]]>Meal Plan
The key is to create a realistic meal plan. With it, you won’t have to think about cooking and whether you have everything you needโyou can just do it! You can make a meal plan for the week, then go grocery shopping on a day that works best for you, and enjoy it for the rest of the week knowing that you have everything you need at home.
Meal Prep
There are many ways to make cooking easier using meal prep. Some people cook for the whole week over the weekend and freeze the separate meals, while others chop the vegetables and prep the ingredients in other ways so they can cook fresh food daily but do it faster. Another option is to cook the grains in advance and only add fresh meat and veggies every day.
Cooking
Now that you have everything ready, cooking is much easier than you imagined it. Your fridge and pantry are stocked, you have all the staples ready, so making a fresh meal can easily take much less time than a delivery would take to get to your door. There are officially no more excuses!

]]>Control The Ingredients
Preparing homemade meals means that you know exactly what youโre eating, which is definitely not the case when ordering fast food or even going to a restaurant. Every restaurant chef knows tricks to make their food tastier, like adding too much salt and butter or over-roasting the meal. Even though restaurant food is delicious, you have the ability to make your homemade meals healthier.
Portion Control
People are more likely to overeat at a restaurant because we want to get our money’s worth. In case you have portion control problems, preparing your own food can help solve this problem.
Family Bonding
Preparing and eating food together is the perfect opportunity for a family to spend time at home together and bond. Cooking healthy meals is also a good way to teach kids about nutrition and to adopt healthy eating habits.
Save Money
Last but not least, preparing homemade food may require some time and organization, but itโs cheaper than eating out. If youโre looking for ways to save some money, this is by far one of the easiest ways to do it.

]]>Stewing
When it comes to stewing, there are a few things that can make your life easier:
- Feel free to use cheaper cuts of meat because stewing for a long time will make them tender anyway.
- Add the vegetables later because they need much less time to cook than meat.
- Plan enough time for your meal to be cooked properlyโaround two hours or more.
As it got a little chillso again today I thought Iโd do a nice bit of comfort cooking. ~ Recipe up in stories and highlights right now so you can cook along whenever you have the ingredients/time. ~ By omitting the tomato and booze this recipe is Paleo friendly and will still be reallllly delicious. ~ Youโll need: Frying pan Casserole dish / Slow cooker Any kind of meat that suits slow cooking, short rib, bavette, stewing steak, lambs neck whatever you have to hand. Some bone broth; Iโve used our organic beef bone broth but lamb, chicken or duck would work just as well. Some veg – Iโm using traditional onion carrot and celery. If youโre low FODMAP and avoiding onion you can use leeks. Iโm using garlic cloves but you could use wild garlic. To thicken Iโm using arrowroot powder but you can use any flour/powder to thicken like cornflour, or normal plain flour. Donโt use almond flour or coconut flour itโll go horribly grainy and taste weird. Trust me Iโve tried. Disaster. Herbs are pretty flexible too, and if you have a tomato vine with your tomatoes you can cook that in too, it imparts lovely flavour (but remember to remove it before serving). Booze or no booze your call; Iโve used some organic low-sulphite red wine but you could use any wine or even Madeira or port (maybe just a bit less than Iโve used). And a splash of vinegar makes all the difference imo. Trust yourself and add a little at a time. Taste as you go and youโll get the swing of balancing the sour, sweet and saltiness. Then just be patient. Let it do itโs thing. Itโs so worth the wait. ~ Ultimately the key is use what you have and make it your own, take your time and taste as you go. Slow cooking is pretty forgiving. ~ Will serve this later with a mash or polenta of some kind and some wilted greens. ~ This has definitely brightened up this dreary day.

Grilling is great for lean meat and veggies. Here’s how to make the most out of it:
- Make sure your grill is preheated before cooking the food.
- Closing the lid will preserve the heat and help you control the temperature.
- Clean the grill after every use to prevent sticking.
Steaming
If you want to eat food that went through the minimal cooking, these steaming tips are for you:
- Don’t let water touch any part of your food if you want it to be steamed, not boiled.
- Over-steaming food will only make it soggyโ10-15 minutes should be enough for most foods.
- Covering the steaming dish will make the process faster.
