Meal Prep Multitasking!
As a general rule, I like to make at least one protein, one side, and one “filler” for meals every week. For example, this week I’m making shredded barbeque chicken, zucchini slices, and rice. And I am making all three of those, plus iced tea, tonight. I am also sitting here making posts to queue so you all don’t get bored, bingeing Godless on Netflix, and doing the last of my laundry. So how am I doing all that?
First off, make friends with your oven! Baking is excellent for prepping when you don’t have a lot of spoons left, because you pretty much throw things in there, set a timer, and that’s the end of your effort.
Second, consider investing in things like a rice cooker or electric kettle. These are also great “set it and forget it” kitchen tools, and they cut down on the amount you have to keep checking on things in the kitchen.
There are tons of other kitchen gadgets, and I might make a post about those later, but those are my two biggest that I have found to be helpful. And use timers. I cannot stress this enough. They are so incredibly helpful
