Monthly Food Bulk Prep With Me - April 2019 Back To Monthly Shopping!

 

Its April and its time to get back to my monthly food prep! I know I've said it so many times in the last few weeks, but I'm going to say it again .... I'm so excited to be monthly grocery shopping again! It free's up so much time out of my week for higher priority things such as quality time with my family of 4 :) Of coarse a big part of that is owed to doing some monthly food prep. That could be separating bulk meats for freezing, preparing pantry items or vegetables to freeze, and cooking multiple meals in bulk. By doing all of these things it saves a huge amount of time cooking, preparing and shopping everyday. For most days in teh week its a matter of only reheating the main meal item for dinner and serving with salad I already have prepared. This is great for me on school nights as it free's me up to help Joseph with homework, bath/shower the kids, prepare for the next days school/work etc and general time together. Before I would struggle to balance everything and would be having a heart attack until bedtime trying to do so much! Things are much more calmer now days :)

 

 

 

For Aprils bulk food prep day I had quiet a lot planned to prepare. However I knew I may not get it all done on this one day as I did have some things to do later in teh afternoon, so I did finish teh kieves and sausage rolls off a few days later :) This isn't too much of a bother as it still frees up my time on other nights during the month.

So I did prepare a few things you may have seen me do before, such as grating my zucchini and carrot for the freezer and the below cook ups (some recipes of which you can find on the VIP Lounge):
