Daily Routines
I have never been a strict routine girl, and am still not to some extent. But I do seem to have a little daily routine going on – obviously this can change
- Bring Biscuit down to go outside and do his thing and then he has his breakfast
- Make a coffee and we go back to bed and chill – he usually goes to sleep again
- Get up and come down for breakfast
- Shower and get dressed
- Fire up the laptop until lunch
- After lunch take Biscuit for a walk
- Back on the laptop
- Dinner
- Around 8.30-9 Biscuit goes out and then we go to bed and relax
Meal Planning
Once again I am not strict with my meal planning, but I do know what meals I will have that week. With C at uni and just having myself to feed, I know I can go one of two ways just have toast or make an effort to cook. I am finding I am cooking myself meals and freezing down left overs or splitting meat packs for another day. I am also bulk cooking meals that I can freeze down also, such as
This makes life so much easier and I am hoping to have a really cheap food shop at some stage soon
What is making your life easier?
I have been doing the cook once, eat twice thing lately – where I just make larger portions of everything and then freeze them down. It really helps when you only need one serving of something!
This is my kind of cooking especially with todays like today I have got something out the freezer I just need to reheat
I love a list right now. I don’t think I could get through the day without them.
I have a to do list as well as very much needed as things can suddenly not go to plan and then I have to work out what needs to be done
Getting on top of our diaries has initially made me feel a bit stressed because adding my husband’s appointments to my own diary makes it look even busier but at least I can relax knowing neither of us will double book.
That is one thing I do not miss in making sure we are both up to date on everything. Now it is me having to make sure my parents have things that do not clash
I’m trying to lose weight so meal planning has been so helpful!
Meal planning can make a huge difference and stop you from straying when trying to eat more healthily
I would say staying organized had my my life easier these days for sure…. as it keeps me on track with all that needs getting done and also my husband going back to work LOL….. it is hard to get things done when he is around all of the time. It throws off my routine.
Staying organised is the key to me as well. I have a tick list of things I need to do each day which helps
It sounds like you are doing ok, I like the idea of batch cooking. I like the idea of cooking for one! It sounds like Biscuit is a big part of your life.
I find batch cooking means I can have some quick and easy meals. Or have meals when I just can not be bother to cook for just me. Biscuit may be small but his personality is huge
I can’t cope with food shopping unless I have a list!I am hopeless at remembering what I do or do not need to buy!
I am terrible with a list but seem to know in my head what I need
I need to get serious with meal planning. I have been doing it on and off; I just need to be more consistent.
I can be a bit like that, but knowing what meals I have does help just not sure when to do it
Love a bit of batch cooking – does make it easier and helps to avoid food waste too! Lovely little morning routine you’ve got going!
I do love batch cooking and having meals ready for just getting out the freezer
Dogs are great for getting you into a routine of sorts, aren’t they? ❤️ 🐶 xxx
They are, he is the structure to my day
Meal planning is awlays a great way to simplify life. I know it’s helped me in the kitchen and when shopping.
It really does make life easier and more in control
Forward planning has always made my life easier whether at work or home.
I agree but someties plans do not go to plan
really important to feed yourself properly now c is at university – you are no 1 : do try and make a menu as all too easy to skip meals
I agree and I am doing ok so far
