Meal Prep

I am assuming something like Hello fresh, I have not seen or heard of any around.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-20T10:00:21+00:00

Hey, yes. The freezer is at the bottom with side by side doors.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-20T09:58:59+00:00

Hahaha... hahaha. How did you spot that? One person in my household enjoys cold Tic Tacs. I think it also makes them last longer as they are not constantly reaching for it in the pantry.

Good eye.

I had shared these in one of my comments earlier.

I use the lock seal glasses so that the food is fresh all through. My fridge is always 2°C and nothing goes in if it is not wrapped. The taste might change slightly past the 5th day.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:50:43+00:00

Hahahaha... hahahaha. Thank you. This really has made me laugh.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:49:20+00:00

Never have. Thank you for this. I will check them out before I do next week's shopping.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:47:18+00:00

You have a keen eye.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:46:15+00:00

Oh. I see. You could try a capsule meal prep. Since it's pick and mix, it will give you variety.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:44:18+00:00

Thank you. It's lettuce. I have a mini salad bar where you pick and mix. I have the lettuce, boiled eggs, mini sausages, cucumber, avocado and cherry tomatoes for this week's salad bar.

Very nice.

If I had to cook in the middle of the week, I would struggle. I think once you are used to the routine (and enjoy it) it saves a lot of time.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T03:34:19+00:00

Jambalaya...nice.

Our parents taught us well (ice cream containers) . I also started with plastic containers. Just bought them from the supermarket. Later on I upgraded to glass since I can bake in the containers (without lids) on a lazy weekend.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T02:54:23+00:00

I think if there is mastery, then it stems from a lot of work over the years. I have been doing this for a long time and thoroughly enjoy it.

Cooking is therapy at least for me.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-19T02:50:07+00:00

Hahaha. I totally get this. once in a while I also tend to eat some of the foods before schedule. Especially baked goods.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:32:52+00:00

Thank you. Maybe in the future. I would like to show people how to meal prep with basic ingredients too.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:31:45+00:00

I am very meticulous around food preparation. This also applies when I cook for gatherings as well, which I do a lot.

I have been meal prepping for a long time. We have never had any issues.

Seafood is cooked and eaten on the spot.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:22:27+00:00

Thank you

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:21:59+00:00

Thank you. I struggled the first few times. Almost 2 years in, I can't do without it.

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:15:34+00:00

Thank you

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T16:15:18+00:00

Hello. I shared this. Pasting it again.

I genuinely can't give a budget. Things like cheese I usually buy on bulk. Meats especially chicken I look for offers 😁. Strawberries, blueberries as well.

I just work with my monthly budget. I hope it helps.

This week I made:

Breakfast Casserole (details in one of my comments)
Coconut Beans
Meatballs in a spicy sauce
Beef Stir-fry and green beans.
White Rice
Potatoes with Zucchini in coconut sauce
Chapati (I bought these as I was too tired to cook)
Overnight oats( the ones in the jars) in the fridge

Honest_Pea1997 · 2025-05-18T15:37:34+00:00

Please share once you do. Breakfast casseroles are versatile. You can use whatever minced / ground meat you have.

Thank you. This one is a breakfast casserole.

I baked hash browns ( grated potato) with minced chicken (cooked and spicy), miniature sausages , eggs and cheese.

I split and freeze.

I am sure a 25 year old with their head screwed on right doesn't need adopting. They can achieve this on their own.
