September signals the end of the summer holidays and the start of a new school year. After a few weeks of relaxation, trips away and a less strict routine, it's time for things to return to normal!
• Plan ahead Especially during the first few weeks of the kids going back to school, make your life as easy as possible by relying on simple, make-ahead dinners with leftovers that can be reheated. Simply search Cookidoo® for main dishes that serve 8 people or more, to ensure you'll have lots of lovely leftovers. If you've got your eye on a recipe that only serves 4 people, try bulking the meal out with bread or jacket potatoes to make it go further.
• Work as a team Invite your family to get involved with meal planning! Get together each week to browse Cookidoo® and invite everyone to pick one or two recipes they'd like to eat that week. If they've chosen meals they love, they're a lot more likely to eat them!
• Lay a good foundation Use the last few days of the summer holidays to get back into a routine. Prepare meals at the weekend, create a meal plan, and organise your kitchen in preparation for the new school year.
• Enjoy yourself Regardless of how busy things get, thanks to Thermomix® you can at least count on having a delicious, home-cooked meal to serve at the end of a long day. Let Thermomix® cook for you while you enjoy spending time with your family - after all, they won't be children forever!
