Why Meal Prep?

We need to eat. Meal making is an essential topic of interest shared by most humans!

“Eat to live, don’t live to eat.”

Contrary to B.F’s advice, I often feel like all our time after work/school is living to eat. Here’s a synopsis of a typical evening.

5:15 thinking about what to have for supper, 5:45 going to the grocery store, 6:30 getting in the door, 6:45 making supper, 7:30 eating, 8:15 doing the dishes, 8:30 start getting the girls ready for bed. With this quote in mind, some could do meal prepping with pizzaz and some may do it with drudgery.

So, when do we go for that jog we’ve been wanting to; when do we go paddle boarding; or when do we watch the sunset? When do we go to the park and shoot hoops with the girls?

The goal:

My aim is to make meal prepping quite fun and to claim back some valuable time so we can eat well and have quality time doing what we love! <3
