I like to think I’m pretty organized…but I NEVER thought I could prep 10 meals in an hour!
Until I did – and the sense of accomplishment and time I got back each day – made it so worth it. As I did it the first time, I realized that there are some tips that can help keep you on track and get the job done even faster. I also had a disaster that I’d like to warn you about!
Do you ever run out of ideas and just get tired of doing the same thing all the time? I was stuck in a cooking rut.
One of my friends started using a meal prep service and I thought it was super convenient, but we can’t afford that.

2. Adding a little insurance to your recipe with mayo (or sour cream or yogurt).
