I think single mothers are heroes of the world. No, I think mothers are heroes of the world. Hang on...there are fathers out there as well...so yeah, single fathers are also heroes of the world. You know what? I think ALL PARENTS are heroes of the world!! They can save anything.
What is this all about? Well, I am talking about them just juggling everything there is to juggle on their plate and still not die from exhaustion.
Seriously, if you are not a parent, you don't know what I am talking about. On top of making sure the bank account is not empty, the letters are opened, the bills are paid and the dining table filled with food, there is also the consistent worry about whether we remembered to bring the kids for their vaccinations. God did not give us enough nerve cells to handle this, I swear.
If not nerve cells, then we should be given a few extra hours of time, at least.
That is why human beings like us need to explore tactics on how to make the most of our time without compromising the quality of our service....as business owners and as parents. (Yes, we are at the service of our kids until they are old enough to ask us to bugger off).
One of the things that parents ought to be concerned about is the health of our kids....or more accurately, what they put into their mouths, end up in their large intestines and sucked into their blood stream. Simple might be the way to go considering the limited time that we have and thank God for electricity and invention of electronical devices that helps us cook perfectly nutritious, healthy meals for our kids.
For example, we could always go for steaming the food instead of frying them in a bucket full of oil. When steaming, you are leveraging on the heat from steam and vapor which cooks the food perfectly. Not only does it take a shorter period of time but the food tends to be more tender. Another favorite method of mine would be to place them in an oven or grilling them – and the kids love it! That is because when you grill it, the taste is more profound. Trust me, there is less oil too and is really a healthier alternative to microwave dinners. Last I heard, microwave was invented for some war or something. Can't be healthy considering why it was invented.
And there is just one other thing that parents should consider using and that is the wonders of the crock pot....some of you may know it as a the slow cooker. It is pure magic, I am telling you! You stick the food in there, go to work and then a couple of hours later – there you have it....DINNER! Isn't it amazing?
Another amazing time-saving tactic that I have learned is to cook ahead of time and freezing stuff up. All you have to do is to pull it out of the freezer, add stuff to it if you like, and then heat it up.
In this modern world that we live in, you device ways to compensate for not being given more nerve cells to make the world go more smoothly.
