Meal planning and prep was back in full force yesterday! It was a non-stop day: 11 mile run, grocery shopping, meal prep, laundry, cleaning, church, and out to dinner. It’s nice to get that stuff done on Saturday so hopefully today I will get all caught up on reading blogs!
I ended up doing ALOT more prep than I had planned, and was in the kitchen for about 3 hours. I decided to make an egg frittata out of the ingredients I usually put in with my eggs (lots of veggies and nitrate-free bacon). If they are good I’ll share the recipe! I also just chopped most of the veggies I’ll be using all week.
Top row from left to right: Black bean brownies, almond butter muffins, egg frittata, chicken, cookies
Bottom left box: cherries, bananas, grapes, blueberries, fried plantains
Bottom right box starting in top left: broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, kale, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, parsnips, asparagus, spaghetti squash, onion, cucumber, pepper
Whew! Just typing that out made me tired all over again! Hopefully it will save me a ton of time with week as well as less kitchen mess/cleanup! You can also see the meals I’m making this week on my Pinterest page.
What meals are you planning for this week?
What day of the week do you usually take care of errands/chores?
You just reminded me that I need to start using Pinterest! As always I am way impressed by your meal prep since I definitely lack in that skill and wind up winging it for dinner most nights. It’s gotten even worse since social media has taken over my life! Glad you had a productive Saturday!
I have so much fun using Pinterest for meal ideas! I wish I could just come up with dinner like that. I just get annoyed at the process of having to cut things up and spending a lot of time in the kitchen when I am hungry- its nice to have some stuff done so I don’t have to wait as long to eat:)
Wow, great food prep! I do my errands when i have time to get them done, lol. The little ones guide that!
Haha yes, well whatever works for getting the errands done! When I have a busy weekend that means that they get done whenever I have time during the week.
Wow- super productive day, way to go! I love how good it feels to get all caught up on meal prep plus getting in your long run. Thanks for linking up!
Thanks for hosting! I definitely feel like it starts my week out on the right foot:)
I love how organized you are! All the work will definitely pay off throughout the week. Errand day is usually Saturday.
Thanks for linking up 🙂
That is the hope- by putting the work in on the weekend it makes for an easier week when things are already stressful! I like getting errands done on Saturday too…especially if it means I can relax on Sunday!
your day has been WAY more productive than mine. I’ve just been “resting my legs” so I can do a long run hahaha
Ha well today has been the opposite of yesterday for me- I have barely moved from the couch all day:)
Wow! That’s a LOT of prep. 🙂 Way to go!! I like to do most of my errands on Saturdays, so I can relax and blog on Sundays. It doesn’t always work out that way, but it’s usually the plan.
Always love reading your meal preps … you are all over it! We have been jumping between college visits, so shopping and planning has been more challenging. But we always work off at least a ‘framework’ plan – guidelines of breakfasts and lunches and snacks, with a planned set of dinners that we can flex around everyone’s schedules …
That sounds like a good plan! It can be really tough to juggle with different schedules, so sometimes its best to just have meals that can be flexible!
As always, I’m so impressed by your meal prep! Great job and you give me ideas on what to cook!!
Thanks! I hope you found some good stuff to make!
