One thing I have done to help with our crazy life is meal prepping. I try and meal prep once a week and always keep in mind that schedules for us change a lot. Therefore, I don’t meal prep for a whole week, just a few days.
When I meal prep I fix enough that I can eat the first night after its made, refrigerate the second night, and freeze the third night. I also make enough for a few days for lunch for Paul and I.
I usually pick up a meat of some sort, potatoes (sweet and regular), corn, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, squash, and zucchini. I cook it all up the first night and divide into containers.
I will also make up a fruit salad using cantaloupe, black and blueberries, pineapple, peaches, apples, grapes, and strawberries. I split the bowl of fruit and freeze half.
You are more likely to eat what you’ ve spent time prepping and eating out less if it’s all prepped.
I have gotten bored quickly if I continue to make the same items.
So, do you have any other meal prep recipe ideas? Please share!
