At the beginning of the week, I roast a ton of vegetables so I can use them for the next few days. I also plan out meals in advance.
When I get up in the morning, I have to decide what I'm going to have for dinner or I can't get through the day.
There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.
I try to plan our meals for the week on Sunday.
Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
As a working mother of a large family, preparing meals and shopping for groceries is time consuming and hard work.
For me, meal prep is about doing the work when you have the time, which is usually on the weekend.
It may seem counterintuitive to some people to take an entire morning or afternoon to prepare food for the week, but believe me, it's not. You'll even find that you eat much healthier when you've planned your meals ahead.
