Today, most families are so busy with their schedules that there is little time to make dinner. Many folks have professed to be able to help you prepare and serve healthy 30 minute meals. Unfortunately, this is very unrealistic. Getting a dinner together so quickly requires a certain amount of prep work to be done before hand. Although a great concept, the realities of life do not always oblige.
In order for you to arrive home from work each day and have a meal on the table in thirty minutes you will have to do the prep work ahead of time. This prep can be done on the weekend and everything can be stored in the refrigerator for when the ingredient will be needed. This sounds so simple but in reality it is not always possible if you have a real life.
You need to be flexible and have alternatives since it is more likely to take 40 minutes to get food served. Every time you make a recipe you will get faster at putting it together. Decide which ingredients you can prep before hand that will reduce your time in the kitchen. Choose recipes that have few ingredients and are practical.
There are some things that folks can do to help them pull a good nutritious dinner together in thirty to forty minutes. There are people who have such a busy schedule that they need to find a way to put dinner on the table in record time every night. There are some tips that can help make life less stressful.
As an example, you can take some time over the weekend to roast, chop, or blanch vegetables. You can also make any sauces you will need for the week. When you plan your weekly menus you already know the ingredients you will need. There are a lot of meals that take more time for preparation than the actual cook time. Preparing what you can ahead will save time.
It is also helpful to use leftovers to create another meal during the week. When you make extra non a Monday, you will be able to use the left over food to create a dinner for Wednesday. You can recreate the meal or just serve it as you did the first time. Leftovers make great one skillet meals or can be used to make soup or stew.
Pressure cookers and crock pots can help speed things up when putting food on the table. You can prepare freezer bags of slow cooker ingredients and stock them in the freezer. Before leaving for work, just empty a bag into the slow cooker, set the temperature and hours, and dinner will be ready to eat when you get home in the evening. Pressure cookers can prepare meats so quickly that you will be astonished, and wonder how you got along without one.
Keep in mind that it is alright to get takeout dinners every so often. You can also get a dinner that is already prepared from your neighborhood grocer. When you want a break from cooking, bring home a fully cooked hot meal that can be served right away. If you can afford to, treat yourself and go out for dinner now and then.
