Sunday Meal Prep

On By SaraIn Meal Prep1 Comment

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week’s meal prep! This week was a bit weird for me. While normally I enjoy meal prep and cooking in general, there are some days where it is just a chore. This Sunday was one of those days. Not only did it feel like a chore, but it felt like it took much longer than it actually did. I’m just thankful that it was a relatively small amount of cooking to be done, instead of one of my marathon days. I pushed my way through to the end and was very glad to be done.

At least the food was tasty, including a new recipe!  Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

Do you remember the first dish you cooked? I do. Up until I was around 20 yrs old, I couldn’t cook. I could make pasta, but that was pretty much it. Then one day, kinda homesick and missing my mom’s wonderful cooking, I decided to make her jambalaya. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking, but I went out, got all the ingredients, and got to cooking. It took forever! I was so slow at everything!  Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

Hey everyone! Welcome to another edition of Sunday Meal Prep! Relatively small prep this week, which was a nice break from the norm. A bit more pasta-intensive that you usually see from me, but that seemed to really fit the mood this week. What can I say, we love pasta!

So without further ado, here is this week’s meal prep! Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

My Fitness Journey – the Backstory and Where I’m at Now

This post is really hard for me….I’ve actually been planning on writing this for over a month but kept putting it off.

I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life. While I was pretty skinny as a kid, by the time I was in high school that had started to change. By the time I was 16 I was starting to really put on weight, enough so that it was asked more than once if I was pregnant.

However, it was really when I went to college that not only gained most of my weight, but kept it on for years. At my heaviest, I was around 250 lbs. I’m actually unsure if that is my heaviest, since I avoided scales as much as possible. Continue reading “My Fitness Journey – the Backstory and Where I’m at Now” →

Hey everyone and welcome back to another week of meal prepping! I may have gone a little crazy 😉 Boyfriend and I decided that we would budget a bit extra to build up our freezer “stash” of meals, so I had a few things extra planned for this week. Now, I want to remind everyone reading that meal prepping DOES NOT have to be this lengthy or involved. It can be as simple or complex as you would like it to be.

As always, I hope you enjoy this week’s meals!  Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week’s edition of Meal Prep! I didn’t have a whole lot to make this week, which was nice. Boyfriend and I decided to have an at-home date night with how much free time I had 🙂

Welcome back to another week of meal prep and recipes! I hope you all had a wonderful week!

This meal prep was both a lot of work and very satisfying. Boyfriend and I decided to splurge and stock up on a few things this payday for me to prep for the freezer, so it was a larger-than-normal amount of cooking.

Here is this week’s meal prep!  Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

Hey all, it’s time for this weeks Sunday Meal Prep! This one is a bit smaller than last week. I have found over time I tend to alternate between bigger, more time-intensive Sundays and much smaller, more basic Sundays. This is due to prepping a lot of meals and meal-componenets for the freezer on the larger Sundays.

Also, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have started posting each Meal Prep grouping one week after it was actually made. When I started this series, my intention was to post that same day’s group. However, I have come to realize that it was just too stressful for me to do it that way. The end result would most likely be a sub-par post, and I don’t particularly want to do that, for myself and for all of you!

So, without further delay, here is my Sunday Meal Prep from last weekend! Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →

Welcome back for another week of meal prep ideas and recipes! I took a break from meal prep last week, which felt kinda weird. The BF and I took some time off of work to celebrate our anniversary, so I decided to forgo meal prep for just daily cooking.

But I’m back! 🙂 So without further delay, here is all the delicious food! Continue reading “Sunday Meal Prep” →
