1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, I'm Kelsey next in and this is Kitchen Prescription,

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: the podcast you've listened to and you don't know what

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: to make for dinner. How is everyone? I hope you're

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: doing well. This is a big week for us over

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: in our house, big transitions for my kids. So two

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: of my kids are wrapping up the school year. That's

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Alie and Nora. Alie's just wrapping up fourth grade and

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: Norah is wrapping up her pre kindergarten year. And my

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: youngest Penny is just starting school tomorrow. I know that's

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: so weird because it's June, but I have been trying

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: to figure out a plan for Penny in preschool. She's

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: the cutest thing ever, you guys, but she really all

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: she wants to do is leave. She just likes to go,

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: go go. She'll bring me her little shoes to the

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: door and say go go go. And so I'm going

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: to put her in a little preschool program. I both

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: I put both aleanor in preschool around two ish and

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: they loved it. So I'm excited for her to have

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: this experience. But it's important. It was important to me

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: to figure out a school situation that was really convenient

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to our home and maybe tick some of the other

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: boxes that were important to me. And this one school

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: seemed perfect, but they only had an opening in June,

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: and so I said, I will take it. So in

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: one week, I'm wrapping up school for two of my

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: kids and starting school for my youngest. So I'm like,

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: my brain feels almost discombobulated, where one side of my

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: brain is wrapping up and the others just gearing up.

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a crazy, crazy thing. But one

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: thing that's in common with both of these situations or

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: scenarios is, all of a sudden, I'm having to readjust

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: our lunch game plan. So Penny will be taking her

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: first packed to school, cutest thing ever. And Ali and

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Nora will be transitioning out of hot lunch at school

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: and moving to like day camp lunch or home lunch.

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: And so as I was meal planning this week, I

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: was having a rethink lunch options that I needed to

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: have on hand for my kids at home, and what

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I would pack for Penny and I would pack for

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: my older kids. And it's like a whole thing, right,

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I forget how stressful lunch is once you're in a

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: routine and in a groove. I feel like I know

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: what to buy and what's working. And my older kids

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: were fans of hot lunch this year, which was amazing.

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: So anyways, I've been thinking so much about that. But

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: one thing I want to share with you is because

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: this is really the last time I'll have to make

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: this lunch box decision, because I'm obsessed with my kids

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: lunch boxes and I've talked about them before. Not sponsored

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. I just think they

51
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: are a wonderful company. But I love Planet Box. So

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Planet Boxes this lunchbox that is kind of like a

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Bento box style and it's stainless steel, and there's these

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: cute magnets you can buy to kind of customize to

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: go on top of it. But what's great about this

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: lunchbox It's it's one hundred percent indestructible and you buy

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: it once when they're in preschool, like Penny, and it

58
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: is a lunchbox that will carry you through elementary school

59
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: like it will last forever. I love that about it.

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: I feel like lunchbox like bags and boxes, can get

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: so gross and growdy. And because it's stainless steel, you know,

62
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm using my force of Nature on it because I'm

63
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: obsessed with that. But I don't even put it, like,

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even put in the dishwasher. I think you

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: can technically put it in the dishwasher. But I always

66
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: clean my kids lunchboxes right when they yn from school.

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I empty what they didn't eat, which they're usually pretty

68
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: good lunch eaters, and then I spray it with Force

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: of Nature and that's it. Like it's such an easy,

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: easy process. And the other thing that's great about Force

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: of Nature in lunchboxes is that it gets rid of

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: all of those smells because it's deodorizer. And if you

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: guys don't know what I'm talking about, Force of Nature

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: is another huge favorite of mine. It is this all

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: natural cleaning solution. I'm laughing as I'm telling you this

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: because it sounds too good to be true, and I'm

77
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: usually not wanted to like be into things like this,

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: but it's the best multi purpose cleaner ever. It's electronized water. Yes,

79
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I know that sounds a little woo woo, but you

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: have this little kind of like it looks like a

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: little lab beaker, I don't know, and you add water

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: to it and these little what are they like little

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: pods of salt vinegar and you add it and it

84
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: makes this amazing cleaner that smells like a swimming pool,

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and I just I don't have enough great things to

86
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: say about it. I love it. I am so on

87
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: board with him, and I use it to clean my

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: kids lunch boxes. Anyways, back to the lunch boxes. What's

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: great about Planet Boxes. I think they've just really nailed

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: the portion sizes, so it's like the perfect shapes and

91
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: sizes for different lunch things. For my kids. It kind

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: of compartmentalizes them, and my kids are really great lunch eaters,

93
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: and I think that, honestly, the lunchbox might have something

94
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: to do with it. I really love them. They come

95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: with cute carrying bags, and I just it's been It's

96
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: made me smile to invest in my last Planet Box

97
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: for Penny, and now all of my kids have had

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: these lunch boxes and it kind of makes that whole

99
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: lunch process a little bit more doable. So if you

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: are in the market for a lunch box right now,

101
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: I highly recommend checking them out. Great great company. Let's

102
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: jump into sharing a few recipes for your meal plan

103
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: this week to make things feel a bit more manageable.

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: I've already told you it's a crazy time for us,

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's a crazy time for you, because

106
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: when is it not? Right? Okay, first recipe, Oh baby boy,

107
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: am I excited to share this with you. It is June,

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: and so we are into June recipe Club and this

109
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: is a recipe Club recipe my Mingo lime chicken with

110
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: coconut rice. And you may have heard me say this

111
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: on Instagram stories, but this might just be my favorite

112
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Recipe Club recipe ever. It's so good. It's just like

113
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: summary and perfect for this time of year. The marinade

114
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: is full of flavor, it's got some cilantro, and it's

115
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: got honey and chili powder. It's not complicated, but boy

116
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: oh boy, doesn't add a ton of flavor to this chicken.

117
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: A bunch of lime juice in there, and you marinate

118
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: your chicken and then I just end up searing chicken

119
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: thighs in my casting and skillet. But you could take

120
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: this same chicken, same marinade and throw these on the grill.

121
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: You could do these on a sheep pan like you

122
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: could do whatever. But I really like Jamie these in

123
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: the skillet. Well, it's great about this is you make

124
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: a mango relish that goes with it, and that's just

125
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: mango cucumber tomatoes. And then that marinade that I made,

126
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I reserve about a quarter cup of it so it

127
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: doesn't go on the chicken at all, just set it

128
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: to the side, and then I pour that over the

129
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: mango relish. Ooh, it's super yummy, super super yummy. As

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: I made it and was testing it for my family,

131
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: my husband was like, it reminds me of jerk Chicken

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, except when you don't have those really

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: polarizing spices that some people love and some people hate

134
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: and jerk chicken. But it's kind of got that Island vibe.

135
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: So if you remember a recipe club, make sure you

136
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: don't miss that one this month because it is extra good.

137
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: It's so yummy. In fact, I'm excited to make it

138
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: this week and I think my family will be excited

139
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: as well. Sheep pan filly cheese steaks. Oh this one is.

140
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: I know I've shared this with you guys before because

141
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: it's such a hit with my family, and I feel

142
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: like when summer comes around, it's like an invitation for

143
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: more sandwiches and in a way. This is kind of

144
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: a sandwich, right, so it's really simple to pull together. Obviously,

145
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: it happens on a sheet pan, and you've got bell peppers,

146
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: some mushrooms, onion, and then we add a bunch of

147
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: cheese on top, which is really nice. Get that cheesy,

148
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: whether it's short of mozzarella or provolone. We do it

149
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: on toasted hoagie rolls and they're just really, really tasty.

150
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: So it's a really simple recipe. So that's an easy

151
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: one to check out. You can get that recipe on

152
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: my website or we'll wink in the show notes. And

153
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: then the last recipe that's on my meal plan this

154
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: week is something I shared on Instagram this week in

155
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: my five Ingredient Friday series called chicken Caesar wraps, and

156
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: they are just simple. I got everything at Costco, with

157
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: the exception of the caesar salad kit, which you can

158
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: get at Costco. I just happen to have one on hand.

159
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: But use a tortilla and a ripe avocado that you

160
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of smears the base, some crisped bacon, and then

161
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: you toss together your caesar salad and add a sliced

162
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: chicken breast and you roll those babies up. They are delicious.

163
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: I think sometimes wraps, oh, here we go, here's a pun.

164
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Wraps get a bad rap because when I think about wraps,

165
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: I think about like buying them an airport. Like I

166
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: don't make very many wraps at home, but when you

167
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: make a rap at home, it's good. I was like

168
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: digging this like I made one and I was like,

169
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna make another one. This is really tasty.

170
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: If you take a little fresh lemon juice in there too,

171
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: it's really good. So to me, this is perfect for

172
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: a picnic for poolside, just all of those good things.

173
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: An easy lunch to do at home with kids. And

174
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: then it's also pretty easy to deconstruct for my kids

175
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: as well. So we do the avocado, we do the bacon.

176
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: It's great. So I wanted to pass that along. I'm

177
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: really loving these fiving ingredient recipes because I know you

178
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: guys are just as busy and crazy as I am.

179
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: And sometimes if I know that there's only five things

180
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: going into recipe, it just makes life feel easier. So

181
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep doing that series. Make sure you

182
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for that. There's some great recipes. There.

183
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: All right, there are your recipes for the week. I'm

184
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: really excited to continue talking with you on the back

185
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: half of the podcast, all about not meal planning, which

186
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time talking about, but meal

187
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: prep and the difference between the two. Since lunch has

188
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: been on my mind this week, I've also been thinking

189
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot about meal planning and prep because you kind

190
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: of go through the same process in your head. I

191
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: love this idea of meal prepping, but I also want

192
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that meal prepping can feel hard if you've

193
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: never done it before. So for anyone listening who thinks

194
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: meal prepping would never work for me, I am not

195
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: that organized. I don't think that far in advance. My

196
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: suggestion is to start with a meal plan before you

197
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: jump into meal prep. You should master a meal plan

198
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: before you add in meal prep. And I have a

199
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: whole podcast episode about meal planning, but let me just

200
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: give you a quick summary because it'll help as we

201
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: discuss this. So when it comes to meal planning, if

202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: you're a person who knows you should meal plan, but

203
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: you hate meal planning, this is what I suggest. The

204
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: key to successful meal planning is to make it as

205
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: simple as possible, and to set yourself up for success

206
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: by establishing a routine. So I like to set a

207
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: specific time each week to do this task. I literally

208
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: set a timer on my phone. It is for nine

209
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: pm on Thursday nights, and that is when I do

210
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: my meal planning. And I always started in my kitchen.

211
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: In fact, that's the night my husband puts the kids

212
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: to bed and I listen to a favorite podcast that

213
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: comes out on Thursdays. And that's called temptation bundling when

214
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: you take one task that you think you don't like,

215
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: like meal planning, and you combine it with a task

216
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: you do like, like listening to your favorite podcast, and

217
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: it makes the whole experience more enjoyable. And if you

218
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: guys have been listening to me for a while, you

219
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: know I always suggest shopping your kitchen first, so opening

220
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: your fridge, your freezer, your pantry, seeing what you have

221
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: on hand, and allowing that to be your clues or

222
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: help you take away some of that decision fatigue when

223
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: it comes to determining what you're going to make that week.

224
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: So I like to do that. I answered you what's

225
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: for dinner question once a week on Thursday nights, versus

226
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: every single night. And I'm telling you, it's the decision

227
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: fatigue that's the worst park. So by doing this, we

228
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: really eliminate that and it makes such a big difference.

229
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: I've got my laptop open in the kitchen, and anything

230
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I need to add to complete the meal plan, I

231
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: add in my grocery shopping cart, I place my online

232
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: grocery order, and it is just the best system for me.

233
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: Probably takes me thirty minutes start to finish, and I

234
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: don't have to do bedtime that night, which is really

235
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: really great. So maybe you're someone who does feel confident

236
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: in meal planning. You've got a system, whether it's on

237
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: a Thursday or a Saturday or Sunday, but you feel

238
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: like you're pretty good at planning meals. But you know

239
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: this next season is going to be crazy, and you

240
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: want to maybe do a little bit of meal prep,

241
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: whether that's on the weekends or at the beginning of

242
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the week, that you can just reach for to make

243
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: dinner time even easier. Meal prep is awesome, it's so great.

244
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: It's a lifesaver for so many people, but it can

245
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: feel overwhelming really easily. So this is my best advice

246
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to meal prep for people who think

247
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: they're too busy to meal prep, and I've been that

248
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: person before. Start small, Start small. I don't suggest trying

249
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: to meal prep four meals a week or five meals

250
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a week if you've never done it before. I suggest

251
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: meal prepping one or two meals a week that you

252
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: know you're gonna like. You know it's gonna work for

253
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: your whole family. And simple, simple, simple, pick simple recipes

254
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,359
Speaker 1: that work for your stage of life. Not every recipe

255
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: or meal you make or serve your family has to

256
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: be elaborate. It really doesn't. Simple food is delicious. Simple

257
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: food should be celebrated right and honestly, sometimes when we

258
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: keep it really simple, it's an easy way to really

259
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: put together a very balanced meal. And so I wanted

260
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: to share this formula that I use when I do

261
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: meal prepping. And this kind of coincides with the lunch

262
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: conversation because in a way, I do this when I

263
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: pack my kids school lunches, in that I try to

264
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: provide a balanced meal. So the formula is a protein,

265
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: a veggie, and a carp It's so simple that I,

266
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like a moment, but when

267
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm meal prepping I think about a protein. This could

268
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: be anything from chicken, salmon, shrimp, ground meat, whatever. That

269
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: could be chickpeas if I'm not doing that, or beans

270
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: or something like that. A veggie. Right now, the biggest

271
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: hits for us are bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, asparagus, even

272
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: something like that. And then carp it's gonna be something

273
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: like a rice or another grain like farrow, sweet potatoes, tortillas, pasta.

274
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: And it's almost like a game of mixing and matching.

275
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Right So, if I'm looking at all these options here,

276
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: and maybe it's my refrigerator that's giving me those clues,

277
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know what works all together? Chicken, broccoli,

278
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: and rice. I can do that. I can do that.

279
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: I can take a rotisserie chicken, I can steam some broccoli,

280
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: I can roast some broccoli, and I can prep this

281
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: rice or farro or whatever it may be. That's super easy.

282
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: So that's usually how I build a base. But then

283
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: what's very important is I do not want you eating

284
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: bland food. I like you too much to suggest plan food.

285
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: So if you're going to use this formula, I suggest

286
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: a flavor booster and forgive me for the cheesy phrase

287
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I should have thought longer and harder about something that

288
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: wasn't cheesy. But we are calling these flavored boosters, so

289
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: let's use this just for the sake of an example.

290
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Our chicken, broccoli, and rice. There's a couple of combinations

291
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: that I really like, For example, lemon juice and garlic.

292
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Those just go well together, right, and those have lots

293
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: of flavor on their own. So maybe I'm going to

294
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: add a little garlic in the rice, or I'm going

295
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: to toss the broccoli with garlic and lemon juice before

296
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I roast it. Or maybe I'm going to do a

297
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: little marinade of olive oil, lemon juice and garlic for

298
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: my chicken. Though that would be consider it a flavor booster.

299
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Other ideas for boosters would be lime juice and cilantro.

300
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Maybe we're gonna take a Mexican take on this, right,

301
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: or this is a big hit with my kids. Honey

302
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: and whole grain mustard. Well, honey mustard action, tell me

303
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: that's not delicious. If we took some honey, some whole

304
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: grain mustard, and a little bit of olive oil, and

305
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: we grilled our chicken in advance, and we served that

306
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: with roasted broccoli and rice. That's a delicious meal and

307
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: it is simple. Okay, So that one aryake sauce such

308
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: a big hit with my kids right now. They loved

309
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: they loved the what is it? The soyak a Trader

310
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: Joe's is the brand that they love so much. And

311
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: then the very very teryoke low sodium option also fantastic.

312
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: And then another big one is curry paste, powder and

313
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: coconut milk. So that's another way to add a lot

314
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: of flavor in a really simple way. But I just

315
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: want to emphasize that good food does not have to

316
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 1: be complicated. And so if you are feeling like you

317
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: want to do some meal prep but you're overwhelmed about

318
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: finding a recipe, you might not even need a recipe.

319
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: You just need a formula meal prep, a protein, a veggie,

320
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: and a carp and figure out a flavor booster to

321
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: make it all come together. And if you can build

322
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: this muscle, it's such a valuable muscle to have. This

323
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: may not even be dinner, This might be lunch for

324
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: you throughout the week. Right So if you were to

325
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: cook off roast off some salmon or some shrimp and

326
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: just have that ready to go or chicken, whatever it

327
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: may be, it really is very easy to pair with

328
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: veggies and carbs. So think about that, and then I

329
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: have shared this before and it's always gotten a big

330
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: response from people. But my favorite freeze or meal prep

331
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: includes this method very simply where I'll take chicken breast

332
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: and I actually use my kids and sheers and I

333
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: just kind of cut it up into bite sized pieces

334
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: and a bunch of veggies. So think of soft veggies,

335
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: not so much like swee potatoes, but like cruciferous vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower,

336
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: bell peppers, onions, carros, like things like that. And you

337
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: create freezer bags where you've got your raw chicken, your veggies,

338
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: and then you add different marinades and then the real

339
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I shared there was three different marinaides. I did a

340
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: Taryak sauce, I did an Italian, and I did like

341
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: a cilantral line and then you freeze those flat and

342
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: they are just like ready to go. And what's great

343
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: about these is you can turn them into so many

344
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: different types of meals. For example, a stir fry, so

345
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: you can before you had to work in the morning,

346
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: pull that baby out, put it in your fridge, your

347
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: pack of the chicken and the veggies and the marinade,

348
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: and then when you get home, you can toss it

349
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: together in a skillet, serve it over rice. Bam, you

350
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: have got yourself a stir fry, or maybe you don't

351
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: feel like stir fry. Maybe you're gonna put it on

352
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: a sheet pan and you are going to do fajitas

353
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: with tortillas and the fixing for Mexican food. Great idea.

354
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: Or let's say you're going to do PETA's right. I

355
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: have a delicious chicken petas from Recipe Lovers, So yummy,

356
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: same thing. You could do petas with a little satziki

357
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: sauce and some lemon in and it would be so yummy.

358
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of different things you can do

359
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: for this really simple freezer meal prep. So if you're

360
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: interested in meal prep, that might be a great place

361
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: to start. And I mentioned freezer because that's just how

362
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: I do them most often. But you don't have to

363
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: freeze them. If you're going to cut up chicken veggies

364
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: put them in a marinade, you probably have two three days,

365
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: depending on how much acidity is in your marinade, where

366
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: that can just kind of sit and hang out in

367
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: the fridge, So keep that in mind. But I've got

368
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: to reel about it that I'll be sure to link

369
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: to in the show notes. But it's a really simple

370
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: method and one that you can easily do on your own. Now,

371
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: another big question I get is how to meal protein,

372
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: and so here are my best tips there for the

373
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: extra busy mom. A rotissary chicken is your new best friend,

374
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: or maybe it's been your best friend for a while.

375
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: Like me, I buy one weekly and whether I serve

376
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: it to my family for dinner that night, or I

377
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: shred it and freeze it or set it aside for

378
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: meals throughout the week, it's really really great shortcut ingredient

379
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: to have on hand. When it comes to protein. I

380
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: liked the idea of cooking once to eat twice, so

381
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: double up the protein on any given night that you're cooking,

382
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: set it aside, and that can be a protein for

383
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: the next day. The other thing that has been like

384
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: revolutionary for me lately is this idea of ground meat.

385
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: I know that nothing's new about ground beef, pork, chicken, turkey, whatever,

386
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: but my kids love ground meat. They are big fans

387
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: of like they're way more likely to eat great cooked

388
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: ground meat as opposed to like a big bite of

389
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: chicken breast. And I've just noticed this, and it's the

390
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: Asian lettuce traps from Recipe Club where my kids love those.

391
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: And that's where it's like the light bulb went off

392
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh my gosh, they love this. My

393
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: two year old can almost like spoon it, like scooping it,

394
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: and Nora, who's five, is just way more likely to

395
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: eat protein if it's in that form. And I can

396
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: also like easily added into things. There's another Recipe Club

397
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: recipe this month for a summer veggie and sausage skillet,

398
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: and I just add a little bit of ground sausage

399
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: into the sauce. Other than the fact that it tastes delicious,

400
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: you can hardly tell it's there. And it's a really

401
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: great way to sneak that protein in. And then, last

402
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: but not least, don't forget about bulk pres in your

403
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: pressure cooker, instant pots, slow cooker. Maybe you've got a

404
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: pork tenderloin you want to slow cook all day and

405
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: then use that for a couple of different meals. That's

406
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: a really great tool. Other tools I want to mention

407
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: is if you are going to start doing meal prep,

408
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: make sure you treat yourself to a nice, big cutting

409
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: board if you don't already have one, and a really

410
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: sharp knife, which we talked about last week. Everything you

411
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: need to know about knives, But a big cutting board

412
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: makes slicing, dicing, and chopping veggies so much easier. So

413
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: don't try to do it on a teeny to any one.

414
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 1: You'll feel frustrated and feel like it's much harder than

415
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: it actually is. And then you have probably heard me

416
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: mention how much I love the rubber made Brilliance containers.

417
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: But they have a really great meal prep container that

418
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: is the one I like most, and all of my

419
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: leftover container's food storage containers everything is rubber made Brilliant

420
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: because it all nests together so beautifully and it's complimentary

421
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: to one another, and the lids are the same size,

422
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's just like a game of Tetris in this

423
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: big kitchen drawer I have, and it makes me so happy.

424
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: So if you don't like the storage containers that you

425
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: have right now and you're looking to replace them, I

426
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: just don't have enough good things to say about the

427
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: rubber made brilliant series comes in glass and plastic and

428
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: they're all really really great. Remember, meal planning and meal

429
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: prepping are different, and if you are not really comfortable

430
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: with the habit ritual routine of meal planning, don't try

431
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: to jump into meal prepping. It might last you a

432
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: week or two, but you will likely fall out of

433
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the habit because it's hard. It really is hard, but

434
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: kind of like exercise, once you get in the habit

435
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: of doing it, you're so glad that you're doing it

436
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: because it does make you feel so much better, meaning

437
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: that you're not constantly stressed about what you're making for dinner.

438
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: You feel like you've got shortcuts throughout the week. Like

439
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: it's a really, really great thing to do. But it

440
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: does take a little bit of effort to get in

441
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: that habit. All right, New episodes will job every Thursday

442
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: of Kitchen Prescription. In the meantime, I love to hang

443
