Meal prep is something I don't usually do, as I like to cook things as we eat them. However with everyone now working at all different times of the day and night my eldest daughter motivated me to start.
Today I am thankful for the opportunity to organise my freezer and kitchen cupboards in preparation for our change of routine. My daughter helped me as we worked towards filling the freezer with home cooked meals ready to take to work. I never knew cooking could be so tiring, but I am thankful that we all have the opportunity to eat better. Not only is it better food than possibly grabbing something on the run, but it is cheaper too.
Beautiful flower! There are only two of us home now so just cooking a regular recipe is cooking in bulk! But when my sons were home I did do that sometimes and it was very helpful on those busy days when there wasn't much time. Now I cook meals and freeze half for another week.
I love the colors, light, and details of this shot! Since we've been grocery shopping less frequently with the stay-at-home orders, I've been making bigger batches of some meals and freezing them. It really is handy.
wow - what a great detail shot of this flower. I always admire those organised enough to batch cook, on occasions that I have done bulk cooking (usually for lots of people rather than lots of meals) I know just how tiring it can be. I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Lovely photo, fave! I sort of of bulk cook, but it's more like I prepare 2-3 days ahead. Doing a whole week is exhausting for me because I have a small kitchen, practically no counter space and not that much freezer and fridge space. So I can definitely relate to feeling tired after doing it. I try to sit down while I chop veg or ask my hubby to bring me stuff so I'm not running around
@koalagardens@amyk@vesna0210 Thank you all for alerting me to the fact I made the TT. I never really take much notice, so it is a fabulous surprise :) Very excited :)
