Food Prep Ideas For The Week

Food prep in my household is very important. I do food prepping whether I am commuting to work or working from home. There are many benefits to food prepping. For instance, it saves time for meals and clean-up. You also gain a good sense of how much food your household goes through in a week, so you can better budget for groceries. When you food prep, you spend a few hours cooking but you are done for 4-5 days for the week with a variety of food choices.

I suggest making at least 4-6 larger quantities of food choices for most of the week. The reason I recommend at least 4 choices is to make sure you or your family has a few choices and do not get bored with the selection. So this includes the sides. I often make a casserole type dish as one of the meals.

These days as many of us are working from home but still have kids running around, meal prep is a life saver. You can give healthy, fulling meals to your family in between conference calls and working.

Casseroles – many casseroles are made with pasta, rice, potatoes and veggies. They are the all in one food meal. I make things like: chicken spaghetti casserole, broccoli rice casserole with chicken, lasagna, Shepard’s pie, Mexican casserole, chicken with rice, potato ranch casserole, stroganoff, etc.

Mexican Food – enchiladas, taco meat, tostadas, burritos, Mexican casseroles, carnitas and fajitas

Italian Food – spaghetti, lasagna, pasta dishes, manicotti, chicken Parmesan, chicken Marsala, meatballs

Chicken – bake a whole chicken or batches of chicken to make in other meals. I often bake large batches of chicken breasts. Then I use the chicken to make great salads, tacos, tostadas, sandwiches and alone. Baking a batch of chicken breasts is great to provide numerous choices to your family.

Crock Pot Recipes – I love crock pot recipes because you just prep, turn on the crock pot and go about your day. Things I like to make are: BBQ pulled pork, soups, chili, roasts, meat for French dip sandwiches, Swedish meatballs, stews, etc.
