Preparing a week’s worth of meals on the weekends ensures that you have a steady supply of nutritious offerings.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends:

• Grocery shopping on Saturdays, and cooking food for the week on Sundays. Most food will stay safe three-to-four days in the refrigerator.
• Divide cooked food into portions, store in small containers and immediately refrigerate.
• Don’t leave food on the counter to cool.
• Reheat only the portion for that night’s meal, rather than the whole dish.
• You can’t always see, smell or taste spoiled food. If you’re not sure if it’s safe to eat, throw it out.
