You guys, if I could share only one single food-related recommendation right now, it would be this: keep eating meals. 🍱🍝
For many of us, being home 24/7 and trying to cope with all the things can easily lead to over-snacking. 🥨🍨
I can’t even tell you how many times in the past few months I’ve found myself wandering to my fridge or pantry and just looking inside, trying to figure out what my next snack will be. I know that this is more out of boredom than actual hunger, even if I sometimes try to convince myself otherwise. When my normal meal time finally rolls around, I don’t feel hungry enough for a full meal and decide to skip it (which then leads to even more snacking afterwards) and the vicious cycle continues.
Try scheduling when your meal times will be and stick to your schedule! Having a full meal will leave you feeling full longer and help bring a little bit of normalcy and structure to your day.
Will and I are starting some new traditions: takeout on Friday nights and homemade pizza on Sunday nights. These are by no means elaborate, overly healthy or fancy plans, but it gives us a bit more structure to our week and it means there are two evening meals we don’t need to worry about planning. (Hands up if suppers are your most time-consuming meals to plan and prepare 🙋🏻‍♀️). Bonus is we are also able to support local businesses by ordering takeout from some of our favourite restaurants!
