In the evening, when you come home from work, the refrigerator is often empty. And then hunger triumphs over reason, and you eat what does not require cooking. And, of course, this is by no means healthy food. How to diversify the menu so that not a lot of time is spent, and there are more healthy dishes in the diet?
Instructions
Step 1
First and foremost, learn to plan ahead of time what you will eat during the week. It doesn't take so long to schedule a few dishes, but you will always know what awaits you for dinner tonight. And unnecessary reflections disappear, because thinking on an empty stomach is unbearable.
Step 2
At the end of each week, go to the hypermarket and buy the food you need to prepare all the meals for the next seven days. Consider also some healthy fast food products, for example, frozen vegetables, eggs, cottage cheese.
Step 3
Try to form a diet as balanced and varied as possible. If on Monday evening you are planning to make buckwheat with mushroom sauce, then on Tuesday it will not be superfluous to enjoy a Greek salad with bread topped with cheese and herbs.
Step 4
Try not to eat the same dish twice and always cook only once. The only exceptions can be borscht, bean stews, mushroom soups, since these dishes always become much tastier and richer in 1-2 days.
Step 5
It only seems to you that, having come home after an 8-hour shift, it is impossible to stand at the stove. Try turning it into a passionate activity. The average cooking time for a second course is 30-40 minutes. In fact, there is not much to indulge in fresh, healthy and homemade food.
Step 6
If you really want to eat, then drink a glass of kefir or fruit yogurt. The milk mass will fill the stomach, turn on the metabolism and prepare the digestive system for your dinner.
Step 7
Try to find non-standard solutions when preparing food. Use a variety of seasonings that can change and taste the same dish. Instead of vegetable oil for salads, start using olive oil. Various sauces, which you can buy in the store or make yourself (hot on the stove or cold in a bowl), will add a sophisticated aroma and taste to any of your dishes.
Step 8
And most importantly, do not be lazy, and also do not be afraid to fantasize, because any cooking consists not only of basic products, but also of various optional little things that will eventually play the main melody in your culinary song.
