Tips & Tricks for Sunday Meal Prep

Image
Since it’s Monday and the start of a new week, I thought it was the perfect time to share my top tips and tricks for Sunday meal prep. I hope you find them beneficial to your next prep day! A huge thank you to Blue Apron for sponsoring this post!  As you guys probably remember, I’m ALL about Sunday meal prep as a way to ensure that our family eats healthy at home. I’ve found that spending an hour or two on the weekend preparing food makes it so much easier to throw together quick meals during the week. And if nutritious food is prepped and ready to go, we don’t have an excuse to order take-out or eat cereal for dinner (not that there’s anything wrong with that every once in awhile).

For instance, when I’m starving and faced with what to eat, knowing that I have a number of nutritious options in my fridge helps me stick to my h

Hi, guys! It’s Sunday afternoon. Qman is still napping, and I’m waiting for Mal to come home after being away since Friday morning. Quinn, Murphy, and I had a nice weekend together, but, once again, it was a mix of highs and lows for us. With that in mind, a  High Low High  post seemed like the perfect way to recap. If you’re unfamiliar with this blog post series, I recap the high and low points of the weekend. Ok, here we go! HIGH : Celebrating “Donut Friday” with a treat from The Coffee Shack. Qman and I shared a honey dip donut. Mmm! 🙂 LOW : Breaking out in a rash all over my body . *sigh* I assume it’s from the antibiotics that I was taking for my knee . When I was a kid, I had a reaction (rash) to penicillin, so I’ve avoided it since then. I told this to the doctor at Urgency Care, so she prescribed a different antibiotic, but I guess I’m allergic to that one too. Ugh. I really wish my body would get it together. (FYI: I contacted the on-call doctor at MGH, and she tol
