Speaker 1: and it's also one of the things that can be
Speaker 1: the toughest. And this is all about meal prep. And
Speaker 1: this is literally something I'm just so passionate about because
Speaker 1: if you guys remember my story, if you didn't know,
Speaker 1: I've been on this huge health journey over twelve years now.
Speaker 1: I used to not know how to be healthy whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I literally was a girl that ate noodle box for breakfast.
Speaker 1: I put on twenty five kilos in a year. And
Speaker 1: it's not about the way which we know, but I
Speaker 1: was very, very unhealthy, and I did know where to
Speaker 1: start and I always found that, you know, I would
Speaker 1: try to eat healthy and I didn't know what to eat,
Speaker 1: and then I would always get stuck. And then on
Speaker 1: the flip side of that, I feel like meal prep
Speaker 1: is a big one for people because everyone is so
Speaker 1: busy and we all hate where you get home from
Speaker 1: work or after a big day, you don't know what
Speaker 1: you're having, There's nothing in the fridge, and there's nothing
Speaker 1: worse than having to do a million Woolies trips in
Speaker 1: the evening and the kids are screaming for dinner and
Speaker 1: everything is a shit show. We're not doing that anymore.
Speaker 1: So how to meal plan, meal prep all those things
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest things I get asked about.
Speaker 1: And again I used to not know anything about it.
Speaker 1: I used to live on takeaway and now it is
Speaker 1: literally the thing that has enabled me to be healthy
Speaker 1: for the last twelve years and save money and be
Speaker 1: organized and be able to actually have a life. So
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about in today's episode. I'm giving
Speaker 1: you the seven tips slash steps that you need to
Speaker 1: do to meal prep, meal plan all the things and
Speaker 1: that will allow you to save money, stop running around
Speaker 1: like a bloody stray Cat, I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: You know someone that just like a hot mess, you
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna have for dinner. It's going
Speaker 1: to help your whole family, it's going to help you,
Speaker 1: and it's just going to change your life. So make
Speaker 1: sure you listen through the whole episode because at the end,
Speaker 1: I'm also giving you the hack that will make sure
Speaker 1: that you actually eat the food that you make and
Speaker 1: also your family and actually get your family to eat
Speaker 1: healthier as well. So excited. But before I get into it,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a bit of a life update. So
Speaker 1: the new house that we're building, we're probably moving in
Speaker 1: in another two months. It's just taking its time. You know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But I need to tell
Speaker 1: you the funniest story, and it's happened a couple or
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago now. But Ryan went to the
Speaker 1: block because if you guys don't know, we're building the
Speaker 1: house iself. Ryan is a builder. He's wrapping up soon
Speaker 1: to work for me, but we're building the house. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he went there, he went to the site. We're at
Speaker 1: lock up stage now, so we just had like he
Speaker 1: opened the back doors. He was on the phone and
Speaker 1: he came back into the main like living area, and
Speaker 1: in there was like six baby goats. I'm not even joking.
Speaker 1: They were just just walking around, just checking it out,
Speaker 1: thinking it was an open house, just having a look.
Speaker 1: And Ryan was like literally thought he was on something.
Speaker 1: He was like, what the what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 1: And even one went down the stairs and they were
Speaker 1: like looking around downstairs and there was his random goats.
Speaker 1: Like where we live there is a bit of farm land,
Speaker 1: but it was just the most random thing. And then
Speaker 1: he had to like try and get them out, and
Speaker 1: it was just so funny. Like I just couldn't believe
Speaker 1: when he sent me the photo. There's no context. I
Speaker 1: was so so confused, and I posted it on Instagram
Speaker 1: and you guys thought we were full of shit and
Speaker 1: that Ryan photo shopped it. And Ryan couldn't photoshop it
Speaker 1: to save his life. But yeah, so that's a good time.
Speaker 1: So they actually came from like the neighbors up the back,
Speaker 1: I think, but they're super cute so I kind of
Speaker 1: want to keep them. But anyways, they had a good look.
Speaker 1: I think they approved of the house. They like the plans.
Speaker 1: Barry the goat was really impressed by the kitchen. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what happened. Anyways, let's get into it because this
Speaker 1: episode is going to change your life, all right. First
Speaker 1: step you want to do is schedule a time to
Speaker 1: meal plan and scheduling in time to meal prep. I
Speaker 1: used to do all of that in one day, and
Speaker 1: for me it does take time. It does take time.
Speaker 1: So now what I like to do is on Friday morning,
Speaker 1: I will do my meal planning, so plan at the
Speaker 1: meals which you'll get into, and then i'd like order
Speaker 1: my groceries and then they come that day all the
Speaker 1: next day and then our meal prep. So it's like
Speaker 1: broken up into a couple of days, so I'm not
Speaker 1: doing everything in one day. Some people do like to
Speaker 1: smash it out in a day. I used to do that.
Speaker 1: Now that the girls are older and they don't do
Speaker 1: naps like, I like to just do parts of it
Speaker 1: over like three days. So it really does depend on
Speaker 1: your situation or what you prefer. If you'd rather just
Speaker 1: do it all, they can go for it. So main
Speaker 1: point with this is scheduling a time for when you're
Speaker 1: going to do these things. Step two, before you even
Speaker 1: meal plan, before you even think about what you're going
Speaker 1: to eat for dinner or breakfast or lunch or snacks.
Speaker 1: Is I want you to shop your freezer and pantry now.
Speaker 1: I want you to physically go through your freezer and
Speaker 1: pantry and see what you've already got. And this is
Speaker 1: how you're going to save so much money. Now, how
Speaker 1: many times have you guys? I know we have guilty
Speaker 1: We've gone and book like mince meat and we've already
Speaker 1: got bloody three mince meats in the freezer. So you
Speaker 1: want to see what you've got. What meals can you
Speaker 1: make from what you've already got. It's gonna save money.
Speaker 1: You're going to make sure you're not wasting food. Look
Speaker 1: in your pantries. If you've got rice already, if you've
Speaker 1: got pasta, what can you make with that? So grab
Speaker 1: your SPP notebook, write it down, see what you've already got.
Speaker 1: Step three is now we're going to meal plan now
Speaker 1: that we've scheduled in our times, we've shopped our freezer
Speaker 1: and our pantry, and we already know some basis of
Speaker 1: what we can use. We know, okay, we've got heaps
Speaker 1: of rice, we've got pasta, we've got some mince, all
Speaker 1: of some chicken drumsticks in there. We need to use
Speaker 1: these up. Now, what meals are you going to make?
Speaker 1: My biggest tip with meal planning is to actually have
Speaker 1: it physically, visually in front of you and the whole family.
Speaker 1: So that's why I made my SPP fridge magnets. Their
Speaker 1: life changing. They look beautiful. You can have an ongoing
Speaker 1: running shopping list next to it, which I'll get into
Speaker 1: later as well. I have a whole system, guys. It's
Speaker 1: a full system and it makes life easy and that's
Speaker 1: why I make these products. So say, if we're having spaghetti,
Speaker 1: I'm still at work, I'm still running around ryanker home,
Speaker 1: and you can say, oh, we're having spaghetti. He can
Speaker 1: cook it. He's got your hands off your go love.
Speaker 1: It's all about being a team. So that's the first thing. Now,
Speaker 1: I want you to remember that on the days you're
Speaker 1: really busy, those are the days you want your dinners
Speaker 1: to be the easiest. You either want to make extra
Speaker 1: the night before and then you just heat it up
Speaker 1: and eat it. You're gonna have ready made meals. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have something that's super quick and easy to chuck together.
Speaker 1: So for us, Mondays and Tuesdays are crazy. We always
Speaker 1: just make sure we have leftovers from the Sunday night
Speaker 1: or something super easy. So just be aware of your schedules,
Speaker 1: especially if you've got kids sports after school. Maybe have
Speaker 1: things already prepped so you can just chuck it in
Speaker 1: the microwave. Now, I want you to know when you
Speaker 1: were doing your meal plan. Obviously you write it's like
Speaker 1: Monday to Sunday and you write down your meals. Some
Speaker 1: people think that this means you have to eat it
Speaker 1: on that night. That is definitely not the case where
Speaker 1: you will switch things up. How many times will you like,
Speaker 1: plan to eat something and you go to make it
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't feel like it now. So
Speaker 1: that's why it's good to ensure when you are buying
Speaker 1: the ingredients and things to have a bit of leeway
Speaker 1: with the dates and if there is safe For example,
Speaker 1: I don't say steak one night. I'll actually write on
Speaker 1: my magnet the expiring date of the steak on them
Speaker 1: unless you just chuck it in the freezer, so I know, okay,
Speaker 1: like I've put it in for Monday to have steak,
Speaker 1: but I don't feel like it. But it goes out
Speaker 1: a date on Thursday. So I've still got some days
Speaker 1: so you can mix a match, mix up your meals.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you have to eat it on Monday.
Speaker 1: You can have it on Tuesday as long as you've
Speaker 1: got the ingredients for it and you've got it prepped.
Speaker 1: It does not matter. You don't have to stick to
Speaker 1: it one hundred percent. Remember we're not making big elaborate
Speaker 1: roasts on a Monday when everyone's running around like a
Speaker 1: crazy person. Save the more intricate meals for days where
Speaker 1: you have the time. So really look at your days
Speaker 1: in your planner. And also, one thing I love to
Speaker 1: do on my fridge magnets is I'll put in red
Speaker 1: when I need to take things out of the freezer.
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than when you go to cook something
Speaker 1: and things are still frozen. So I actually write on
Speaker 1: my magnet the night before when to take meat out.
Speaker 1: I do actually have a discount code for you guys
Speaker 1: for all my staff based planner items. It's stepping up
Speaker 1: and you get fifteen percent off, So you guys can
Speaker 1: use that all right, So step four create a list.
Speaker 1: So now we've scheduled in time, shopped your freezer and
Speaker 1: your pantry we've done your meal plan. Now we go
Speaker 1: to create our shopping list. With the shopping list I
Speaker 1: made again, I'd done it in categories because it makes
Speaker 1: it a lot easier. So when I'm at the shops,
Speaker 1: if I decide to go to the shops, I am
Speaker 1: not running around like a mad person. There's nothing worse
Speaker 1: when you put in all the items you need to
Speaker 1: buy and it's in a random order, and then you
Speaker 1: go to the fruit aisle and then you're back over here,
Speaker 1: and then you're running around and it just wastes time.
Speaker 1: So I did that, and I also put like a
Speaker 1: budget at the bottom of our shopping list, which, let's
Speaker 1: be honest these days is so hot, so that's why
Speaker 1: we're shopping our freezer. Another really good hack for this
Speaker 1: is if you do shop online. We shop on Woolies
Speaker 1: online a lot of the time. You can actually make
Speaker 1: lists in there. So I'll have a list for our
Speaker 1: weekly groceries, so items that we literally will buy every week,
Speaker 1: even down to the quantities. I'll have it in a
Speaker 1: list in the Woolies website. And I also have a
Speaker 1: fortnightly one and a monthly one. So in the monthly one,
Speaker 1: there's more things like house cleaning products and things that
Speaker 1: we don't have to get as often fortnightly. These things
Speaker 1: again like we don't need to get every single week.
Speaker 1: And if you have them already made lists on the website,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Coals and all that probably do it too.
Speaker 1: You literally just click it and then it goes into
Speaker 1: your cart, or at least I use it as inspa
Speaker 1: when I actually want to go to the grocery store
Speaker 1: and I write it on my shopping list. Best tip,
Speaker 1: we actually used to own a on site van at
Speaker 1: a caravan park. I even had a list for that,
Speaker 1: so every time we would go down there, I would
Speaker 1: use the same list for just when we're going away.
Speaker 1: So it's so so good. So if you've got like
Speaker 1: babies and little ones, you can have separate lists for everything.
Speaker 1: It's so so clever. Well, if I do say so myself. Now,
Speaker 1: this isn't just a list of your shopping list and
Speaker 1: things like that. I want you to keep a running
Speaker 1: list throughout the week. So as I said, when I magnet,
Speaker 1: I've got the shopping list with the meal planner, and
Speaker 1: as you run out of things, you write them on
Speaker 1: the magnet. You write it down, because then you know,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing worse when you go to do your
Speaker 1: shopping list and you forgot that you run out of
Speaker 1: toilet paper, and you go there and you come back
Speaker 1: and everyone's stuck on the toilet. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Why did I say that? I say the weirdest shit
Speaker 1: on this podcast, honestly. All right, Now, Step five is
Speaker 1: about actual meal prep. Now, there's a couple of ways
Speaker 1: you can do this. You can batch cook things like pasta.
Speaker 1: You can do casseroles, pasta bakes, lasagna, curries, even I
Speaker 1: love to do big like Keisha's and I cut it
Speaker 1: up and have it for lunches as well. I really
Speaker 1: like to batch cook snacks. So my stuff paste clean treats.
Speaker 1: If you guys don't know, I've got my own range
Speaker 1: of clean treats with more life. I'll batch cook the muffins.
Speaker 1: I'll just do like boiled eggs as a snack. Anything
Speaker 1: that can be like a snack you can wrap all together.
Speaker 1: I usually like to keep those things in the fridge
Speaker 1: for about three days. Anymore, I'll freeze it. That's kind
Speaker 1: of my rule. Obviously I'm not a professional, but that's
Speaker 1: just what I do. So three days in the fridge anymore,
Speaker 1: I'll freeze it. But if you're someone who likes to
Speaker 1: kind of mix it up a bit more like myself,
Speaker 1: I actually like to cook components of meals. So one
Speaker 1: big one I do is cooking protein. So I like
Speaker 1: to chuck in chicken breast in a slow cooker with
Speaker 1: chicken stock, and then I shred it up after I
Speaker 1: cook it for like eight hours, and then you've got
Speaker 1: chicken ready for sturf fries. You got it for sandwiches,
Speaker 1: you got it for wraps with the kids, for anything.
Speaker 1: Also my Mexican beef, which I think I've got the
Speaker 1: recipe on my blog. I'll have to find it for
Speaker 1: you guys. I cook that up and then you can
Speaker 1: have that as tacos, burrito bowl, anything even down to
Speaker 1: like meatballs. There's so many different things you can do.
Speaker 1: So I like to actually cook components of meals, which
Speaker 1: actually leads me to my next point, the wash and chops.
Speaker 1: This is where I will literally prep again components of meals,
Speaker 1: and this is more about fruit and veg. Now you've
Speaker 1: possibly made up some pastas for the kids, which is
Speaker 1: really really handy, made up maybe for Tata kishe whatever,
Speaker 1: you've cooked some slow cooked beef, You've got your boiled
Speaker 1: eggs and your healthy muffins and all that ready to go.
Speaker 1: You can even batch cook things like pasta sauce and
Speaker 1: then you freeze it into ice cubes and then you
Speaker 1: can just give it to the kids with their pasta.
Speaker 1: Easy done. All right. So now number six is your
Speaker 1: wash and chop. So this is when you get home
Speaker 1: and you wash all your fruit and veggies. We chuck
Speaker 1: it all in there with white vinegar. We rinse it off.
Speaker 1: I pre chop it because yes, you can just leave it,
Speaker 1: but the chances are during the week you're going to
Speaker 1: be busy, and again there's nothing worse than having to
Speaker 1: chop up a million things and then you're cooking as well.
Speaker 1: Even when the kids were little, I would pre chop
Speaker 1: like strawberries and stuff. Now I don't do that anymore. Again,
Speaker 1: it depends on the fruit, but I like will pre
Speaker 1: chop our roast veggies, so our like sweet potato, onion,
Speaker 1: white potato, carrot, and the hardy vegetables you will find.
Speaker 1: Depending agap from like the batch you get and what
Speaker 1: container you store it in, it will actually last you
Speaker 1: like four or five days not always the majority of
Speaker 1: the time, they last ages. And I will talk about
Speaker 1: containers in a minute. So pre chopping everything, so when
Speaker 1: you get home, Hey, you've already got that component of
Speaker 1: meat that you cooked. You got your slaw cooked beef,
Speaker 1: chock it on a plate. You've got your roast veggies
Speaker 1: that already pre chopped. Chuck it in the air fryer
Speaker 1: and you're done. You sort it so good. Now I'm
Speaker 1: going to talk about storage, so fridge organization and containers
Speaker 1: and like how to actually store this stuff. This is
Speaker 1: such a big question, and I get because I know
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse when you like cook things, and you know,
Speaker 1: especially if fruit and vege, they can spoil pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: So I use the little label coat containers and they're
Speaker 1: amazing because they do keep your fruit and vege lasting longer. God,
Speaker 1: you know you're old when you're doing a podcast on
Speaker 1: bloody containers for your fridge. Jesus, Steph, what's happened to you?
Speaker 1: Used to be so fun. Anyway, I do have a
Speaker 1: discount coach for a littlelabel co pop it in the show.
Speaker 1: Notes to you guys, Now, some little tips to make
Speaker 1: certain things last longer. If you're pre chopping your carrots.
Speaker 1: I personally am lazy and I like to pay an
Speaker 1: extra two dollars and I'll buy their carrot sticks. And
Speaker 1: then you don't have to store them in water, which
Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you, but if you pre chop
Speaker 1: things like carrot and stuff, store them in a jar
Speaker 1: in water and they'll last longer. Same if you buy
Speaker 1: fresh herbs, pop it in a little jar of water,
Speaker 1: it will last a lot longer. There's so many reasons
Speaker 1: why I love some good fridge porn. You guys are
Speaker 1: sure if you're listening to this podcast you've seen my fridge.
Speaker 1: She's pretty beautiful. Clear containers. Everything just looks gorgeous. But
Speaker 1: there's a few reasons why I do this. Number One,
Speaker 1: you at least get to wash your fruit and veg
Speaker 1: and that's done. Number Two, you have it chopped and
Speaker 1: prepped and ready to go. Number Three, by using these
Speaker 1: clear containers, they are not only going to last longer,
Speaker 1: they're on display. And this means that when you go
Speaker 1: to your fridge, you are not going to be ruffling
Speaker 1: through and trying to find things at the back. And
Speaker 1: how many times have you guys bought things? It's been
Speaker 1: shoved at the back of the fridge and you forget
Speaker 1: about it, and then it gets out of date, and
Speaker 1: because you don't know it's there. It's the same with
Speaker 1: like I love pantry organization, because all this shit goes
Speaker 1: up the back. You've got twenty curry powders, and you
Speaker 1: keep buying more, you keep bringing them home. We're not
Speaker 1: doing that anymore. So that is why. Because it's like
Speaker 1: at a restaurant, if they bring out a plate of
Speaker 1: food that looks like a piece of shit, it probably
Speaker 1: tastes cool, but it looks like a piece of shit,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna eat it. You're not gonna want to
Speaker 1: eat it. But if they bring it out it looks
Speaker 1: really nicely, it's on display. They've done the little parsley,
Speaker 1: put like flowers and shit on it. It was good,
Speaker 1: you want to eat it. It's the same with the fridge.
Speaker 1: So if you have all your fruit and veg all
Speaker 1: nicely displayed in containers, guess who else is going to
Speaker 1: eat it? Instead of eating chips? Your children, My kids
Speaker 1: now will just go in there and grab carrot sticks
Speaker 1: and baby cucumbers and eat it. Because if it's out
Speaker 1: of sight, it's out of mind. So if you can't
Speaker 1: see it, and if you have to do the process
Speaker 1: of having to prep anything like carrot sticks and that
Speaker 1: you're not gonna eat it. You're not gonna grab some
Speaker 1: homess and have it as a snack. So if things
Speaker 1: are prepped, even down to the eggs, I will usually
Speaker 1: peel boiled eggs as well, and then I can just
Speaker 1: grab it and eat it. Now, one thing I want
Speaker 1: to say is you are not a bad person or
Speaker 1: a bad mum. If you're not making all these wholesome
Speaker 1: foods with one hundred ingredients. It's I'm not about that life.
Speaker 1: I'm about convenience. I literally will do the easiest recipes
Speaker 1: on the planet, especially lately, guys, my life's been a
Speaker 1: hot mess with work. We will chuck nuggets in the
Speaker 1: air fry and get them some like carrots and fruit.
Speaker 1: It's fine, that is normal. You're a normal human for
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm not saying you have to make everything
Speaker 1: from scratch. This is just how to make things easier.
Speaker 1: I do actually have a really good a recipe e
Speaker 1: book and the ingredients, and they're really super easy. I'm
Speaker 1: not someone who likes to add on a million steps.
Speaker 1: I will do it the easiest way. And that's why.
Speaker 1: Like with my Mexican beef that I make in the
Speaker 1: slow cooker, it is literally beef packet of taco seasoning
Speaker 1: because I can't be bothered to mix four different types
Speaker 1: of spices together, and I chuck it in with like
Speaker 1: dice tomato and a bit of water and I'm done.
Speaker 1: That is it, and that's healthy. That's done. You want
Speaker 1: to make it easy for yourself. You don't have to
Speaker 1: make your own bone broth, you don't have to make
Speaker 1: your own bloody pestro if you don't want to, just
Speaker 1: do what works for you and your family, and don't
Speaker 1: be scared to try pre made meal kits. There's been
Speaker 1: so many times Ryan and I over the years we've
Speaker 1: used ones where you chuck in the microwave and we
Speaker 1: just eat that for dinner. That's fine. Just do what
Speaker 1: works for you. It's not about being perfect. It's about
Speaker 1: making your life easy. Yeah, it's about trying to save
Speaker 1: money as well, and you not having to run around
Speaker 1: to woolies during the week. Now, just a little recap
Speaker 1: to remind you. Make sure you do say this episode
Speaker 1: because this is literally just like the best framework ever.
Speaker 1: But Okay, the seven steps we're going to go through
Speaker 1: is step one schedule time to meal prep and plan.
Speaker 1: Step two is to shop your freezer and pantry. Step
Speaker 1: three is to meal plan based off of what's in
Speaker 1: your pantry and your freezer. So do your meal planning.
Speaker 1: Next step is creating your lists, so your shopping list
Speaker 1: based off your meal plan and what you've got. And
Speaker 1: then you're going to be meal prepping. So you're gonna
Speaker 1: be meal prepping components, batch cooking your snacks, whatever floats
Speaker 1: your boat, your wash and chops. So we're going to
Speaker 1: get our veggies and fruit prepped up and in their
Speaker 1: cute containers. And then the last step is having your
Speaker 1: fridge organization and containers and in the fridge. Also, this
Speaker 1: is the best bloody Hacker came up with. I feel
Speaker 1: I have a used me first shelf in our fridge.
Speaker 1: You know, when you open up packets of deli meat
Speaker 1: or anything that's about to go well, I will pop
Speaker 1: that in this shelf that's on the door of the fridge.
Speaker 1: I've labeled and it says use me first, so everyone
Speaker 1: in the family knows that they have to use that
Speaker 1: first before they maybe open another packet. Or go for
Speaker 1: something else. Best hack ever, I literally have labels on everything.
Speaker 1: I would label Ryan if he stood still for long enough. Anyways, guys,
Speaker 1: I hope this helped. I will link everything I said
