Today I will be talking about an activity that I do on my weekend to save my time. I work as well as I study and I have a child who is now 7 years old who goes to school every day. And my husband also works full time so we all are busy around the week. So I plan well ahead to decide what should we eat for the entire week. Then I usually go for having those groceries on Saturday or Friday evening. Then I try to manage the entire Sunday to dedicate preparing multiple meals. For example, I cook meat, sometimes meat, vegetables, fishes, at least 5 to 6 items. So I put them in separate boxes and store them in the refrigerator. And it saves a lot of time and effort for the next coming weeks. Since I have the homemade food ready to eat, I just need to reheat that food and we can go. So also I sometimes make some easy recipes for my kids lunch box. That is like I make some sandwich patties or some vegetable rolls so that I just need to fry them to make them ready to eat. So it also saves my time. And I really feel very relaxed since I can have healthy homemade food and it is also helpful for my child and my husband as well. And I can spend that time to other more productive way like spending quite good family time as well as studying or having some personal own space. So it helps me a lot.
