Jan. 22, 2008 - Shopping and Cooking day

Now you’ve decided what to make, how much and have your list ready to go!  You need to set your day to shop and cook.  Part of this will depend on which method you chose.  For instance if you’re doing the plan over’s (see last few days blogs) you may not need a “day” to cook but may need to make sure for the next 4-5 night you have slightly more time for dinner preparations to be preparing 3-4 batches of your dinner instead of one.  If you’ve chose this method decide which days you’ll make what and write it in your calendar or planner. For the other two methods described in the earlier blogs you’ll need either a day or part of a day set aside to cook.  For me it usually works better to do two afternoons rather than one whole day (that’s if I’m doing 20-30 meals.)  Usually I can accomplish 10-15 in an afternoon.  Error on the side of too much time rather than trying to squeeze it in and stressing yourself out.  Put your days on your calendar! Ideally your shopping day should be the day before you cook.  Another hint here, clean out your refrigerator before you go shopping (you’ll need the space!) So that’s your mission for today!  Set your shopping and cooking days! If you’re looking for more information or recipes here’s one of my favorite sites.  I get a lot of my recipes here. Come back next time for cooking day and packaging tips! Gina
