Step 5: Remember to take things out of the freezer. My biggest downfall is forgetting to take something out the night before so it can thaw. But I’m getting better.
On top of my planned and labeled meals, I always keep some ready to assemble meals frozen. Ground beef that I’ve already browned and seasoned with taco seasonings. Beef for stir-fry as well as a separate bag of sliced peppers and onions. Lots of bags of frozen broccoli, as it compliments any meal.
I have already prepared my January meals list. I am going to go shopping between Christmas and New Years and have everything ready to go for my kick-off to clean eating on January 1st. My husband is completely on board with this clean eating, and my kids are pretty good eaters for being so young. Having food on hand in the freezer is the biggest saving grace of the busy lives we all lead.
Still think I’m crazy? Try this for one week. Prep 5-6 dinners. See how much extra time you have and how calm your evenings can be. Just try it. You’ll love it.
