​Cooking Tips

• One pot meals: Preparing a recipe that requires many steps, pieces of equipment and cookware, just means that you'll be spending a lot more time and energy cleaning up. 
• Soups, stews and slow braised meals are great to prepare all in one pot or dish. This will ensure that you can enjoy your meal without worrying about the dishes afterwards.
• Well stocked pantry: Keep your pantry well stocked with canned & dry goods that will save you from unnecessary trips to the grocery store. You can create some quick and healthy meals by keeping items in your dry storage like canned beans, canned tuna, barley, couscous, dried lentils, flours, rice, dry herbs and spices.​
