What If Meal Prep Didn’t Feel Like a Second Job?

You’re not alone if you’ve felt this before:

• “I want to batch cook... but not eat leftovers all week.”

• “I don’t have the time—or the fridge space.”

• “Meal prep always sounds good… until I actually try it.”

As a busy working mom, I’ve had all those thoughts too.

I used to think meal prep meant rigid plans, identical containers, and eating the same lentil curry five days in a row. And for years, that belief kept me from finding a rhythm that worked.

But everything changed when I reframed the goal:
Prep components, not meals. Think building blocks, not full blueprints. A little structure, a lot of flexibility—and always, always enough protein to keep you full.

Whether you’re cooking for one, a partner, or a whole family, this 1-hour video will help you batch smart, eat better, and never dread “what’s for dinner?” again.

This workshop is a peek into how I cook every day: with intention, efficiency, and joy.
