Meal Prepping with Sarah Thomas
Maintaining a balanced lifestyle is hard for active, ambitious people. We staged one of the busy, professional regulars in our world to ask her, “How do you do it all?” Our friend, Sarah Thomas shares a little bit more about her story, and where it intersects with Taziki’s.
“I’m a 42-year-old wife and mom of three kids (ages 7, 10 and 12) running a business, and running my kids to competitive dance practice every night of the week. My top priority when it comes to food is to fuel my own body (and the little ones I’m mom-ing) with high-quality food. With our on-the-go schedule, meal prep is essential to hitting our nutrition goals each week.
While meal prep is helpful, it can feel so daunting! It’s typically seen as spending hours in the kitchen every Sunday cutting, washing, prepping and cooking food. All that work is enough for most of us to throw our hands in the air and say “NO MORE”. The struggle is real! You want to eat well and at the same time, you value your family time on the weekend. I get you!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with meal prep, try these strategies:
Plan ahead 1-2 dinner recipes for the week.
Double up your recipes to have leftovers DURING the week.
Take ALL the guesswork out and order a Dinner for 4 from Taziki’s for #mealprepmonday.
