Think about the average time it takes you to decide what to eat, then calculate the time it takes to go to the market, find the right ingredients, travel home, gather all the pots, pans, plates. Now that your finally ready to cook a cold meal could take no longer than 5 minutes while a cooked meal could take 20 minutes to 2 hours! Managing your time through meal prepping can benefit the whole family! No longer worry about leaving work early to prepare dinner. Prepare your dinners in oven/microwave safe containers, toss in the fridge or freezer (depending on when your planning to cook it) pull out and cook when your ready! Make your favorite meals, snacks, and beverages, heat and eat as you go! Use the food slice and dicer for fast meal prepping!

5. Reducing Stress: Stressing over food can lead to many negatives including health issues, rapid weight gain, anorexia, decreased appetite. Why stop eating over stress? We love food! So why not love eating it? Stressing over what to cook, how long it will take to prepare, it can discourage cooking.
