Everyday Change

It’s 6:00 p.m. and you’re starving. Throw down the briefcase, kiss the kids, open the fridge—nothing. At least not without major effort. Sure would be nice to get a knock from the dinner guy about now. What time did you say he was coming?

Plan ahead and you can be your own dinner guy next week. All it takes—and this is the hardest part—is a little extra effort over the weekend or whenever you have time to cook. Whip up some extra meals—or make a double or triple batch of whatever you’re making that night—and stick them in the fridge (or freezer) for the upcoming week. While you’re at it, chop up some extra veggies for healthy snacking or to go with the meals.

The next time you come home too tired to cook, you’ll have a meal in minutes.

Thanks, dinner guy.
