Who says managing your kitchen and family menu is impossible while being a working mom? With a little advance planning and lots of creativity, you can take charge of your kitchen and your family’s meals.

If you’re having an all-inclusive nutritious salad and you have young picky eaters, try to introduce a new fruit or veggie one at a time. Trying out a new taste could be exciting.
  5. Train your house help to be proactive. Teach them to make a list of things that have just run out and should be on your next shopping list. If not, you can designate a few minutes each week to (before your scheduled grocery) to sit down with your helper to find out what supplies are needed.
  6. Lastly, learn the basics of food storing and preparation. Get some tips from your mom or mom-in-law. Read some books and magazines. Just some good general advice:
    • Quickly use up the food stored in the fridge. Don’t depend on the listed maximum storage time for foods....
