Food prepping

Since we have started prepping our food for the week, our lives have simplified!! It's so much easier than we expected. For some reason, I kept putting "food prepping" in the mission impossible category. It was always one of those things that seemed like a great idea to think about doing...but I never actually did it. Much like ALL of my boards & pins on Pinterest. Thankfully we finally gave it a shot and can't figure out why we waited so long to do this! 

 Today, I whipped up a couple meals for my hubby and I in 30 min flat! I try to do it when the baby is napping. Anyone with a toddler knows cooking with them in the kitchen is damn near impossible. 

I just buy the meat and vegetables, cook it (the grill makes cleanup super easy) and then package it up so we don't even have to do anything when it comes to packing our lunch for the work week. Our nights are much more enjoyable when we get cooking done beforehand! More time to talk and hang as a family! 

I know it doesn't look like much but there's over 5 cups of mixed vegetables, 5 chicken breasts and a steak! People always ask where we buy our food, not too many options 'round here, but we buy most of our vegetables at Sam's Club because that's the only place I can find that sells monster sized bags of green goodness! Most of our meat comes from Payless (natural & organic section only) or the farmers market. 

Try this for one week and see if it doesn't make your life easier...and healthier!
