It's been two weeks since the last meal prep was posted so let's dive right in. The reason I didn't post last week is simple. I made the same food as the week before - and a little bit less of it all because we were still eating those (frozen) boxes from the week before then. All right. Here is this week's shopping bounty: As you can see it's a lot of the 'regular' stuff (staples) but with some variety (a lot of mushrooms and a bit of cheese). The breakdown is as follows: Vegetables: carrots, cabbage, parsley, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, red onions, spinach, paprika, cucumber, zucchini, various mushrooms Proteins: minced meat (500g used) and two pork schnitzel as well as six pieces of cod (four frozen and two fresh). Also: brown lentils (about 150g). Carbohydrates (non-vegetables): a 75g bag of quinoa and about 200g of brown rice (not pictured). Three handfuls of whole wheat penne. About 200g of whole wheat flour to ma...

It's Tuesday this time! I'm sorry I couldn't post on Monday. Because we made so much food last week, we actually had enough until Monday lunch, which means we only made a new batch on Monday after the last of the food had been eaten. Without much further ado, here's the shopping for this week: The ingredients: Vegetables : a lot of paprika (mostly red with some yellow), orange sweet potatoes, one and a half zucchini (half from last week still), celery (also from last week's batch), brussel sprouts, broccoli, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, tomato puree (red box to the right), and two cans of tomato blocks (top right of picture). Proteins : fish (codfish as always!), eggs (used three), minced meat (1kg - but we only used 500g, the rest is frozen), chickpeas (glass jar with the purple lid). Carbohydrates (non-vegetable) : brown rice, spaghetti, a little bit of white rice What is not shown : a package of vegetarian (tofu) ...

It's Monday! Let's get started with a quick overview of what yesterday's meal prep looked like! An explanation first: I have more time in the weekend (and more help) then during the week. This means Sunday it's meal prep day at my house. We usually start about 16:00 and are done by 18:00 - 18:30. This means two hours of cooking and we'll have food for the rest of the week. How easy and simple can it get! I'm going to show you part of my haul of groceries (unfortunately the rest didn't fit this time but I promise to make it fit the next!): As you can see there's a bit of minced meat (both chick and mixed pork/beef) and some fish (the brownish thing in the top middle). These are almost all the animal proteins we used. I also added plant protein in the form of red lentils (not shown on this picture) to one dish. The rest are all the vegetables (minus one hiding cauliflower that I couldn't find at the time). All that's missing here are ...
