Beth says,ย โGroceries done, time to prep!โย
- โMeal plan โ done
- Shopping list โ done
- Taking two kids shopping against their will โ done!ย
Now itโs time to prep!! My total shopping came in under budget and included, heaps of fruit and yogurt for the kids andย two lots of extra mincemeat as it was on sale.
Iโm also making a double batch of all my snacks and freezing! So snacks done for next week too!โ
Beth says that the best time for her to meal prep is on Sundays, and says that she has achieved most of her meal prep plan.
The meal prep
Hard boiled eggs
Double Batchย One Potย Spaghetti
โI make a double batch of the meat. Take half out and freeze it. Then add the pasta and cook the rest โ normal for Sundayโs dinner. The rest of the meat we reheat and serve with pasta or rice on Wednesday as this is my late day at work.โ
