However, cooking or preparing a meal may seem overwhelming when energy levels are low or when you’re not feeling well. Below are ideas for preparing food to fit ithin your lifestyle and nourish your body to feel it’s best.  \n\n| Plan Ahead | Organize meal ideas, recipes, and coupons into one central location for easier, healthy meal planning. Save past grocery lists and meal plans to further simplify meal planning. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Order Online | Many grocery stores and web-based retailers have the capabilities for online grocery shopping. Save time and energy by ordering online and having groceries delivered to your home or using a pick-up service at your local grocery store. |\n| Prep on Shopping Day | When you come home with groceries, prepare what you can ahead of time. Recruit family or a friend to help you cook grains, trim meat, or pack snacks. Package prepped food in clear containers, so you can easily seethe contents and place meal items together in the refrigerator. Another plus, fewer messes throughout the week! |\n| Choose Low-Effort Cooking Methods | Use kitchen tools such as a slow cooker, Instant Pot®, steamer, or a microwave to help minimize the burden of cooking. |\n\nFor more resources, [visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com](visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com)  \nprep ahead cooking tips  \nCrohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis  \n\n| Cook in the Morning | It may sound crazy, but if your schedule allows, cook in the morning when you may have more energy. Some foods, like pasta, rice, or baked potatoes, can easily be made in the morning while doing other morning activities (packing lunches, feeding the dog, eating breakfast, etc.) . |\n| --- | --- |\n| Seek Healthy Convenience Foods at the Grocery Store | Grocery stores are catering more and more to the convenience needs of their customers. Look for items like pre-chopped, fla e-friendly fruits and vegetables (melon, asparagus, summer squash), steamable side dishes, shredded rotisserie chicken, quick cooking pastas and grains, or easy to prepare, individually packaged frozen fish fil ts. Keep your eyes open because there are always new products arriving on grocery store shelves. |\n| Invest in Time Saving Tools | It’s hard to save time prepping ahead if you’re not using the right tools. Making an investment in a few basic tools will help you get the job done faster. Some key tools include a sharp kitchen knife, a good vegetable peeler, fl xible plastic cutting boards, sturdy tongs, and a non-stick skillet. If you’re really wanting to save time, include a food processor or stick blender in your arsenal of kitchen tools. |\n\nFor more resources, [visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com](visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com)  \nprep ahead cooking tips  \nCrohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis  \n\n| Cook Once, Eat Twice | Make meals do double duty. Cook larger batches of what you’re already planning on making and freeze half or portion out for lunches during the week. For example, cook several chicken breasts in the slow cooker, shred and use for a variety of meals, like chicken sandwiches, chicken salad, or chicken and rice soup. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Try Deliverable Meal Kits | If you want to take the guesswork out of dinner, try a meal kit delivery service. There are several options available, including some that specifi ally cater to those with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. |\n\nFor more resources, [visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com](visit meijerspecialtypharmacy.com)","cbCaid6cItxzbMIF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid6cItxzbMIF","pdf",80050,"English","# Prep Ahead Cooking Tips\n## Plan Ahead\n## Order Online\n## Prep on Shopping Day\n## Choose Low-Effort Cooking Methods\n## Cook in the Morning\n## Seek Healthy Convenience Foods at the Grocery Store\n## Invest in Time Saving Tools\n## Cook Once, Eat Twice\n## Try Deliverable Meal Kits","[{\"question\":\"How does prep-ahead cooking help with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis?\",\"answer\":\"It reduces the effort required when energy levels are low by organizing meals, preparing parts of food in advance, and simplifying cooking decisions.
