Healthy Eating Tips



Organize your kitchen
1. Make sure you have required ingredients on hand. if necessary, attach notes to food items so they won't be eaten before you need them
2. Collect and organize your recipes
3. Keep often used kitchen equipment in convenient places. you can store rarely used pieces in harder to reach places

Clean-up Quick
1. Clean up as you cook
2. Soak pots and pans while you eat to save time
3. Instead of putting all the dishes away after they're dry, why not set the table for the next meal?

Plan Ahead
1. Plan menus for a week
2. Make your grocery list as you plan your menus
3. Plan leftovers into your schedule

Cook Smart
1. Take a moment to read through your recipe to familiarize yourself with it
2. Gather all ingredients and utensils you need before you start 
3. Avoid distractions if possible. You'll be more efficient if your attention isn't divided

Use Your Resources
1. Look for cooking shortcuts at the grocery store
2. Use your kitchen appliances to your advantage
3. Enlist the help of others. Make meal time a fun and helpful learning experience for the family!
