I need to do more meal-prepping. I’ve been thinking of burritos or pasta.
There’s a delicious (and easy!) veggie pasta salad i did once that’s on my list.
What have you been doing lately?
Or just share your favorites!
Edit: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions! So many of these are getting added to my notes!
We cook big meals too, and eat them all week. But we have to change the meal every time. How can you eat the same chili every week? Don’t you get sick of it?
Again, we do this, we’re working on a pot roast right now. It’s pretty good, but it’s also day 3 or 4 and I’m already kind of sick of it. I can’t imagine cooking it again next week, and then again and again.
Do you ever mix it up?
Freeze portions. This way I only have to eat something a couple times, and I get ready-made stuff for a few days from now.
Almost everything freezes fine.
Great suggestion. Def do this if you need more variety.
95% of the time I eat the exact same breakfast every day which I think would bore most people.
Not a bad idea. We’ve frozen some stuff. But we’re bad about forgetting it’s there. Also we don’t have much freezer space, and our freezer is mostly full of a rotating supply of raw meats and such. We buy in bulk and freeze.
It takes a while for me to get sick of things, but yes, I def mix it up. Sometimes I’ll do burrito bowls, other times I’ll do “fried” rice (not much oil if any - mostly lean meat, rice, veggies, and spices). Sometimes I’ll do pasta with meat sauce. I go through phases for sure.
Ok that makes sense 👍
