It’s super easy to get overwhelmed when trying to plan, shop, prepare, cook, and eat all the foods you’ll be eating.
There are thousands of websites dedicated to healthy recipes and it’s SO much information, it can leave you paralyzed.
The trick, and what I do, is to keep it as simple as possible. There is no need to cook meals with 25 ingredients (unless you like to), because a meal with 5 ingredients can be just as tasty and healthy.
I also find it best to stick with the same 3-4 recipes for each meal time. Not only will this save you money on useless ingredients that you’ll use once and never again, but it saves a ton of time trying to plan and prepare.
Remember, the easier you make it for yourself, the more likely you are to stick to it. If you think you have to spend hours per day planning and cooking, you’ll most likely give up because it’s not sustainable.
I like to cook , but I just don’t have the time for it every day. Like you, I’m a busy dad with more things to do each day than I have time. So I find ways to make healthy and delicious meals as quickly (and cheaply) as possible.
Below are some “go-to” meals and I’ll rotate between them each week. It’s gotten so that I can whip them up with little thought or time and you’ll want to find your “go-to” ones as well.
Like I said, the easier you make this, the better.
