Meal Prepping Tips (From My Kitchen to Yours)
I often hear from my clients that cooking from scratch is one thing… but preparing for it is the hardest part.
And honestly? I get it.
If this feels familiar — you start cooking, realize you’re missing half the ingredients, or you find veggies that went bad because they were hiding in the fridge for too long — you’re not alone.
This used to be me too.
Here’s the secret: with a little planning, you can prep for cooking ahead of time, buy only what you truly need, reduce waste, and save money.
🥕 My Favourite Meal Prep Tips
Choose simple recipes
Pick meals that don’t require hours of cooking. Keep it realistic, not overwhelming.
Plan your menu before shopping
A 5-minute plan saves you stress, food waste, and money.
Create a prep schedule
I prep twice a week:
• Sunday — big prep + cooking day
• Wednesday — light refresh (most things are already chopped or ready, so it’s quick)
Store your food properly
Use containers, jars, and clear boxes so you actually see what you have.
Stock your pantry
Always keep basics like beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, tuna, good spices — they save you on busy days.
If you want a calmer week, more organization, and less stress around food, try even one of these tips. Small steps make a big difference.
