Weekly Preparation Strategy

Our plan focuses on two key moments:

  • Sunday : Prep snacks, slow cooker, and vegetables
  • Monday : Preparing the granola while the beef is cooking

Sunday Optimization

Sunday preparation allows you to:

  • Prepare the slow cooker and marinate the vegetables for Monday
  • Prepare all individual snack portions
  • Save time on weeknights
  • Making morning lunches easier
  • Reduce food waste

Monday Beef: A Strategic Base!

Cooking beef on Monday is strategic because it:

  • Allows you to prepare granola while cooking
  • Reduces dishes (using the slow cooker)
  • Prepare protein for 2 meals
