“Real Life” Throw-Together Meals

Image
Hi, friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend! I heard a rumor that you guys want to see more “real life” meals – not necessarily pretty, curated ones, but ones that a regular person throws together. I mean, sometimes we just want to EAT, and it doesn’t need to be a whole production to cook an amazing meal and then plate it perfectly. Am I right? Let’s call them “real life” throw-together meals, shall we? 😉 I like to keep it simple with my meals, and I know a lot of you guys do too, so here’s a round-up of some recent “real life” meals I’ve eaten.

Basically, how to meal prep when you hate meal prep? I think a lot of us see those photos on Instagram of all the food laid out for the week – everything is all planned and organized. I’m definitely not knocking it because if it works for you, keep doing it! But for a lot of us, I just don’t think it’s realistic, time- and motivation-wise. And then, I don’t know about you, but I change my mind throughout the week… like, “I don’t really wanna to eat that” or I’m just bored with leftovers, and they just don’t taste good. Basically, there’s got to be another way! How to meal prep when you hate meal prep I’m going to talk about some of the things that I do that work for me – and, again, it comes down to ex
