Spending huge amounts of our income on food became an annoyance to me. I'd rather go to Europe thank you very much!! We wanted four things, to eat well and enjoy our meals while keeping our weight and our expenses under control. Incentive was born and I started to do something about it. I hope to use this Blog to share what I've discovered.

planing a meal for two

The planning of a meal takes time and commitment to make a healthy and nutritious meal that will fit into ones lifestyle and time frame.

The planning part is made harder when both of the parents work, or in a lot of cases of single parent families, sometimes there is not the time or the will to do it.

This is when the fast food, or take out is used, to save time. This is never as healthy or nutritious as putting together a solid meal that does not include a lot of sugars and other non healthy ingredients .

Not everything has to be done just before the meals are served, there are many parts of the meal that can be prepared well in advance of the meal, this is when the planning beforehand bears the most fruit.

One quick thing that can be done is to buy a dozen eggs. boil them up and put them back into the egg carton making sure you mark them as cooked, now you have part of the meal done and these make a great healthy snack anytime.after-retirement.blogspot.com
