time management Hellen Buttigieg
Back-to-school and back-towork season is upon us, and even though this year is different for most of us and we may be at home, it likely means more time in the kitchen preparing lunches, snacks and dinners, and less time for you to put your feet up or get other errands done. 38 Renters Guide | Dec. 3–17, 2021
Here are some helpful tips to handle the stress of autumn.
Double the amount you make and freeze it for quick meals on the busiest nights.
What’s for dinner?
Avoid the stress and expense of last-minute dinner decisions with a little advanced planning. Ask your family to list their favourite meals and create a revolving two-week dinner menu (with a grocery list to match). Post it on the fridge so whoever is available or comes home first can start preparing it.
Make school lunches easy.
Designate one shelf in the pantry for school snacks only. Transfer foods to airtight containers – you’ll save space because they stack well, and the food will keep longer. Pack lunches the night before and refrigerate. Assign an area in the fridge for school lunches and drinks.
