I'm a working mom. Yes, a doctor, but I'm not a medical doctor so please don't ask me those kinds of questions. Meals have been hard. The first year after baby, I was lucky enough that my husband took over the cooking. With him in school, he is less able to do that. So I tried a slow cooker meal prep day. After staying up very late chopping and bagging vegetables (Thanks sis!), I was pleased with the packed-full freezer. Fast forward to when we started cooking those meals....yeah, not so great. Some of the recipes were okay, many were not. To be fair, I was trying to do "healthy" meals, so none of the recipes had canned cream-of-your-choice soup. They did have lots of vegetables, and my main complaint was that the raw, then frozen, then slow cooked vegies had a weird consistency. Anyway, rather than discuss the various factors and ways I could have done differently to make things better, let's fast forward.
My friend asked if I wanted to do a meal prep day. She asked me after having us over for a fabulous lasagna that was made without cooking the noodles (regular, not non-boil), freezing then baking. It was yummy! So we did a meal prep day and these results were much better!
So why the blog? I am a busy mom. I don't want a huge stack of paper recipes, spreadsheets and endless web bookmarks to search through to find my successful recipes. Plus if they are online and a friend likes the meal I make, I can easily get it to them. So here it is: Real meals, from my home to yours.
Also, you won't find any fancy pictures here. Sorry to disappoint, but ain't nobody got no time for that.
