Meal-Prepping – The Key to Better Nutrition

If you work all day and hate coming home and cooking, take a few hours one day to make several meals for that week. Simply cook them and then freeze them so when you get home all you have to do is defrost your meals.

Meal planning helps you stay on a budget and ultimately save money. Take a little time at the beginning of each week to carefully plan what you and your family will eat that week. Meal planning lets you decide before going to the grocery store what healthy meals your family will eat during a given week.  Instead of throwing items into your cart on a whim, you only purchase the nutritious foods you plan to eat that week.

None of us wants to throw out perfectly good food, simply because it goes bad. When we prepare our food in advance, we know how much we will need.  If we have leftovers,  we can find a way to make it work into another meal or even a lunch.

"What should I make for dinner?" is a question you will never have to answer again if you take the time to plan in advance. By knowing what you are going to make each week, you take the guesswork out of dinner and reduce stress in your life.
