My Sunday ritual has become meal prep. The busier life gets, the more essential this has become. Prepping some of our food for the week allows me to have a healthy, stress-free week when it comes to meal planning. I don't prep everything, but the most of the essentials. That way when I do have to cook, I only have to prepare one or two side dishes. I try to make it healthy as much as possible! This prepped food usually lasts until Wednesday or Thursday. and then I cook something light the rest of the week, I could prepare for the whole week but by Thursday me and my husband usually ready for something fresh and new.
