Hi! Just found your blog! You said you prepare your 5 meals but don't cook them til the day you're having them. Doesn't the raw meat or other ingredients start getting funky? Maybe I'm missing something…not unusual for me :)
I saw your guest post on Leah's blog – wow! I'm very impressed with your 5 meals in 1 hour method! Sounds like something that would be a huge help to me as well!
Jo Ann, I get that question a lot. I think it's just a foreign idea to most of us so it seems like it wouldn't work. I've been doing it every week since January and haven't had any trouble.
Things like meat are sold FRESH in the grocery store. If they can sit in the fridge in the store for several days than they'll keep in our fridge too. :) I do try to watch the sell by date even though it is just a "sell by" date.
One other thing that I started doing was pulling freezer meals for Friday and Saturday most weeks since our schedule is flexible those days and lots of time we end up with other dinner plans.
I try to double EASY meals during my normal meal prep to send one to the freezer and have grown quite a freezer stash. This is awesome for the weekends! :)
Hope you decide to give it a try! You might just love it!! :)
