Anyone else meal prep on Sundays?

2w ago1 min read

Started doing big cooking sessions on Sunday mornings to meal prep for the week. My kids help out and we've turned it into this whole thing. We put on music, my wife handles proteins, I do veggies, and the kids are in charge of containers and labeling. Saves time during the week and honestly it's kind of fun. Plus my kids are learning that cooking doesn't have to be complicated. If you haven't tried it might be worth a shot.

Sunday mornings are perfect for this. I've been doing something similar and it's actually saved us money and time all week. Plus the kids feel invested when they helped make it.

Meal prepping on Sundays is the only thing keeping me sane during the week. My kids help too and we throw on music and make it fun. Crockpot meals are our other lifesaver.

Sunday cooking sessions with the kids is the move. Gets them involved in what they're eating and honestly it's way less chaotic than winging meals every night.

This is genius. We started doing the same thing and it's actually cut down on weekday stress so much. Plus my kids feel like they're really helping out.

Love this approach. We do Sunday meal prep too and turning it into a family activity makes the whole week easier. Music makes it even better.

I need to try this. Between work and getting home late, dinners have been rough. Did you start with simple stuff or jump into real recipes?

We do this every Sunday now and it's a game changer for the weeknight craziness. Plus the kids feel like they're contributing something real instead of just watching screens.

Do your kids actually eat the meals you prep or do they still want their usual stuff? Mine prep with me but then at dinner they're like I don't want that.

This is brilliant. I've been wanting to get into meal prep but never thought about making it a family thing. Do your kids actually eat the stuff you prep or do they just enjoy the cooking part?
