Prepping!

Another weekend of culinary prepping has descended upon me! So far today, I've made slow cooker fried rice, chili, herbed tomato soup, homemade mayo & old fashioned carrot salad (with the homemade mayo!). I've discovered that the more I prep on the weekends, the easier my weekly meals go. So, tomorrow I'll be making slow cooker beef ribs, grapefruit meringue cookies and definitely more breakfast sandwiches.

It's been so wonderful to throw one of my bacon & egg breakfast muffins in my bag & then head off to work...I'm definitely a huge fan of this weekend food prepping thing!

I also made a recipe of Paula Dean's Workaholic's Hot Chocolate...and I must admit, I'm not a fan. It's made like a custard and with all milk...and I've come to the conclusion that I am just a powdered hot chocolate gal! However, I discovered that mixing it with coffee made a lovely mocha...so I put the rest of the batch in the fridge to just purpose. I'm also thinking of freezing some in ice cube trays to see how it works as a milkshake.

The Going Out to Eat Monster has not completely been kicked to the curb, but at least it's only 1-2 times a week instead of 4-5...I'm getting there!

May you have a perfectly prepping weekend too!
