Good morning FSF 💙 Meal prep is probably one of the hardest things for me to do. But I am DETERMINED to get better at it, for my budget's sake and my proactive peace of mind. Here's just some ideas...of course, everyone's dietary regimen looks different. It snowed here in the PNW yesterday and the forecast calls for more this week. Just a dusting really, but the overnight temps are in the teens. How unfortunate that this cold snap came just when my bare root tree starts arrived from the Arbor Day Foundation 😨 That really throws a monkey 🔧 into things! 😂 Hope your day is blessed, successful & safe 💙🤗🌞

I truly need to go shopping Crystal! Will get most of the stuff that’s there on your pics!
Going tonight for sure, I’m a milk attic and I’m out.😩

Seems like I end up shopping every other day! That's why I need to PLAN better🤦♀️

But berries only last a couple of days....sheesh!

Several of the berries freeze really well individually on a cookie sheet, then bagged. If you put them out of the freezer into meal same day, they're ready to eat at lunch.

I go to grocery store more than my wife, but it gets me out of the house lol.

@SLYONE...thanks! I barely have room to close my freezer drawer, but I could MAYBE squeeze in a cookie sheet 😂

@wldwds...I hear ya!! It's one of my few social opportunities! I love my hubby to pieces, but it's good to interact with other humans too😂 1 reason I enjoy my time on FS, FB & Letty's Zoom classes. Heck...I'm even excited to have a Zoom session with my Dr!! 🤣

I guess I'm really bad at meal preparation because my taste buds are different each day.

Meal prepping is such a challenge for me- I find myself running to the grocery store a lot. Just did a bulk meat purchase at a country farm market, so will try to cut weekly shopping to staples, salad, & stuff on sale

I have the best intentions meal prepping, but I have to eat something different each day or I’m depressed. I love food! I plan out dinners for every night and make extra so I have lunches. I also don’t combine everything. This week I steamed broccoli and made pasta. They could go together with chicken and a white sauce or meatballs or broccoli in a stir fry. Seems to work better for my. Great post! Helpful tips to make a balanced meal

You are exactly right, meal prep is not easy, but it comes with time until it becomes so natural that you open the fridge and or your pantry you take a quick glance and boom you know what you are preparing with not more that what you have at the moment quick and easy, stay at it it took me two years of eating food that I prepared and didn’t like haha

@buenita...ya know, that might very well be why it's so hard for me too. I make a plan, but then it just doesn't sound good to me when the time comes!🤷♀️😛

@REM...I try that too (weekly shopping) but I usually run out of the fresh produce before the week is up. We'll figure it out, right?! 😉👍
