7.Keep the Basics on Hand
A few “go-to” foods are always good to have in the house for a snack or to add to a meal: Nuts and seeds, washed greens, hard-boiled eggs, chopped fruit. Quick-fix foods that keep for a long time are also good, like rice, dried pasta, canned tuna, and frozen veggies. They make it easy to throw something together, even when you haven’t been to the store in a while.
8.Make Extra
If you know you use a lot of some ingredients or recipes, double or triple the amount you cook at once. You can save yourself the hassle of cooking beans, boiling eggs, or steaming veggies several nights per week.
