Anyone else do this? I want to get a system going where I prep meals for the week so weeknight dinners are less stressful. Thinking rotisserie chickens, rice, roasted veggies, stuff like that. What meals do you guys prep that work with picky eaters?
I've been thinking about doing this too because weeknight stress is real. The rotisserie chicken angle is smart, way easier than cooking from scratch every night.
I do this every Sunday with one kid and it's been a lifesaver. Cuts down so much stress during the week. I usually do a couple proteins, some roasted veggies, and rice or pasta. Then it's just mix and match for the week. Takes me about 2 hours total.
This works great until you get tired of eating the same thing by Wednesday. Maybe prep the components separately and let people build their own meals?
Meal prep is the move. With four kids here I have to do it or we're eating cereal for dinner. Pro tip: invest in good containers. The cheap ones get gross after a few weeks.
to join the conversation.
Meal prep on Sunday is clutch if you can stick to it. Rotisserie chicken is the way, shred it and you've got protein ready for a bunch of different meals.
