Around this time of year, lots of people are thinking through their routines. Meal planning is a big part of this — a constant quest to get a meal on the table most nights in the middle of everyone’s busy schedules.
In this week’s episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah interviews Allison Schaaf, founder of PrepDish, a company that provides menus and shopping lists for various tastes and dietary needs. Allison talks about running a business while raising her kids, and her guidelines for prepping ahead of time. She talks about her favorite kitchen tools and how to re-use ingredients.
In the Q&A we brave the waters of a debate between a listener and her husband: Do swimsuits and towels need to be washed after every pool visit?
Please give the episode a listen and let us know what’s on your meal rotation these days. In my house, we’ve been doing pasta on Mondays, breakfast for dinner on Wednesdays and make-your-own-pizza on Fridays…
I usually cook a fake-away on a Friday (eg home made pizza or burgers) and a roast on Sunday. Otherwise I meal plan according to time available – v quick meals on days I am in the office, crock pot when lots of evening activities scheduled, something more elaborate on a Saturday if not much else planned – and then try to get some variety in so we don’t end up eating chicken every day.
