Meal Prep Sunday

Meal Prep

Failing to prepare…is preparing to fail!! Meal Prep Sunday!! 🙂

Preparing meals for the week…breakfast, snack, lunch, and more snacks hehe…leaves little room for bad choices. If you don’t have something already made and you’re really hungry…you’re going to reach for the bad, quick choices like potato chips and cookies, all the junk that is so bad for you. If you are busy during the week, don’t get home in time to cook dinners, I recommend prepping dinners as well. It can take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on how much you are cooking but it will save you triple the amount of time during the week.

It is so much easier planning out my meals for the week and prepping all the food. I don’t prep dinners because I am home so I can make those daily. During the day it is so hectic for me so it is easier to open the fridge, heat, and eat! Makes it simple when I already have 1000 other things going on! 🙂

I normally do all meats and veggies. I can clean fruits along the way and they are easier to grab. This week is chicken and flank steak with a mix of veggies. All is seasoned with 21 Day Fix all purpose seasoning (Seasoning Recipe). I will add quinoa and brown rice for my yellow containers (21 Day Fix), eggs and Ezekiel bread for breakfast.

Before you prepare your meals, I recommend you get rid of any “bad choices” from your pantry and house. This will force you to eat the good choices and items you have already purchased. This also might enforce meal prepping! 🙂

Do you meal prep? If so, what kind of meals?

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! My name is KarenAnne Taggett. I am from a small town in Michigan called Lawton. I grew up there most of my life until I married my high school sweetheart Rich. He is in the U.S. Army and we have lived in North Carolina and Tennessee. We are currently stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.  Parker, our oldest son, who just turned 6 in May. How time flies! It seems like just yesterday he was born.  I absolutely adore him and I think he knows it! ;)  I love watching him grow more and more each and every day. He is a big first grader this year and while school can be challenging he is making the most of it and rocking it! Grayson, our angel baby, was born sleeping on January 1, 2016 at 35 weeks and 5 days due to hyper-coiled umbilical cord. We miss him every single day but we feel him around us always, in the wind, sunshine, and all the pennies he leaves us. He will always be our baby boy. Sullivan, our youngest, who just turned 1. He is our rainbow baby . I got pregnant with him a month after we lost Grayson. We were not expecting that but I think his brother Grayson sure knew what he was doing when he sent him to us. He is the sweetest boy and always so happy. He is our sunshine and then some! We have one dog, a white Boxer named Love. She is such a love bug, hence her name. She just turned 9 in July. She's my only daughter and keeps me company in this full house of boys. She is very spoiled and I can't imagine my life without her. I am an easy going person and down to earth! I call myself a genuine country girl! I love being a mom and an Army wife. I love spending time with my husband when time allows but we love being together as a family. We LOVE being outside and doing things around the house. We go to the parks a lot with our sons and dog. Anything to keep us outside, we love! I'm on a mission to find what I want to be when I grow up. I thought it was a teacher, and now that I'm 99% done with my bachelors in elementary education, I don't feel that is where my heart is anymore. I'm also juggling mom life, military life, and being a stay at home mom. I know I have a calling or a purpose or what I'm supposed to do when I grow up, I just haven't figured that out yet. I'm so glad you have taken the time to check out my blog! I hope you follow my journey, have some laughs, and join the silliness!
