Started doing Sunday dinner prep about 6 months ago and now it's my favorite part of the week. Kids help, wife relaxes, I get to experiment with recipes. Last weekend did a three course meal for the first time. Never thought of myself as a cooking guy but this is legitimately enjoyable.
I love this. With co-parenting two kids, having a solid routine like Sunday dinners is what keeps me sane. It's not just about the food, it's about that consistent one-on-one time with them.
Sunday dinners are sacred in our house now. Started doing the same thing about a year ago and my kids actually look forward to it. Plus the leftovers carry us through Tuesday easy.
Man, I need to get into this. Right now our Sundays are chaos and takeout. How did you start, just picked a meal or did the kids help choose?
This is awesome. I do breakfast prep on weekends and it's become my zen time too. There's something about having a plan and the kitchen smelling amazing that just makes the week feel more manageable.
This is honestly one of the best things about being a dad that nobody tells you about. I started meal prepping on Sundays too and it's become my quiet time before the week gets crazy. What's your go-to meal?

What kind of meals are you doing? I've been wanting to get into a rhythm like this but keep falling back on the same rotation.
