I often think: if I hadn't been a vegetarian, I'm afraid I would have fallen down long ago. How can you be a vegetarian when you are so busy?
To be honest, I want to buy fresh vegetables every day. The truth is: there is no time at all.
Usually buy fruits and vegetables for at least five days on Sunday morning; Dry goods such as whole grains can be purchased online.
Tip: Choose a brand with quality assurance, organic or traceable. Individuals generally buy in two fixed places. Organic vegetables are delivered once a week in many cities, and the price is slightly higher, but personally, it is cheaper than going out to eat, so it is better to order cheap takeout or eat out, and try to cook and eat seasonal dishes with guaranteed quality.
Control the variety and quantity, depending on the number of people eating. It's not easy for me to eat fewer people and have more kinds. I accidentally put some fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator for more than a week.
Every time you cook by yourself, whether you eat alone or as a family, the process is the same: washing vegetables-preparing to cut vegetables-cooking-enjoying-washing dishes and cleaning up. No matter how fast it is, these processes will take some time. So on weekends, you can prepare a lot of dishes in advance and put them in the refrigerator, so you can prepare them quickly when you have no time.
For example, you can cook a lot of chickpeas at a time and put them in quick freezing. When you want to eat, take it out in advance and refrigerate it before thawing. Cooking a dish with tomatoes will save time.
Usually once every two weeks, we order breakfast in vegetarian restaurants. Make porridge or paste for breakfast, then steam one or two whole wheat steamed buns with side dishes.
Tip: Divide a small portion before freezing. If you put them together, because they are all frozen together, it is not convenient to take them out and thaw them.
Sometimes I suddenly worry about not knowing what to eat, especially when time is tight. At this time, take stock of all the ingredients and arrange the menu for one week in advance. You can choose from them when you do it, which is more efficient.
This is a mind map I have written before, and the part of food has just begun to be written. The advantage of this is that you know your own ingredients and you are more efficient when cooking. Of course, I also have a handwritten wall. Before cooking, I can write down the complicated steps of ingredients and simply write down the name and ingredients.
When I cook every meal every day, especially when time is tight and I have to cook everything myself, I realize that it is not easy to cook every day. Mom is really a great species.
At this time, you should go out with toothache once or twice a week, so that you will feel more relaxed and change dishes-but in fact, it takes more time to go out to eat, and it is easy to eat buffet, so it is not easy.
When I found out that I didn't even send DIY photos of vegetarian dishes, because I was not in the mood to take them. You will know that I am really busy these days. Take this passage to sum up and remind yourself:
No matter how busy you are, you should eat well.
