THREE MEAL PREP TIPS FOR A BUSY SCHEDULE


Being in college is tough! You are constantly juggling homework and extracurricular activities.  I recently started meal prepping and it saved me a lot more time during the week now that I have my meals made for me.  Below are a few tips I have learned along the way, on how to make meal prepping flow better.
  1. Keep it simple. At first, I wanted to make the most complicated recipes and it just made things difficult.  Meal prepping is simple if you keep it simple. You do not have to go crazy on spices to make a good tasting dish. If you really want to make it simple at first, buy precut vegetable or fruits. Although, if you are on a budget, I would recommend buying whole vegetable to save money.
  2. Lists are important. Always plan out the recipes you want to meal prep before you go to the grocery store. I also always double check my grocery list before I go shopping. I do this so that I make sure I get everything I need from the store.
  3. Multitasking will be your best friend. You will be able to save a lot of time meal prepping if you are able to multitask.  This is not as difficult as it may seem.  It can be as easy as cutting up your veggies and sticking them in the oven to bake, while you cook the chicken or rice on the stove. 

Meal prep can seem difficult at first, but you will figure out what works best for you over time.  Find what is fun and most convenient for you and meal prep will not feel like a chore every week!

    I appreciate your tips on meal prepping and making it easier. I have tried meal prepping a couple times, but it always feels like an all day thing. Although, it is very convenient to grab food and go. For future grocery store visits, I am considering making a grocery list. This will save more time and keep me from rebuying the same items!

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

LOOKING BACK AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES CLASS

Last semester I was looking for a class to take to fill my credit hours. I had no idea that this class would teach me so much more than I had ever expected. My first week back in class, some of my classmates told me that Dr. Aggie’s class was fun, but challenging. Along with that, this is the one class that I need to read the textbook. Although this was somewhat intimidating to hear, I stuck with the course and now I am so happy that I did. Along with learning about social media and how to run it from a business standard, I met some awesome people along the way. Having such a small class meant that we all got to know each other well. Along with this, even when we went to remote learning our class sessions were still fun! I am going to miss making Tik Tok videos in class before we start lecture and learning about my classmates and professor. Even though blogging was my least favorite part of this class, I feel like I learned so much about blogging over these past 15 weeks. M...
