What’s on the menu this week? How many days/meals do you prep? Do you prep for the whole week, partial?

I usually cook for 2-3 days, depending. So far I'm thinking of
tonight: baked cauliflour and onion parts with chicken, pearl couscous or small ellbow pasta, cherry tomatoes, spices, maybe feta
Later this week probably a pasta with tomato base and tuna or sardine.
Depending on the calories of the first I'm sorted for 4-5 days. I also still have one portion of a stew leftover in the freezer4 -
I only prep my lunches for the week, this week is sausage and lentil casserole with carrots, celery and sweet potato, nice and easy to microwave at uni!7
-
I lunch prep every week. This week, my boyfriend and I are ganging up and making 10 lunches of the same recipe: honey sriracha meatballs! We’re also making Asian stir fried veggies to go alongside.12

Ugh, I need to get a plan set for this week. We are trying to only eat out once a week, so it’s a lot to prep. I’ll have to commit to that tomorrow afternoon; I’ll try to remember to come back and post it afterwards!
This past week we did: Mexican mixed-bean skillet, ham and bean soup, spaghetti squash with sweet potato cream sauce, garlic-mushroom quinoa, parmesan chicken meatball pitas, and butternut squash wild rice pilaf.6 -
this week (all crock pot) - chicken thighs and sausage, herbed chicken, swiss steak, country pork loin.
all shopped for (only needed the meats) and prepped and frozen this morning.
also mashed potatoes are going in the crock pot and will portion them out into 2 or 3 servings (family size) to go with dinner this week....
never mind the fact I probably have 2 weeks of prepped dinners in the freezer. My husband says I act very 'food insecure'. LOL10 -
First thing I finished today are these banana chocolate chip oatmeal muffins i'm trying for the first time. They smell awesome. Can't wait to try them!!

My meal prep is basically just leftovers from the night before for lunch. I make dinner fresh nightly.11

Pork chops - 2 cooked ones each with rice and veggies.
Diced pork stir fry.
Diced steak for fried rice.
Steak with mashed potatoes I made yesterday.
Everything made, portioned, and frozen for easy meals.4 -
I tend to prep breakfast muffins and then some batches of stuff for lunches. Today was Bolognese.6

I work away from home 10 days at work 4 days at home. I also eat the same thing all the time so it is pretty simple. Most would say boring and not eat the same but I like it and it works for me.
On the Sunday start of my work shift I cook 16+ lbs of ground turkey and 12 cups (uncooked) quinoa. This is current as I am slow cutting/maintaining. When Bulking its 16+lbs of eye of round steaks and yams or potatoes. Easy as pie cook once every 10 days. At home I eat the same foods for all except dinner where I will cook everyday for the wife and I4 -
I only cook for myself so I make 3 4-serving recipes a week for lunch and dinner and eat them all week, leaving two lunch/dinners for restaurant meals. Breakfasts are just whatever I thought to buy. This week I'm making red lentil soup, cheddar corn chowder with bacon, and black bean taquitos with cilantro lime rice.8

Combo of lunches and dinners.... Grilled pork chops, white bean chicken chili, broccoli, green beans, brown rice, apple slices, plain Greek yogurt with blueberries, almond packs.5

I loved all these ideas! I usually cook a few days in advance and then freeze anything past that.
Mon-Wed: Mozzarella/Ham rollups, mashed cauliflower, and parmesan stuffed chicken
Thurs & Fri: we’ll see ;-)2 -
I always prep my work lunches for the week. Tend to keep a bank of various potioned soups in the freezer for this time of year. Made 5 portions of spicy sweet potato and black bean soup today. My lunch is a surprise every day as they are all in the same containers.8

I've made cottage pie, beef burgers, and sausage casserole this weekend. This doesn't mean I'm eating those this week though. I prep by making and portioning (and accurately logging) then freezing. Basically making my own ready meals for during the busy work week. I have stuff in there already I'll use this week.5

I cook enough for 4 days for my husband, our 2 year old and me.
Bfast- seasoned ground turkey, scrambled egg whites and hash browns. Topped with cheese and salsa after microwave.
Lunch- deconstructed cheese burger bowls 🙌🏻
Snacks- Dijon salmon w/ Parmesan asparagus or honey crisp apples with cheddar blocks
Dinner- Mediterranean style chicken w/ turmeric rice
I’m a snacker so I have fruit, cottage cheese and skinny pop popcorn on hand when I need to munch something
