Как организовать приготовление еды на неделю для мамы: советы
Sundays (Or Mondays) are meal prep days for the busy week ahead. I usually focus mainly on the protein. So it is versatile throughout the week. Anyone else meal prep or stick to the cook as you go daily?
This week I picked up ground beef & chicken tender to use in several meals. I also have dark kidney beans and pinto beans since I myself do not go heavy on animal protein as much. Tum tum issues.

I crave the organization of monthly meal plan with thoughtful grocery lists but thrive on pretending to be on an episode fusion of 30 minute meals and guys grocery games.
I understand. 🙃☺️☺️ If I do not live on a plan/budget then shite will get pretty crazy.
Me in my twenties was a mess😅
@icebergahead, My ability to organize myself has declined in relationship to how many kids I have and unfortunately I’m a really good cook so the 30 minute meals is a great dopamine hit with lots of positive reinforcement.
Also sensory idiosyncrasies and food hang ups from the kids & husband constantly trip me up.
I’ve thrown my hands up over the whole thing.
@caffeinequeen., omfg it’s great. It’s a digital picture frame too. Keep in mind you do have to pay for some extra stuff monthly or yearly but it’s so freaking worth it.
Ooohh, street corn chicken? I’m gonna need to look this up. 😂
@llamapantaloons, it’s a new slow cooker recipe so I’ll update you!
I meal prep the proteins for my husband and I lunches. I have a loose dinner plan in my head and pull out meats to defrost accordingly. Usually I go shopping Monday or Tuesday and get the fresh fruits and veggies for the week to round out the meals.
I make a weekly meal plan and then we have the usual snacks.
I make the kids a snack container to go. This week it was yogurt and m&ms.
Next week it'll be peanut and cheese cubes.
And they always have their halo oranges to eat as they please.
I'm still trying to find a vegetable they are all willing to snack on.
One week we did "dunk a roos"
They eat breakfast and lunch at school so I only buy breakfast things for the weekends.
This week menu is
Monday- kielbasa, potatoes and green beans
Tuesday - steak fajitas , quesadillas for kids
Wednesday- wings and fries
Thursday - Mississippi pot roast, green beans and potatoes.. and maybe smashed potatoes
Friday-pizza
Saturday &Sunday - help yourself/left overs
I do cook a big breakfast every other Sunday. Alternating with cinnamon rolls or frozen waffles. Something easy
I plan for the week, then build my grocery list. Sundays I will do some prep as in chop veggies, mix spice blends, etc for the meals that I planned. Plus hard boil all my eggs for breakfast and portion out some high protein snacks to bring to work. Makes my life soooo much easier during the work week.
I try to make a big meal on Sundays that can have leftover to be used for lunches for at least Monday for my husband and myself. Today I’m doing a slow cooker chicken and white bean stew. New recipe. We’ll see how it turns out!
I make a plan for the week and then cook as the day comes. I wish I was organized enough to actually meal plan haha
Same here. I’m not even that great with meal planning for the whole week. 😅 But I’m working on it!
@llamapantaloons, I’ve gotten better after awhile it is exhausting though coming up with ideas 😅
@caffeinequeen., It really is! And of course when I ask my husband what he would like, he usually just gives me the “idk. Whatever.” And my son rarely eats what I make of course, so sometimes I’m just stuck wondering why I even bother. 😂
