My challenge this week is to try to pre-chop, pre-mix, etc all of my ingredients for my meals this week. Sports season has hit and that means my daughter comes home at different times each night - not a regular schedule at all. Some nights early, some very late.
Usually on softball nights, I tend to get lazy and eat out. I can't afford that and hopefully advance prep will make me less inclined to do that.

Re: Grocery Store Challenge Jan 15-21
Wow that was tiring! I just did the following:
Chopped all the veggies needed for my recipes this week
Boiled some eggs, then made egg salad with some and garden pea salad with the rest (for lunches this week)
Boiled some potatoes, made mashed potatoes to serve this week
Make two loaves of turkey meatloaf - wrapped one up raw in the freezer for another night, the other is ready to be cooked either tonight or tomorrow night for dinner; once baked, half will be saved for sandwiches later in the week)
Made 4 stuffed chicken breasts with gravy (prepped and in the fridge raw, waiting to get baked)
cleared out all the old food from my fridge to make room for the food I just prepped
washed one load of dishes, one more to go waiting in the sink
I did everything in one sitting, so that I had 1 mess to clean up instead of cleaning up every night. It feels great to have all of my meals prepped and ready to go for the week!
*I also have some chicken breasts ready in the freezer to get marinated for another meal this week, as well as some leftovers I already froze another night that will make one more meal for the busiest night of the week.
