EP 51: How to Meal Prep like a Pro!

35 minutes

“What I have learned through the years is even my friends who do love cooking and who are really good at it, it becomes a grind to put dinner on the table every night.” says host Corinne Morahan. If you can relate, you will find plenty of helpful tips in this episode of Get Organized for Good for taking the pain points out of meal prep. Corinne discusses how she keeps her family and herself healthily fed while making the most of family time. She’ll cover division of labor in the kitchen, working around kids’ schedules, and home-cooked meals versus ordering in and dining out. She explains how she talks to her kids about healthy eating, her approach to snacks, making the most of seasonal eating and how to turn one night of cooking into multiple meals.

She’ll share her tips for keeping an organized grocery list, how to make the most efficient use of time at the grocery store and why she schedules her shopping around trash day. She’ll share her recipe for the most delicious lime and cilantro rice, dealing with food allergies and food preferences, and balancing nutritious eating with treats—and why both are ultimately good for us. She’ll explain why she is pro-microwave and how she uses it to make so many delicious dishes.

Whether you are in charge of the household cooking or, like Corinne, are more than happy to leave it to your spouse, you’ll find plenty of advice on today’s episode about making for a week of seamless meal prep.

Quotes

“What I have learned through the years is even my friends who do love cooking and who are really good at it, it becomes a grind to put dinner on the table every night.” (3:10 | Corinne Morahan)

“I do not understand people who like to go grocery shopping multiple times a week.” (7:45 | Corinne Morahan)

“If I am in charge of dinner and my husband’s not there, I am 100 percent of the time ordering in or taking the kids out. I’m just not interested.” (21:06 | Corinne Morahan)

“For me, it is more important that we all sit down and eat as many nights as possible than that we are spending all of this time cooking a meal and then feeling tired from the cooking and like there’s so much cleanup to do. I’d rather have that time together as a family, and this really works for us.” (22:10 | Corinne Morahan)

“All food is good for us. Some is good for our bodies, and some is good for our souls. And that is really how I think about food. We don’t really have good and bad food. We don’t talk about it that way.” (28:13 | Corinne Morahan)
