If due to lack of time you need to cook one day to eat several, we recommend our article on Batch Cookingwith many tips to organize lunches and dinners by cooking in batches.
How to organize the weekly menu
The menus are designed for the whole family but if your children are very young, It is convenient that they have already included all kinds of food in their diet. In some cases, the recipes may contain alcohol, keep in mind that it does not completely evaporate during cooking, a small part remains. Therefore, if you want to completely avoid the use of alcohol for cooking, you can either replace it in most cases with water or broth, or you can directly replace the recipe with another.
We also suggest you include seasonal foods on the menu, so we can eat well while spending less and in a more sustainable way. Among the April vegetables that we have included in the menu are the following recipes:
- CHARD: chard omelette with ham; Swiss chard with potatoes;
- SPINACH: spinach, ham and cheese omelette; Spinach Quiche; spinach salad;
- ARTICHOKE: Artichokes with ham; Artichokes Cream; Stuffed artichokes; Roman style artichokes;
- CELERY: Waldorf salad; celery salad with egg and potato
- ASPARAGUS: asparagus with ham; asparagus cream; asparagus in filo pastry;
- AVOCADO: stuffed avocado; avocado salad;
- PEAS: Pea cream; peas with ham; Vegetable Pie; flamenco style eggs; hake in green sauce;
- CARROT: carrot croquettes; carrot cream;
We always prepare our menu taking into account the nutrition pyramid which suggests these recommended weekly servings of each type of food:
- Fish 3-4 servings per week
- Meat 2-3 servings per week (1 single serving of red meat)
- Legumes 2-3 weekly servings
- Carbohydrates 1-2 daily servings, depending on the level of energy consumption (pasta, rice, potatoes, bread and other cereals)
- Vegetables 2 daily servings
- Fruit 3 or more daily servings
- Dairy 2 to 4 daily servings
That is why we suggest that if you want to modify the menu to adapt it to your tastes, you do so by replacing the dishes with another with similar nutritional characteristics: fish for fish, legumes for legumes, etc.
