Like Count On It labels, Menus4Mums aims to help busy families save time, money and get the most out of their food, by supplying family meal weekly menu planning and advice. Here's a great little article from them which shows how you can create easy, healthy and efficient family meals. Enjoy.
More and more parents are aware of the high salt and sugar levels in many processed foods and the danger they pose to their children’s development. That’s why so many would like to cook their families more home-made food, but it’s not always easy to fit into a busy lifestyle. At Menus4Mums we help busy parents ditch the takeaways and ready meals and serve up tasty, healthy food for their families, saving them time and money in the kitchen. So we thought we’d share our top tips:
Tip 1: Cook just one meal for the whole family. You can take out portions for small children before adding salt and strong spices, and you’ll be getting them used to the concept of eating the same as the rest of the family. You’ll also be saving on gas/electricity, not to mention your time.
Tip 2: Cook meals in bulk. We don’t mean in industrial sized quantities. But if you are making a Tomato Pasta Sauce, make twice or three times as much and freeze what you don’t need.*
Tip 3: Use Quick Cook Ingredients. For quick dinners when you’ve just got in the house, centre meals around diced chicken breast, mince, fish, pasta, noodles, and rice.
Tip 4: Slow Cook. Slow cookers are great for taking cheaper cuts of meat and turning them into succulent meals when you get in from work. They’re not just for stews – you can make a wonderfully tasty Bolognese Sauce in 5 hours in one.
