all about prepping meals not to be
0:20
confused with meal prepping some of you
0:22
follow me on Instagram
0:24
you wonder how do I have all these epic
0:27
meals when I'm coming home late at night
0:30
after work or having some busy breakfast
0:33
sandwiches all these things every single
0:36
day I follow these tips which always
0:41
helps me stay ahead and really making
0:44
these meals easy I'm gonna talk all
0:46
about what I do to get everything
0:49
prepped up and I'll show you how
0:51
prepping and following these small tips
0:54
will make cooking any dish fun for you
0:57
so let's get started right now since you
1:05
are beginners these small tips will
1:07
really help you get the confidence to
1:09
cook whatever you want to eat so to tell
1:13
you more about what I mean by prepping
1:14
meals and really setting yourself up for
1:17
success let's say you want to make a
1:20
recipe with checking most recipes use
1:23
nice round numbers such as firing angle
1:26
chicken 250 grams of chicken 1 kilo of
1:29
chicken so what I like to do I love my
1:32
chicken so I portion everything right
1:34
after groceries in 250 gram portions and
1:37
whenever you need to make food you
1:40
already have that chicken measured so
1:42
just take it out and it's there let's go
1:45
to save you 5 minutes of portioning
1:47
chicken and sing or do I have the right
1:49
amount of meat another example is I hate
1:53
when I buy a pack of bacon and over
1:58
three or four days after the pack has
2:00
been opened the bacon starts to become
2:02
brown it's disgusting
2:05
even though it's not bad it just
2:06
discolors so super simple solutions to
2:11
that that I discovered I simply rolled
2:13
each bacon into a cigar and I put it in
2:17
a ziplock and I froze it so if a recipe
2:20
needs two slices of bacon I can take two
2:23
slices of bacon from the freezer defrost
2:25
it and it'll be beautiful and nothing is
2:28
gonna go bad another thing when I make
2:31
I make a bunch of none I make 20 nods I
2:34
freeze the dough balls whenever I want
2:37
all I have to do you take the non out
2:40
defrost it and roll it out and eat it
2:43
fresh and I follow the same technique
2:46
with so many other things like homemade
2:49
pizzas English muffins burger buns
2:52
dinner rolls pan pizza dough's it's just
2:55
always there for me so by prepping me
2:58
ahead of time and setting yourself up I
3:00
don't mean you cook the food and you
3:03
freeze it or you put it in the fridge
3:04
I'm still eating fresh food but just I
3:08
put a little extra work so it's ready
3:11
for me when I need it and I always
3:12
choose to do this when I have some free
3:16
so the when the busy and the hectic
3:18
times do come you never slack off on
3:20
what you eat does you need good food to
3:23
succeed in whatever you have to stress
3:25
about whatever you have to put hard work
3:27
in so some other things that you can do
3:30
to get ahead when you're making a new
3:32
dish when you're making something that
3:35
has lots of components is when you have
3:36
free time here and there or pre grate
3:39
the cheese make a quick sauce so when it
3:42
comes time to put it all together you
3:45
have it already filled like recently
3:47
I've made deep-dish pizzas so when it
3:49
came time to make the actual pizza I
3:53
have the sauce ready the cheese very the
3:55
sausage ready just assembling two pieces
3:59
I love having breakfast sandwiches so
4:02
when I do I make a big batch of sausages
4:05
make them into patties put them on sheet
4:09
pans and freeze it and then just when
4:13
just put it in some ziplock and
4:14
breakfast sandwich sausages are ready
4:17
for me whenever I wanted in the morning
4:20
I have my English muffin in the freezer
4:21
sauce in the freezer I make the eggs
4:23
fresh I really want to get at is doing
4:27

4:30
chill time a relaxed experience in
4:33

4:35
components are all ready it's there for
4:38
