    I'm a chef and here's my biggest tip on how to work on multiple dishes at once:
    (As an example) if you have multiple dishes that call for sautéed onions, cut up however much you need for all the recipes combined. Grab the number of bowls that corresponds with the number of dishes and put the needed amount of onions in each bowl. Do this for each repeating ingredients (for me, onions, garlic and bell peppers tend to be in most of my cooking, so I cook them all together and then split them up.) Once you've cooked all those bits, you'll find that each dish only needs a few additions to finish it up (sauces, spices, etc.)
    Starting with rice and pasta is great as you can use those as bases for multiple meals. Same for proteins: choose your "main protein" for the week, cook plain then split. Choose other proteins that you can also prep in bulk: boiled eggs, lentils (can both be done in your rice cooker!), any canned meats you may use, etc. Using tomato sauce in multiple dishes? Heat up one large batch then split and season for each dish.
    Basically, if you break your recipes down into parts, you'll find that there are many different ingredients that you can bulk prep and then split and modify for corresponding dishes.
    If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. There are a lot of ingredients that you can bulk prep! Part of the lure of meal prepping is finding dishes with common ingredients and being able to bulk prep those common ingredients. (I sauté a whole bunch of kale then use it in all of my recipes for that week. Add to a quiche, a soup, a curry, etc.)

      This or use a highly rated recipe book. Coursera also has a lot of cooking/culinary courses which looks great and are pretty reasonably priced (I haven't tried them yet) but learning cooking basics might sound like it would take too much time but honestly, it would make you so much more efficient in the kitchen that the time and money investment is just worth every penny/second.

    My husband with ADHD can't multitask when he cooks either.
    Recently he's started using alarms on his phone to help him keep some scheduling in his life, and it's been going really well. He has an 11pm alarm when he takes his pills, and then reads for an hour before bed. He's also started stretching and eating breakfast every morning. His mood improved so much. His ADHD craves structure, but also rails against it.

    A tip for people that are interested in meal prepping: prepare thinks like sauces, pickled vegetables, taco fillings etc.
    That way you can combine more (the sauce with noodles, taco fillings with rice, taco filling added to the sauce and rice) and the food will be less repetitive.
    Personally cooking up a fresh batch of noodles is pretty low key to me as long as I already have some great things prepared to eat with it.

    • @Ariancia.Thystarian
      @Ariancia.Thystarian 3 года назад +6

      I do the same, I make big batches of things that I can combine and the only thing I need to cook fresh is the pasta, potatoes or rice. Sometimes cut up some fresh vegs. Rest is just heat up from being frozen and eat.

    • @raerohan4241
      @raerohan4241 3 года назад +3

      Highly agree! One of my favourite versatile make-ahead things is ground beef/chicken. Takes no time at all to cook, is super-simple, it freezes excellently, and you can do so much with it. You can eat it on its own with flatbread or bread, add sauce and put it over pasta, make it into chili, sprinkle some into omelettes at breakfast for some variety in flavour and texture, etc.

    Stuff I add for meal prep:
    1. Lasagna or Mosaka
    2. if you don't want to make salmon in advance you can make tinfoil meals of it! I love putting salmon and a bunch of veg + some butter and spices in tinfoil and just throwing it into the oven! That way you can prep most of it in advance and just pop it in on the day
    3. Try super easy pasta salads! I usually make mine with chicken, pasta, spinach, paprika and feta cheese (and then use the oil from the feta as the oil). I know you're not a huge fan of cheese, but simple pasta salads similar to that are great!
    4. Making pizza with tortillas
    5. One pot meals (for example in the rice cooker)
    6. Make some meals where you make room for several variations. Like you can pick between several ingredients (think rice, pasta or potato for example). You're gonna end up with your least faves on the final day but overall it's good

    Maybe Japanese? (or use a language app for a month)
    2. Play a popular computer game like the sims or something competitive if feeling it.
    3. Use a meal prep service like hello fresh or something a bit different like the spicery (just sends spices, instructions, not the food).
    4. Learn a new skill e.g. The guitar, painting
    5. Get a gardening plot of land and do some gardening.
    6. Make diy presents e.g. Jam, arty things.
    7. Do challenge like 100 days of art (theres a few books to help with that).

    I'm ashamed of my impulsive anger. It takes over when I feel someone intentionally wanted to offend or upset me and it's awful. It's like a 0 to 200 in a split second and sometimes I can't stop myself from reacting in that moment. If I try to suppress it, I spiral and I feel like I need to react to the thing that triggered it and anything else the whole day after in anger. I want the ability to stop and pause and not be so trigger happy. Something I've been aware of but lost on how to fix.
    PS: I've been on a trend of making soups. Cut veg (like carrot, celery, garlic) in smaller pieces, roasting in the oven, boiling in chicken broth, and then blending it together. Have bread on the side and I'm set for my meal. It's a way to get veggies in my stomach and I don't have to fuss much.

    Idk if anyone else has commented this yet but the trick to making multiple meals at once when meal prepping is using different appliances simultaneously. This means you pre heat the oven and while it preheats you “prep” (chop, dice, rinse anything) for all your meals. And while you have a meal cooking in the oven you use that time to cook another meal on the stovetop. By the time the oven is done you can have the stovetop food done too.
    I also recommend “1 pan/tray” dishes where everything is cooked in one pan or baked in one baking tray in the oven for easier meal prep and cleaning.

Corn and black beans. Lots of spices and then filled 14 whole wheat burrito's and packed them in tin foil and froze them. Now i reheat them for 25 min on 200* and its just the best lunch or dinner (or breakfast!!) My son heats them up with lots of cheese on top. Amazing. You can put anything in it and its so good.

    Hi taz, I just wanted to let you know that for better rice, you should wash your rice at least 3 times (unit the water is mostly clear) (agitate the rice in the pot of the rice cooker with water) and that in the fire, I recommend getting a zojirushi or tiger brander rice cooker. I have one of each and they have lasted so far, 20 + years in pristine condition. They also cook the rice better. You should check out some videos about the rice cookers and how to wash rice properly. (Also in my opinion, jasmine rice is the way to go) Lot of love 🥰

    Hey Taz, here’s a tip for cutting onions. The reason that onions make your eyes water, is due to the fact that when you cut into an onion the particles that are found in onions, they often need a liquid source to latch onto. And this source is generally your eyes. So essentially the onion particles latch onto your eyes and sting them. So to stop this (I even use this trick) you can wet a towel or flannel under some cold water and set it beside the chopping board that you are cutting the onions on. This will make the onion particles find their liquid source closer to them (the wet towel or flannel) instead of sorely, stinging your eyes.
    Hope this helps!

    I always try to clean while I am cooking, cuz it helps not to get overwhelmed by the huge amount of dishes. For mushrooms I use an egg slicer it's fast and really easy to cut in even slices. When there are multiple pans on the stove don't forget you can set the fires lower wich help with the time so not everything is ready at the same moment. Plan ahead and know what takes to most time, begin with this so you are not waiting around for things to get ready. Hope this could help. I love cooking and learning about food of all kinds of cultures. Don't forget to taste while you go. ☺️

    A good option for fish is to make some sort of fish pies. Those can be left in the fridge or even frozen and last for quite a few days. In Spain there is a very popular recipe for fish pies. They are Cornish pastries shape and size, filled up with a mixture of thick tomato sauce, tuna and boiled egg, and deep fried or baked (I recommend baked). The dough is made with 300 g flour, 30 mL olive oil, 150 mL boiling water and a pinch of salt. No flour raising agents at all! You can substitute tuna for salmon easily. I hope you enjoy them!
