I never meal prep or batch cook but yesterday I gave it a shot. It was spread throughout the day but by the end I was wiped!
Here is what I made but I still don't feel like it's helped me out enough! Sandwiches aren't great for my LO as she is fussy with veg atm so I prefer to sneak it in hence the sauces and soups.
Soup for a few lunches which we will eat with some bread and butter.
Vegetable sauce to serve with pasta or gnocci and cheese.
I also made a rice and black bean dish for DP for the week. He doesn't expect me to make him lunches and I never normally do. I guess I am trying to feed all of us!
After breakfast and dinner which was mash with spring chicken I don't feel like I have got very far at all.
I still have to make dinner every night. I can use some of the veg sauce for one but still.
I kind of think maybe it is easier to continue to serve eggs with veg and bagel or bread for lunch and spend 45 mins feeding DD /bribing DD etc. And then make dinner but at least I am not cooking as much.
So my question is how much do you prep? How far does it go? Was it harder at first but you have got used to it? And are there any appliances you use to help?
I recently bought the latest Ninja blender which blends, chops etc. and is just amazing which does help.
Thank you
