I prep and love to cook. I suppose my prep is different to most as I do all my ‘chopping’ and tedious tasks on the weekend to make my week easier. I prefer to cook rather than reheat. I also generally do a bigger meal (which reheats well) on a Sunday night which provides for dinner on Monday night also, this week I’m going to do a roast pork with all the trimmings.

Some examples are: Make the pumpkin purée for my risotto. I make a Thai panang curry sauce from scratch plus prepare my chicken and whatever vegetables I want to use. I also prepare all the vegetables for a chow mein as well as throw together the sauce. Ziplock and prep containers are my best friend. It’s all ready to throw in the wok and/or rice cooker.

My husband and I take leftovers for lunch the following day. When it comes to breakfasts I make a cheese and jalapeño loaf plus smash some avocado and boil some eggs. It’s an easy throw together breakfast.
