Intentions for the Week:

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Happy Monday, friends!

We are the 10th week of 2019. It’s the first full week of March too. Wahoo!  The light is changing in the mornings out here in California. Are you feeling it where you are too?  Friendly reminder that we’re going to lose an hour with daylight savings this weekend. Spring is on its way around here!   I’m looking forward to March although Mercury will be in retrograde for most of it so it should be a wildly (annoying) time!  I mean it is, if you believe in that sort of thing. Which I do….

Over the weekend we had basketball and we did a bunch of work. We got to see my Dad and I was able to do some meal prep for the week!

I cleaned out the fridge like I always do on Sundays and this is what I came up with:

Shutterbean Meal Prep #shutterbeanmealprep by Tracy Benjamin

This week’s Meal Prep Includes:

I hadn’t meal prepped in two weeks and it was really throwing everything off. I’m glad we’re entering the week with some good food options. This should get us through a few meals.

    Dear Tracy,
    as always, your Intention for the week inspire me and help me focus on my own!

    Now, I have a question on meal prep, that’s been on my mind for some time. You often say something like “I cleaned out the fridge and did some meal prep” So, meal prep is basically using up produce that got left behind during the week? Or do you buy vegetables etc. with the purpose of meal prep?

    I’m a dedicated meal planner and therefore rarely have a lot of surplus, that I could use for meal prepping, especially for a family of four. Like, all this delicious looking food in your picture above would never be possible with the things left in our fridge at a random sunday…

    So, do you plan the meal prepping or even shop intentionally for it? It doesn’t sound like it, but I’m so curious.

    Thanks a lot! Sina

    Thanks for linking to the apricot glazed chicken recipe! It was a great reminder to try it – I made it tonight and it was fab! Love your commenter’s suggestion do add sliced jalapeño.
