    That´s a good idea. Please check the kitchen/cooking thread first. You may find from there some useful ideas.

    We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

    Walaikum Asalaam,

    The freezer is your best friend. You can prepare many things ahead of time and freeze them. It really depends on what your family eats, but virtually anything can be frozen and cooked later on such as homemade pizza crusts or dough, samosas, eggrolls, soups, pastas/lasagna, sauces, chopped vegetables, etc.

    If you use a certain ingredient in your cooking often, like onions for example, you can chop up a whole batch and keep it in a container in your fridge. Use some of it everyday as you make your meals.

    For suhoor you can have boiled eggs, sandwiches, overnight oatmeal or leftovers in the fridge. Anything which is slow digesting helps give you energy through out the day.

    salaam
    Asalaamaualaykum:

    PLAN A
    ******

    1. Draw a topographical map of you house.
    2. Plot a dotted line from his seating place to the Cooker/ Fridge/ Freezer
    3. Continue the dotted line from Cooker/Fridge/ Freezer back to seating place.
    4. Extend the dotted line from the seating place to the Sink or Dishwasher.
    5. Fold map neatly and address it to husband with big bold print with "Ramadaan Mubarak" on top of Envelope.

    PLAN B (Resort to this when you suddenly figure out he can't for the first time in his life read a map)
    ************************************************** ******************************

    1. Know what you CAN and CAN'T cook/bake. (Understand very well you are NOT Nigella Lawson)
    2. Prepare a Calendar and sketch out your meals per a day. (Do not put too much faith in this, it normally only lasts 2 days)
    3. Do not over prepare - That Fridge & Freezer can becomes a solitary confinement for food and trust me it never gets re-eaten.

    4. Keep a tea strainer so you can filter out your used oil and re-use.
    5. Freshly cooked food just enough for the family is way better than over cooking and freezing.
    6. When you reviewing point number 2 : Don't feel like a failure, just think of yourself as adaptive and a creative thinker.

    7. Keep fruit on the table. Eat your fruit before a meal instead of After.
    8. Water on the table : Avoid sugar drinks as this will create a unnatural spike in energy levels.

    If your husband wants to lose weight by diet measures, contact Sister @*charisma* as she has been on many failed diets and is basically an expert on the matter. She always welcomes the topic and never gets fed up - pardon the pun.

    Wasalaam.

    Oh yes, I love talking about fitness and food!!! Either way you're bodybuilding, amiright?

    I'll let you know in a year or so if I end up cooking for the masses or training them.

    Good Ramadan tips btw! You must be one of those types of people who can't eat leftovers. tsk tsk tsk.

    @Lgrant

    If you're only cooking for you and your husband, you probably won't need to cook anything out of the ordinary or even need to prepare too much. Just eat what you'd usually eat. You actually may eat even less as people tend to get more full during ramadan than usual. Preparation is more for those who are cooking for larger families or guests.

    Re: Ramadan cooking prep

    Some interesting posts to this thread. Thanks for replying.
    I still think its nice to be prepared even though its just two us for now @charisma
    It always helps to have a plan for anything and not just wing it and end up wasting time. If I plan out my meals and cooking times then I can make sure I have maximum time left for worship in Ramadan. in sha Allah
