I know Sunday is prep day for a lot of people. I'm almost finished with my basic prep for this week. I roasted a turkey and bagged the breast meat in 4 oz packages. I hard boiled a dozen eggs. I made a batch of Greek yogurt coleslaw and 3 quart jars of vegetable soup. Baby carrots, celery, cucumbers & spinach are prepped and ready for salads. What have you prepped for the coming week?
Peace,
Amy

    Sausage and eggs for breakfasts.
    Chicken and black beans for lunch or chili (still have some left in the freezer).
    Dinners are planned and portioned if needed.

    Basmati rice, veggie burgers, diced/sliced veg, yogurts, fruits, and a giant crock-pot full of lovely minestrone is simmering as we type. I've got some canned beans as well, so I'm set for the week!

    I'm a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda gal (extra points if you know the movie ^^). I've just made some overnight oatmeal because I'm a student and don't have a lot of time in the morning.

    I actually didn't prep this week and it's stressing me out :# I've been meal prepping my breakfast and lunch consistently for 9 months and this week I decided to buy lunch all week. I'm still bringing my breakfast, that usually consists of boiled eggs, yogurt, a piece of fruit.

    Shepherds Pie for the hubster's lunches, Spiced Lentil and Eggplant Bake for mine, ham and veg soup for freezer fodder and to get rid of the Christmas ham (will make a nice change if either of us get sick of lunches).

    2dz steamed (boiled) eggs
    12 servings of veggie frittata
    5lbs taco meat
    3lbs bacon
    4 1.5lb meat loafs
    3lbs loaded cauliflower mash
    6lbs chopped vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, onion, bell peppers, broccoli)
    1lb peanut butter keto fudge (1oz servings)
    1lb chocolate coconut fat bombs (keto Mounds balls)
    30lbs lamb, beef, pork, chicken, turkey (cut, bagged, seasoned, frozen)

    We did this yesterday. Saturday morning is our main prep day with Tuesday night for more veggies. This weekend was "meat prep" because we visited the butcher. This was a 2-hour prep. Most Saturday morning preps are less than an hour with 2 people working.

    Wow, I've just joined the prepping for the week party and from what I see I have a lot to do to even pretend to be a contender.

    For my first time I have only prepped for my veggie and fruit smoothie and a turkey burger for my lunch. I do have some turkey meat in the freezer so tomorrow I will simply pull it out and put together some veggies as an side for the rest of the week.

    I packed two days worth of lunches/snacks for work. Also grilled up a bunch of chicken for my dinners so all I have to do is throw together a side in the evening.

    We don't formally prep on Sunday, but do try to cook recipes on the weekend that give planned-overs for the week.

    Saturday dinner was home-made Pizza with enough leftovers for 6 lunch servings (to feed 2 tweens twice and 2 adults)
    Sunday was chicken stew with lots of veggies with enough leftovers for 2 adult lunch servings and 2 more servings for the freezer.

    I'm lazy. I have prepped nothing. This is a good reminder.

    I enjoy cooking most of my meals so I rarely "prep." I did, however, get ingredients on Saturday to make some amazing slow cooked meals.

    The only prep I have done is a lot of shopping and splitting up the meats before freezing. Busy weekend.

    I prep lunches for three of us right now so I just do five of each recipe and mix and match between us. This week it was:

    Sweet and sour meatballs over rice (hubs) or spaghetti squash (me)
    Meatballs with garlic wine sauce over rice or squash
    Sweet onion chicken breast, broccoli and rice or squash

    I've also prepped raw veggies, trail mix for him and dinners are planned but not made. I eat eggs everyday for breakfast so no planning needed for that one.

    Hmm, I don't typically prep food for the week but I did make a pot of venison stew yesterday and the leftovers will provide a couple of lunches this week.

    I don't really prep and kind of checking this out for future ideas. My husband and I luckily have schedules that allow us to meal prep and cook daily. But for us Sunday is grocery day and we plan out meals, for example 4-5 different breakfasts, lunches & dinners at least.

    This week will be heavy on the bananas, pears, cabbage and zucchini since they were among the only produce that looked great right now.

    Stir fry. Soup. Zucchini lasagna. Kung Pao chickpeas with chopped cabbage and onion.

    For a couple of our lunches this week we're doing these yummy wraps:

    large flour tortilla (1) spread with hummus, and then filled with
    shredded carrots
    shelled edamame
    cooked, rinsed black beans
    sliced avocado
    baby spinach
    shredded cabbage
    splash of lemon juice

    Came up with a meal plan for dinner to last me until next Saturday. Went grocery shopping for the week.

    This week's prep:
    Peeled and chopped my butternut squash. Half I roasted for my risotto tonight (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/barley-butternut-squash-shiitake-risotto)

    The other half I put in a container in the 'fridge to be eaten on Wednesday when I make this Moroccan inspired dish (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-butternut-tagine)

    Figured out what meat needs to be pulled from the freezer when, and put it on my calendar. Yep, if it's not on my calendar, I will forget.

    Cut up a pomegranate. Put the arils in a tupper in the 'fridge. To be eaten as a snack or yogurt topping as needed.

    That's about all I did for prep. Wednesday I will make a batch of quick pickles to go with my Korean style meatballs on Thursday. I may shred the cheese for my tacos at that time, too, since I'll have the food processor out.

    My "sunday prep" this week was egg muffins, a package of boneless skinless chicken thighs sliced up and sauteed, and a big casserole dish of roasted veggies (carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnips and beets).
