The Cook Once, Eat Twice Method
The Cook Once, Eat Twice Method is the MOST efficient way to get hectic weeknight dinners on the table.
What Is the Cook Once, Eat Twice method?
The cook once, eat twice method allows us to spend less time slaving over the stove, and more time doing things you love (or running the kids around!).
It can be super easy to fall into the habit of takeout or frozen pizzas. I know because I was there. We lived on Chipotle takeout and pizza for a while, and then I realized that something had to change. But the time I had in each day wasn’t going to change.
So I shifted how I approached weeknight dinners and learned how valuable the cook once, eat twice method is. I’ll never go back!
What Families Have to Say:
I love the way the cook once, eat twice method shows how you can create two totally different meals using one base recipe. And that second meal comes together so quick!! I appreciate that it doesn’t feel like I’m simply eating leftovers but rather creating a new meal even though it’s super quick! – Andrea
