Hi guys! Do any of you try to meal prep? We all know that meal prep is the answer to making sure that we stay on track with our eating and also on track with our budget. But, I’m just going to say it, not many of us want to devote hours to our weekend shopping, cooking and cleaning up the explosion that happens to the kitchen after meal prep. I’m going to start a series where I show you what’s on my menu for the week and how I go about prepping for it.
Here’s a secret about meal prep: It can be whatever you want it to be!
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Some people want all their meals prepped and ready to just reheat throughout the week. Some people want the building blocks assembled but are ok with doing some cooking at dinnertime.
My style is building blocks. I know that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays dinner needs to come together quickly because those are days I work. I want easy but fun dinners on the weekend, that feel exciting but are not too hard. I’m not planning to eat out much this week, save for a weekend lunch or beer out, and Sunday dinner will be a grab and go item from Costco.
Another thing to note- because of my shopping cycle, I will be doing a big shopping trip on Sunday so therefore am working hard at using up a lot of things in my fridge/freezer.
