1. Do you have any friends, family members who
a) also suffer from lack of time but want to eat healthy and/or
b) love to cook?
Create a joint group for community cooking. We know, it might sound quite strange, but it's just a similar matter as borrowing evening dresses, carpet cleaner or mutual babysitting. Create a cooking schedule, divide shifts, who will cook when for your entire group. After all preparing 3 batches of potatoes takes the same time as preparing 7 batches of potatoes. But cooking 2 different lunches for 2 days requires cooking 2x. Well OK, let's leave math, we just want to say that even this way you can build interpersonal relationships in your life and it will save you time too.
2. Hand on heart, how often do you go on social networks? You can work with the answer in 2 ways. One option is that you decide to invest this time rather in cooking. It is not easy, that is why we have a second solution in reserve: start following blogs and profiles focused on fast cooking and preparing meals from only a small number of ingredients.
3. Do you have a freezer? Use full capacity of this handy machine. Prepare double batches, what tastes good today will definitely taste good in 3 weeks too. Have "on ice" several courses for those days when you have really a lot to do.
4. Combine. Today you have salmon with potatoes for lunch? So tomorrow have salmon salad and the day after tomorrow quickly prepare chicken pancakes with remaining potatoes. Also have enough courage for experiments like "what the fridge gives".
5. Pressure cooker is not a scarecrow, pressure cooker is a friend! Besides that cooking in it is healthier, it saves you a lot of time and energy.
