Meal Prep Madness/Sunday Funday

I spent $105 shopping, $25+ of savings from not buying lunches.

This week I officially start 40 hours at my job {YAY} and one thing I know for sure… Just because like will be at work from 8:30am-6:15pm 5 days a week, doesn’t mean I’m going to be sacrificing my meal plan,  and goals for something quick, easy, and crappy for me.  Hence, today I spent prepping lunches, and freezer to crockpot bags.

It took a little bit of pinterest recipe organization and searching,  but I broke it down by having 2 crockpots going simultaneously for dinner tonight, and lunches for the work week.

Honey Garlic Chicken For Dinner

Clean Eating Orange Chicken for lunches

Once that was prepped I started labeling my bags. Each had the instructions for what to do on the day of cooking.

8 bags total, 4 recipes with each of them doubled.

Then I went about the task of assembling each recipe. This was the most complicated and lengthy part of the whole experience. Thank goodness for my food processor, because I did a total of 10 pounds of sliced carrots alone.

So thankful once the last bag was completed.

All in all it took longer than I thought originally, but for that I have a solution. I will be making two less time consuming recipes next week, and two similar to the ones I did today. When I think about the amount of money I’ll be saving, this is so worth it. Not to mention the benefit to my family’s health.

These bad boys are being delivered this week. Getting organized for next week's prep.

All of the recipes I made are clean, and are family friendly.

I made:
》2 Bags Garden Veggie Soup w/ground Turkey
》2 Bags Chuck Roast w/Carrots
》2 Bags Chicken Fajitas
》2 Bags Mexican Veggie Soup
》Honey Garlic Chicken
》Orange Chicken
