Spicy Chicken Meal-Prep Bowls

I have to confess that I’m really enjoying making meal-preps for the week on Sundays. My life in the kitchen during the week has been so much easier. I don’t need to think about what to pack for my husband’s lunch or what to make for lunch for my son and myself. Also, when you have healthy meals on hand, you won’t end up buying processed foods loaded with salt, preservatives, and artificial flavors. Get ahead of the game. It’s amazing to stay on track.

Some people say they don’t like to spend their free time on Sundays in the kitchen cooking, but actually, you don’t need to spend more than one hour making it. I think it’s well worth the extra effort to meal-prep on the weekend and have your week’s meals planned. This way, your week will be less busy, and you’ll have more time to enjoy your family, eat healthier, and save some money. It’s a win-win situation all around
