Meal Prep!

[Lee-Bee]

Stupid question but why don't you work your suppers into your 9week rotation? Thaw the meal in the evening, eat and save enough for lunches the next day? Essentially making more of each meal so you have enough for supper?

I assume you have a good reason for not doing this but thought I'd ask in case you somehow didn't think of it!

Not as straight forward...as a family we have a combination of eating differences.

Son is vegetarian
Daughter is gluten free
I am entirely dairy free, refined sugar and gluten free

Way too complicated lol I like this idea because I can figure it out just for the four of us without placing those kinds of restrictions on the daycare kids too. They are egg free and one little guy is lactose intolerant so anything cheese is on the side or just not there and nobody misses it.

If I don't meal prep, I don't eat or I eat out, have take out and make myself very poorly. My kids are always well fed because I put them first. Don't ask why I sabotage myself, it isn't a rational reason so can't be rationalized. It's just ridiculous....I need to look after myself so I can do a better job of looking after people in my life but I can't just change when I've never done things any different. I like so many others was raised with the core belief that we shouldn't think of ourselves...that is selfish. How wrong is that!?! I do constantly try to though.....says I who has eaten out 3 times this week and it's only Thursday afternoon...yes I have issues!

Dinner tonight is already prepped thank goodness...scalloped Yukon golds and sweet potatoes to be roasted along with home made blackbean burgers and turkey cilantro burgers and steamed green trees and carrots.
