How often do you cook? Have the same few things in rotation? Cook for anyone else too? Prep multiple days at a time or cook every day? I personally work a weird schedule so I prep food 5 days at a time. Also only eat one big meal a day. That could be anything in my dozenish meals rotation. I prep for my girlfriend too but shes simple. For her I cut up some vegetables (bell peppers, cauliflower, celery and carrots usually) then cook up a couple pounds of seasoned meat (chicken breast or 90/10 ground beef). What about you?
Currently living alone, so pretty much any meal I cook will have leftovers so there isn’t a need to meal prep for a lengthy time period. Instead I plan on mixing an matching leftovers. There are some things I do prep ahead of time to use for multiple things like shredding a block of cheese to use on nachos, eggs, or whatever. Hard boiled eggs, bacon, lettuce for sandwiches or wraps, all of the individual ingredients are what I prep ahead of time for use with other things. If I make spaghetti I set some noodles aside to make breakfast spaghetti or buttered noodles, or something else.
Today I made beanie weenies because that was a camping staple and never gets old for me. I’ll have three portions left over so I will have some as a side with roast chicken or some other protein, some as a primary part of a meal and some fruit or something on the side, and maybe some for a snack or if I’m in a rush.
So I don’t do meal prep like have ready to heat up servings but instead I mainly prep thinks to make stuff out of and plan around that.
