✨Would you love to make eating healthy easier?✨

Before kids I never Batch Cooked. I mean, I had all the time in the world it seemed😂

When I was working in TV,  I would eat on set or at one of the restaurants I was featuring, so I didn’t even have to think about it.

After kids, my world was rocked on many levels & I knew I had to come up with a new plan to make eating healthier easier for me, or I could easily just pound the kids leftovers or their delicious quesadillas that always tempt me😋

Here’s what I do now when I have my s**t together:

⭐️Friday: Sit down & pick 1-3 recipes you want to eat for the week & make grocery list

⭐️Saturday: Get groceries (order or go to store)

⭐️Sunday: Batch Cook & Meal Prep

There are many different approaches when it comes to Batch Cooking.

1. Make 3 meals from a recipe, store & freeze some


2. Make 1 meal from a recipe and do non-recipe simple things you can mix & match for the week


3. Double everything you make and even do single servings for those who just want to grab a meal out of the fridge


The list goes on and on..BUT if you’re new to Batch Cooking, I would start small.

Start with one recipe to make on a Sunday and then 1 Protein, 1 Veg & 1 Grain.

Example:

✅Protein: Turkey Burgers, Hard Boiled Eggs, Crockpot Salsa Chicken or pull the meat off a store bought rotisserie chicken & store in fridge.

✅Grain: Brown Rice, Quinoa, or Farro

✅Veggies: Roasted sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower or broccoli. Pick one or do a few.

✨The goal is to cook once & eat twice, so soups, chili’s & casseroles make a great option for the main recipe you’d make on Sunday & then the other items you can get creative with.

✨Like quinoa, sweet pots & chicken can turn into a Mexican dish by adding salsa, black beans, cotija cheese & avocado or a Mediterranean dish by adding feta, parsley, olives & tahini. You can play around & experiment!!

💕This is just one of the many things I support you with in my Begin to Thrive 1:1 Coaching.
