Having some of your ingredients prepared ahead of time means less time in the kitchen preparing dinner during the week.
ADVICE
“ Themed nights are great. Think like pasta night, salad night, pizza night, bowl night, taco night, rice night, or soup night. This can help to keep you focused and make it easier to choose a recipe for each night’s dinner. “
