall health.
Consider these suggestions that will help you reduce your kitchen time and improve your diet:
- Talk to family or caretakers about shopping for groceries and preparing meals for you once or twice a week.
- Cook a few meals on a day that you do feel like being in the kitchen. Most recipes make servings for 4-6 people. This means leftovers- which you can freeze or refrigerate in Tupperware and eat later in the week or month.
- Buy prepared meals from the fresh salad bar and deli counter in your grocery store. We stress the word fresh!
- Look into home delivery services in your area. There are plenty of local supermarkets, restaurants and healthy food delivery services that offer weekly meal delivery programs.
- Partner with your friends and neighbors to share the shopping, cost and cooking responsibilities, and enjoy eating with your friends!
- Plan your meals a week ahead of time. If you stick to simple recipes and plan ahead, you will have minimal shopping and prep time.
- Do you have financial or mobility limitations? Look into Meals on Wheels or similar programs in your area, which deliver meals twice a day to seniors who can’t cook or get out of the house.
- Start collecting healthy and easy recipes you find online or from friends. This way you have a variety of simple meals in your repertoire.
