Hey everyone — please respond to share your food prepping tips & ideas. What’s on the menu this week? Don't hesitate to ask for recipes or advice for prepping, too!

...and here's a link to a free printable meal planner template ...

enlightenme3 shares ... "I've been using an app/website called CopyMeThat (https://copymethat.com/) that will do meal planning, shopping list creation, recipe curation/scaling, etc. It's free, but since I use it everyday, I went ahead and bought the lifetime premium version and gifted to my children as well.

Besides curating all the recipes I find on the internet (as well as some self-created ones), I often use it to type in an ingredient I need to use, plan a dinner menu (it also links to my calendar so I can see what I have planned for each day without going to the app), and create shopping lists based on the menu.

There is a community component, but just recipes - not discussions - of what others have saved to their recipe boxes.

    @DarkNightBrightDays i bought us supermarket single pot trifle each so we don’t have to eat it over and over to use it up.

    @ngarrett479 That is a tasty menu you put together! Enjoy your prepped meals. Meal prepping makes busy days go SO MUCH more smoothly. I also learned that I can eat any food for any meal, I no longer have specific "breakfast" foods vs. "dinner" foods etc. Much easier :)
