These past weeks have been hard for every one of us as we are feeling burned out, tired of cooking and living the same routine every day. Every time we want to eat something, it almost takes us an hour to decide whether it is imperative to get off the sofa to cook something. We want to eat, but do we have the will and energy to jump straight from the couch onto the kitchen floor.

Most people would say no to that. But we must eat something, correct? If you are worn out and battling to make sure that you are eating the required amount of diet, here are three kitchen hacks that might help you.

Redefine meal

The making of a meal is considered equal to cooking, but this idea is entirely wrong. To set up a healthy and nutritious meal, your focus should be on three or four diverse groups of food that will fulfill your appetite without the need to spend a lot of time preparing it.

You can blend in these different foods and match them according to your taste, as this will be anything but difficult to prepare and meet up to make up a total feast, for example, slices of toast with nicely fried eggs, cheddar, and avocado. One can always try something new.

Single-day plans

Since going to the grocery store every day isn’t an option, most of us have any more, it is advised to purchase all the food you need once a week.

Devising out a simple plan and putting it into motion can be quite helpful as you will save yourself from extra market-runs. Make a plan for what’ll be your diet for the coming week. What foods will you eat the next week etc.? It is suggested to go for foods that last longer on shelves. For example, broccoli, cabbage, squash, pears, and apples are the best choices.

Swap turns with neighbors

If you are not too close with your neighbors, this isn’t the right time to hang out with them, but it is quite the right time to start showing them that you care. The whole idea behind swapping turns with the neighbors is that you can always make a plan with them that you’ll take turns while preparing meals.

Tell them that one day you will make food and will send it over to their house too, and the next day they should do the same. It will not only motivate you to put effort into making a meal, but you will stop feeling burned out as the day when your neighbor will bring you the food will be your kitchen-free day.
