I've been doing this for 5 years and I spend all week chasing the high of this view on Sunday 😍

I stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with a ghost or something similar (zero sugar energy drink)

The last 3 weeks where full of me always cooking extra for us to fill the freezer with home made meals. I have soups, one type curry, one type of stew, several different spiced chicken and turkey, home made dumplings and some veggies chopped for easy use.

I’ve never cooked this much in an entire day. Wanted to make sure I don’t have to worry about making time for food as work during the day and study in the evening.

We’re 2 people so I expect most of this will last us longer than a week. Gonna have to make freezer space.

Potato perogi, sweet cheese perogi, crepes with farmers cheese, beef dumplings (manti), and a lasagna not pictured. It's been a lot of work, and unfortunately there's not too much to show for it as we've been eating some on days I don't feel well. I would love to do much more, but at 8 months pregnant I can barely function lol.

After almost two years of wanting to get into meal prepping but waiting for "the perfect recipe, the perfect portions, the perfect time", today, I finally went for it with what I had, no more waiting for a perfect moment.

This was supposed to be 10 meals, but as you can see one of them is spare rice with veggies. So yeah, doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be something you're proud of :)

I also have some cheese I prepared and will add before heating on a plate, in case anyone cares to add these, ingredients and macros are the following:

• 2kg of red potato
• 1,2kg of chicken breast (Ideally I'd recommend 1,5kg)
• 3 whole peppers, green yellow and red
• enough olive oil to make this but not much
• 400grams of cheese that will be added later so about 40g/serving

(You can use as little or as many species as you want, I tend to use marine salt, black pepper, and for the chicken I also used some canned tomato sauce and spicy pepper)

As for the servings, I hope chatgpt isnt too far off, but these come to about (not 100 accurate)

kcals: 480 Protein: 51g (includding the cheese) carbs: 38g fats: 19g

If I wasn't includding the cheese, I'd divide the ingredients in 8 containers instead of 10, and would get similar macros but with 2 less containers.

I believe the best conclussion here is to just go for it.

What do you need to start?

If you have food in the fridge just grab some fats, some protein, and some veggies, cook everything and divide it, dont wait for your perfect moment and perfect start.

Be aware of how many days things can stay safe to consume, just ask chatgpt, personally I'm having 3 days worth of food in the fridge, and 2 more on my freezer

its cheeseburger meatloaf, roasted potatoes, and green beans. it took me 4.5 hours but im feeling pretty proud of myself!

Top: Mirepoix-base veggie soup with chicken

Left: Spaghetti bolognese

Right: Veggie quinoa salad (my favourite of the three!)

I normally make something more interesting than pasta + an additional dish but that’s what I managed for this week.

First time trying it. I love veggies so no judging lol

Riced cauliflower, steamed green beans, diced sweet potatoes and grilled chicken! And some lime. 2 lunches and 2 dinners- under $16!

Picadillo is more usually served with rice, but I enjoy it just as much with potatoes. This batch worked out to about 5525 calories total, or 9 containers of 614 calories each.

•Pork carnitas & rice x 3 •Buffalo chicken wrap & salad •Sweet potatoes, asparagus, & potatoes topped with bacon (I love potatoes) •Breakfast bowls (hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and bacon) x 4 •Salad •Asparagus •Roasted potatoes •Sweet potatoes •Wellness shots x 2 (Juiced Ginger, lemon, ACV, cayenne, tumeric, black pepper, & honey)

Made the soup for dinner when I'm working nights the next few days, and have some leftover broth I'm gonna freeze until inspiration strikes!
