The meal prep learning curve

We have learned a few things in our experience over the last few weeks in food prep.

1. These containers are wonderful for meal prep! We like the sections and they freeze well and heat up well. They also have a tight seal. While all of these are wonderful things, you need to be careful with them this one took a nasty fall out of the freezer and shattered on impact. :(

 

 2. The three meal options we shared with you on our last post are great for this they heat up well no problem, however one can only eat the same three meals over and over for so long.

3. The crockpot is our friend. It makes it go so much faster to just cook over night, put in containers in the morning and done. My issue now is finding more crockpot recipes.

 4. These mini apple pie muffins are amazing! However, they do not heat up well, so not a good plan for lunches :(

5. Skipping a meal prep Sunday is a bad idea! You will end up making sandwiches and going back to your old ways of going to the gas station and buying chips. It's just stressful not to have everything ready when you are trying to get out of the house in the morning. So you MUST make the time, it is for your own sanity no matter what more fun thing happens on the weekend. 

We have one new meal planned for the week ahead we will let you know how it goes.
