I am the one doing the meal prep in our home, but it works out for us since I love to cook. Occasionally my husband will prepare a meal, but the way we share responsibility for meals is that he takes care of the cleanup!
I’m a complete kitchen hog! The kitchen is my favorite room in the house, and I used to have a hard time sharing it. The older I get, the more I enjoy preparing food with family and friends. I especially like teaching my sons to cook, so now my kitchen is often crowded with chairs and stools so that they can reach the counters to “help.” I’ve loosened up my standards and take more pleasure in the process and experience now.
I do 100% of the meal prep. As such, I find that I make the same 5 meals, 5 nights a week. It’s challenging to venture out of my comfort zone. But with summer coming, and a change in our routine, I’m willing to give this a shot.
Kara,
Great – let us know if it works to change the routine and what you did to change it 🙂
cheers, Sharon
