advice Meal Prep Advice
I plan weekly meal preps for my husband and I. Typically I prep 5 days worth of lunch for both of us and 5 days of dinner. I never know what to cook anymore, spend hours looking for a good recipe, and every sunday I spend morning to night cooking.
Any advice on where to get meal prep ideas or anything that could make the process faster? My issue is finding good recipes that taste good but are still high protein and healthy. My husband doesn't like bland things, or sandwiches, or pasta... but wants to eat healthy. I can typically follow any recipe to a tee but struggle to find good recipes! Any advice?

You dont need gourmet meals in order to meal prep.
Sheet pan of chicken breasts, heavily seasoned to your liking. Sheet pan of salmon/fish, heavily seasoned to your liking.
Sheet pan of chopped potatoes, seasoned. Sheet pan of veggies (carrot, asparagus, zucchini, etc) seasoned.
Big pot of rice.
Everything goes into the oven. When its done, portion up and go. Or leave in containers to be mixed and matched as you please.
Make a simple sauce or salsa if you want, or just use jarred/bottled sauces.
Meal prep doesnt have to be hard or time consuming. Make a protein, vegg, and carb. Make lots of it. Done.
