Grocery Shopping & Meal Prep posts are designed to help with grocery shopping when you want to eat a clean diet. I buy mostly whole foods, but also combine that with convenient food for fast, healthy meals. I also show you how I prepare my foods to create a week’s worth of clean eating meals.

This week was a bit different because of the crazy weekend. I was busy all day Friday & Saturday with Bobstock, so I went grocery shopping on Sunday. I didn’t have much energy to be honest, but I had planned for that and didn’t buy too much or get too wild with meal prepping. I knew I wanted to make a raw veggie salad and I’d frozen a bunch of prepared meat to use for this week since I didn’t think I’d have enough energy to cook all day.

I also bought a couple non-clean-eating foods to enjoy on Sunday. I have been craving ice cream for the last couple weeks and I figured there was no better time to enjoy it than after an extremely long and stenuous weekend, like Bobstock weekend! The sad part is that I tried some of it, but then forgot to eat a real serving of it on Sunday night! I ended up falling asleep on the couch and never ate it. Hahaha I guess it is in the fridge for later…. [Read more…]

I changed up my routine quite a bit this last weekend in terms of meal prep. First of all, it was a 3-day weekend with the 4th of July falling on Monday. We had plans to take Donny’s sister and her husband on a Sunday-Funday-Adventure in Denver. They were visiting for the week and we decided to take them away for half a day. I knew that would be a busy day (my typical food prep day) and we were busy all day on the 4th. Instead of having to squeeze it in somewhere I just asked Donny to grill for me on Saturday, since we didn’t have any obligations.

I went grocery shopping Saturday morning and then Donny grilled all my food later that afternoon. We have Bobstock, our biggest event of the year at work, this coming weekend so it was going to be a short week in the office. I decided to make three days worth of full meals but leave Friday open to whatever comes my way. I won’t be in the office and it will be quite hectic, so I’ll figure it out along the way! I always pack snacks for the day, but no full meals.

Here is what I bought at the grocery store and how I used those food to meal prep for the week. [Read more…]

Grocery Shopping & Meal Prep posts are a way for me to share with you the clean eating food items I purchase at the grocery store and then how I use to foods during meal prep. This week I spent about two hours in the kitchen, but managed to make a ton of extra meatballs to stick in the freezer. It would have been shorter, but they took some time to bake. Otherwise, this week was SUPER easy!

I had a really busy weekend and knew I wouldn’t have my normal schedule of grocery shopping Saturday and meal prepping Sunday mid-day or mid-afternoon. I ended up grocery shopping after work on Friday (it was a MAD HOUSE, so I do not recommend that unless necessary haha). Then I meal prepped pretty early on Sunday. I’m talkin’ cooked from 6:30am-8:30am…it wasn’t too bad actually! I needed to be gone by noon so I started right when I woke up. [Read more…]
