Not Reading the Entire Recipe
This has happened to me way more often than I’d like to admit. Here I am, looking for a delicious-sounding recipe online. Without a second thought, I start working on it as soon as I read the title.
Several minutes into my commitment, I notice that I’m actually missing some of the key ingredients and that I should have marinated the meat for several hours beforehand. One way to avoid this? Plan your meals ahead of time.
Even if you don’t have time to meal prep your ingredients, at least know what you plan on cooking every day of the week. That way, you’ll always stay on top of what ingredients you have and don’t have. What’s more, you’ll have plenty of time to prepare certain items in advance by marinating them!
