How to weekly meal prep for the family

 

{If you are reading via email, click here to see my short little video!}

If you have been reading this blog for even a short time you will know that each weekend I undertake some meal prep to make the challenge of feeding the family and me during the week easier.

I started doing this many years ago and in the beginning I was making one sweet and one savoury item for the kids’ lunches. Over time this has evolved and I have created an efficient process that requires only a few hours in the kitchen from me across the weekend and I can meal prep the following:

  • a sweet treat for the kids’ lunch boxes
  • a savoury item for the kids’s lunch boxes
  • prepped veggies for the week
  • food for lunches for myself and my husband
  • made from scratch condiments

Each weekend I share some pics of what I make on the PWK Facebook page and over the years many other parents have joined along doing some meal prep and sharing what they have made. But many more families ask me questions each week – how do I choose what to make, how do I find time to make it, how do I store the food etc. Many also comment that they wished they did meal prep because they know it would make life easier during the week.

To help other families, I decided to document the process that I undertake each weekend into simple step by step instructions based of my years of practice and trial and error. The result of this project is my new Meal Prep Primer E-course!

Meal prepping isn’t rocket science but it is about habit formation. It is about planning what you are going to do and then executing on that plan. To set a new habit sometimes you just need a starting point, something to get you on the right track and this is where Meal Prep Primer can help.

Meal Prep Primer shows you how to plan effectively to spend time in the kitchen over the weekend and prep food that will make your week days easier:

  • Imagine being able to simply pick and pack from your pre-made items to make the kids’ lunch boxes.
  • Imagine being able to make a meal in minutes when you come in late after work or an after school activity using the food you prepped on the weekend.
  • Imagine eating a nutritious homemade lunch each day that you can simply reheat in a flash.

This can be a reality for you and it doesn’t have to take up all of your weekend.
