Make Good Choices and Keep Things Simple

Make Good Choices and Keep Things Simple

Making a new dish for the first time almost always takes longer than you expect. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes of cooking and prep time to account for this, but ensure that the other dishes you’re preparing are things you’re familiar with.

Know what you’re going to make ahead of time and stick to it. For example, on a weeknight, you could stick to a protein, cooked veg or starch, and something made of raw plant parts.

Make a Timeline

Decide on when dinner is going to be served, then work backwards from there. Write down what you’re making, with recipe times and cooking temperatures beside each item.

For example:

  • Pan-fried chicken breasts—30 minutes, stove top
  • Roasted carrots—45 minutes, including washing/peeling/chopping
  • Salad with blue cheese and red onion—10 minutes
  • Bacon—About 7 minutes

Given these prep times, you will need an hour, considering that the chicken and carrots can cook at the same time.
