Meal Planning

Do you plan your meals for the week?  I do a lot of cooking so I make it a point to organize my schedule and try to think of ways to be more efficient.  A huge chunk of my Saturday morning was spent slicing, mixing, mincing.  At the end of the day I had jars filled with pesto, minced garlic, crushed ginger with green onions and shredded carrots.  I also had about 20 cups of chicken stock and several types of marinated chicken.  Yum :)

Seems like a lot of work but it's really worth it since I get our meals prepared faster during the week.  For lunch today we had Bibimbap without the rice (we're limiting our carb intake so yup no rice).  It was easy to make considering that I had a lot of the stuff needed ready - just had to prep the spinach, sprouts and the fried egg. 

Next time I'd like to try freezing herbs and essential juices like lime, lemon and calamansi.  Hope I remember!  Happy Sunday folks :)
