Anyone else meal prep on Sundays with their kids?

Started doing this a few months ago and it's been a game changer. We pick a few recipes Thursday night, shop Saturday, then Sunday I let the kids help me prep everything. My 8yo is on vegetable duty, 5yo does the mixing, and I handle the actual cooking. Takes like 4 hours total but then we have dinners ready all week and the kids actually eat the stuff because they helped make it. Plus they're learning some kitchen skills. Anyone else do this?

Game changer is right. My fridge went from being full of random stuff to actually having a plan. And honestly it's a nice Sunday thing to do together instead of screen time.

This is such a good idea. Do you find the kids are more into trying the food since they had a hand in making it? That's been our game changer with the picky eaters.

We started doing this too and it's crazy how much it helps during the week. Wednesday rolls around and you're not staring at the fridge wondering what to cook. Plus the kids actually helped make it so they're more likely to eat it.
