Times have changed!īut we don’t have to forage, farm and hunt all our own food anymore – nor should we feel forced into a “one size fits all” mentality about food, convenience and making our diets fit our lifestyles. I don’t have all day to devote to preserving and cooking food like Laura Ingalls Wilder’s family. Maybe real food isn’t possible in modern society, you think. Meal Planning Excuses Maybe It’s Just Too Hard The stress of that dinner hour is still weighing on your shoulders as you gaze upon your kitchen and try to steel yourself for the cleanup hour.Īnd you know they’re all going to want to eat again tomorrow.

There are times at the end of the day that I walk into the kitchen to finish cleaning up – especially if we had to run somewhere after dinner – and I just want to curl up in the fetal position and hide.ĭo you know the scene I mean? Perhaps you’ve seen it in your own kitchen:
After our family’s dinners, I’m pretty sure we spend more than 4 minutes just carrying things back to the kitchen to put away. Only about 4 minutes of the 31 spent on food are designated for cleaning up, which leaves time for barely anything other than throwing away packaging and paper plates (or accounts for many days when nobody makes food at all?). I am not average, my friends, and if you’re reading this blog, I’m guessing you are not either. The average American only spends about half an hour a day on all kitchen tasks combined. Some days I feel like breakfast alone takes almost two hours! How long do you spend in the kitchen each day meal planning, preparing food AND cleaning up after meals?
