Here's how you know if you are ready to graduate from cooking to meal prepping...

-You know how to cook and cook a few days a week or more
-You only cook one meal at a time
-You rarely have leftovers
-Mornings are hectic and you are usually scrambling to figure out what lunch will be
-You grocery shop multiple times a week
-You find yourself throwing food out all the time
-You can't seem to it what you buy, but you never seem to have enough food when it comes time to cook
-You are busy and stressed, and wish you had more time
-You have heard that cooking at home will save you money, but it doesn't seem to work for you

If you are here, it is time to try meal prepping!!

No, meal prepping doesn't mean you have to give up your weekend to stand on your feet all day in the kitchen.

It can be fast, simple, easy.

Easier than you ever thought possible.

I want to show you exactly how.

A lot of times the thought of change can be paralyzing...

So many things that could NOT go right...

Often times that thinking leaves us paralyzed.

BUT....what are you missing out on by not taking action?

Where is your life sitting still?

I see this with health all the time.

My clients are scared to get the tools they need to help them move forward because they're worried about what could go wrong, instead of focusing what could go right!

So, when you give yourself the tools you need what do you think could go right?

Here are all the things I see go right for my clients:

~ You learn something new
~ You have fun
~ You get your family involved in learning a new skill
~ You lose weight
~ You have a healthy lunch ready to go for you
~ You start saving money because you invested in yourself!
~ You have a few extra hours in the evenings you didn't have before

Let's find out what could go right for you when you invest in yourself!

What does more time mean for you?

More play time with your kids
A long walk with your husband after work
Netflix & chill
A nap
Watching the sunset with a cocktail
Time to work on your side hustle
An extra episode of Ozark
An extra $500 a month

You want more of this, but your busy schedule usually succeeds in making you decide between you time and get-it-done time.

Get-it-done time wins.

I have spent my career watching this in others and working to solve it.

Solving it means streamlining a part of your life that has the ability to give you more me time, more family time, better health and more money.

And it's actually not complicated to do, you have just never been taught how.

In four steps, I can show you how to plan, shop, execute and stock your house with a fridge full of healthy meals that will give you the me time you want.

If you have tried to clean up your diet before and failed, it’s because you weren’t specific enough!

I see so many people go down this path- they decide they want to eat better, maybe choose a recipe or two, hit the grocery store and by day three they are back to pizza for dinner and feeling super guilty about it.

There is no shame there, my friend!

Here’s how you can prevent that next time: make a list of the foods that will make up 90% of your diet, and then plan ahead for when you’ll be having the indulgent 10%.

What foods make you feel best? Write them all down. Now find recipes that include those foods and do your meal prepping.

This simple process cuts down on temptation SO MUCH!

It makes a diet change really easy. Don’t leave it to chance or for you to make a healthy decision in t moment- that never works! This process does work.

STOP FOR A SECOND.

When was the last time you paused and took a look at how far you have come?

How much you have grown since last year, how much weight you have lost, how many dietary changes you've made, how much more mature you are than yesterday ().

This plate pictured here is the sign I made for the original Basically It Meals before it was Basically It Meals.

4 years ago, it was called "The $6 Lunch". I would bulk batch my own meal prep and then take it to work each week and sell it to my coworkers. I hung this plate up at my cubicle to let them know when I had a batch to sell.

That is how far I've come.....from $6 lunch offered to coworkers, to full time business owner, to online course purveyor, to producer and TV personality.

We are all capable of INCREDIBLE CHANGE but so often we are stuck in "I haven't done enough", "I am not enough", "I will never get there".

So, stop for just one second today and give yourself a pat on the back for all the BAD ASS work you have put in!

I am so...

A month ago I was completely out of running shape. I could barely make it five minutes.

Yesterday, I ran two hilly miles in 14mins and I wasn’t even that winded.

That’s what a little practice will do.

What are you practicing every day?

Are you learning how to be better? How to live better? Practicing creating more time in your life? Practicing creating more money?

You can have all of that and it doesn’t have to cost you a lot of time or money.

If you can get organized in just one area of your life everything else will fall into place.

For my clients, that is organizing their food each week.

Cecily is getting 6+ hours back every week.  Ryan is saving 30% on food costs each week. Denise is sticking to her keto diet and losing weight consistently.

A little practice goes a long way!

Good things don’t come easy...

I was sweating my butt off at the gym today, kind of regretting being there, when this thought hit me.

If I want to feel the way I want to feel this summer, I’m probably going to have to go through it. Feel discomfort. Sweat. Skip dessert.

This goes for saving money, getting more free time each week, committing to meal prepping.

The work you put in upfront might not be easy.

You might even need to invest money upfront to get these things...
But if the result is worth it, then the “hard part” isn’t so bad.

I challenge you to do the hard thing today- invest in yourself, sweat, go through the pain.

It’s worth it on the other side.

Join the meal prep course and you will definitely give yourself the gift of time and money on the other side!

This is a fantastic recipe when you are prepping for the week!
