Food Prep tips for people who work stupid hours

Yasmine91

Hey guys, Ok, I'm a waitress. I'm on my feet 9 hours a day from 12pm-9pm. I really need tips to learn how to food prep for an entire week. I work in a fish and chip shop so you can imagine how easy it has been for me to gain over 40lbs in just 3 years

What can I do?

Crock pot cooking is great. Spend 15 minutes tossing some meat and vegetables into it, let it simmer while you sleep, and wake up to a real meal that tastes and smells like you slaved over a hot stove all day.
