Meal prep has been a game-changer for busy parents
Some of my favorite, quick, go-to meals are:
- Chicken stir fry with loads of veggies. It's simple, healthy, and tasty, plus you can use left over chicken and veg from the night before.
- Chilli con carne is another one - so easy to whip up and lasts for days in the fridge. Plus it tastes better the longer it sits! Just add some rice or noodles and dinner is served.
- Pasta salads are great too, especially in the summer months. They're quick to make, filling, and can be very versatile - use different shapes of pasta, loads of veggies, and even left over chicken or fish.
My top tip would be to keep it simple! Don't overcomplicate dishes, especially if you're short on time. Also, batch cook and freeze individual portions. That way you have healthy meals ready to go when needed, and it saves so much time and prep work down the line.
