Meal prepping Sundays
As I've noted in a few posts, on Sundays, I prep all of our meals for the incoming week. I've been doing this for a few years now and it is one of the best decisions I've made. Not only does it save time during the week but it also keeps me a bit more accountable about what I put into my body. I recall dreading coming home from a workout at the gym and a long day from work and then having to prepare a meal for dinner. Although some nights I would just forego the whole preparing of dinner and announce that cereal and milk was dinner that night. But honestly, there's only so many nights that one can rely on cereal and milk for real sustenance.
I plan out our weekly meals months in advance. I'm actually embarrassed to admit this but I have our meals planned out for the next 26 weeks, if more. I do switch up meals if Sean has a request for a particular meal that he is in the mood for that week. Basically, our meals aren't set in stone until I go grocery shopping which is every Tuesday.
I must say that Pinterest has been great in making meal prepping a much simpler process. It also has been an amazing source for me since I enjoy trying out new recipes at least once to twice per month.
