I’m looking to have tasty and balanced food while maintaining a reasonable budget and being more organised.
I know how to cook. I already have tasty yet not complicated meals I’m use to make but I never needed to be organised about it before.

So I decided to start to write menu in advance, do a some meal prepping probably a bit of batch cooking.
I found resources online to start following a plan but maybe you have advices for the beginner that I am.

Thank you!

    Always have an easy breakfast and sandwich supplies. I just tomato or cucumber sandwiches.

    This is something I really need to be careful about. Now that I don’t cook for a very spontanious and flexible day, I need to have quality snack available. Or esle, I’ll end up having good lunch and dinner but a bunch of unhealthy food all day long.

      Well those examples do include a decent amount of mayo… but you could go worse with a nice bread and vegetables.

      Have you found anything that works since you made the post?

        Yes. I’ve plan of doing sandwiches using houmous and lentils spreads as the sauce. I also want to do muffins, I have a recipe that’s easy for both sweet and savory, that can be packed with any dices or grated fruits and vegetables, and I could make bran muffins as well. For breakfast, I think I will just go for good quality bread, butter and jam. French breakfast is a sweet lunch to north-america standards.

        And fresh fruit in season.
