Tips & Tricks
1. Prep with the ingredients you like and foods you enjoy.
2. Always prep/buy based on what is on SALE.
Fruits and veggies on sale are usually the ones that are in season which means they are fresh and full of flavour. This also provides variety and savings of course.
3. Get yourself proper containers!
Always look for ones that are closest to the actual size of your meals and with properly sealing lids. It will limit the amount of air surrounding your food, keeping your precious meals fresher for longer.
