Sunday = Meatday

Life gets busy. So often I hear my clients say that they just don't have time to make meals from scratch everyday, and I have to agree. Most of us don't! But that's not an excuse. All it means is that you have to be better prepared and plan ahead.

The toughest part of cooking under a time crunch is prepping the protein for dinners. Rather than thawing and cooking it every night, instead I block off an hour or two every Sunday to cook up a bunch of protein for the week. Typically I'll make a tray of chicken breasts, a package of extra lean ground turkey or beef and 3 or 4 salmon or tilapia fillets. This not only saves me extra cooking time, but I only have to clean up once. Highly worth it!
