LPT: Create a ‘menu’ of your favourite dishes to help you decide what to eat during the week
I love to cook and try new things but when it comes to grocery time I often find myself stumped for what to prepare that week. So I had the idea to create a ‘menu’ in my notes app of all the dishes I know I like to cook and eat. Then I can write my grocery list accordingly. I organised mine into meals, so for example:
Breakfast:
\- Toast combo (Egg salad, tuna mayo on toast)
\- Shakshuka
\- English breakfast
Lunch:
\- Sandwich (I list all of my favourite sandwiches such as BLT, crispy chicken w sweet chilli etc.)
\- Tuna and crackers
\- Caesar salad
Dinner:
\- Yakisoba
\- Coconut curry poached fish
\- Cottage pie
Desserts/Baking:
\- Carrot cake
\- Crepes
\- Mango sticky rice
After nearly a year, my list is long (with dinner definitely having the most options). I find it super helpful as someone who’s mental illness makes it difficult to have regular and healthy meals! #entertainment source
