Stress Free Cooking Checklist
To prep, make, and execute a tasty dinner at the right moment you get your whole family to the table can be strenuous. Then there’s the cleaning up afterwards! Dinner can be a messy, tiresome affair…. yet it doesn’t have to be. Preparation and planning, as with other tasks, are perhaps the the most important aspects.
By using the suggestions laid out below you’ll be better organized. You might be surprised to see that a meal can be prepared and cleaned away so quickly and effortlessly.
1. Plan ahead. Any amount of planning will help the meal making process, whether it’s following a full-blown meal plan, or simply taking some meat out of the freezer the day before.
2. Organize your kitchen. Just because you’ve always kept particular items in a particular place, doesn’t mean you should. Give to others things that no longer get used and move the items that you most often use to places where they are more easily accessed.
3. Keep a plastic grocery bag on the counter where you cook. Do so, and you can drop all the garbage straight in there, rather than having it build up and get scattered around. Once you’re done, then you just need to make a single trip to the garbage can.
4. Place ingredients away after you use them. Use some time to clean up while you cook and you will be surprised at how improved the state of your cooking area is when you’re done.
5. Buy in bulk. Have dry goods on hand that you tend to use frequently to avoid last minute grocery store trips.
6. Wash a dish or two early. There will always be some dishes to clean after the meal is done, but by cleaning at least of few of the prep dishes in between simmers and stirs, there will be less.
7. Set the table early. If this is done early it is one less thing competing for your attention at mealtime.
8. Delegate tasks to others. Make sure your members of your family know prior to eating what their job is i.e. doing the dishes, clearing their plates etc.
