Why Should I Meal Prep?

Simply put, it’s how you can achieve your healthy eating goals and save time!

The process of meal prep involves preparing ingredients and meals for the week. The purpose for many is to have healthy ingredients ready to make feeding yourself and your family easier. If you don’t enjoy cooking and would rather spend your time elsewhere, then meal prepping is your golden ticket!

I started meal prep sixteen years ago when I had a baby in the house, and I was also working full time. It made life easier for me during the week, and it was also a lot of fun! My mum or a friend would sometimes pop around and help, and as our children have grown up, they have started helping with the meal prep. It’s a fantastic way to cope with food intolerances as well. When someone has a food intolerance or allergy, a whole new complication arises in the kitchen, and this can be a headache if you already feel uncomfortable cooking!

Meal prep changed my life. It added a few hours a week to my life, and coming home to cook dinner was no longer a chore. It has taught my family how to cook and how much time goes into this, and it has also taught us that it’s a great family thing we can do together. We have also saved a lot of money through meal prep and we are no longer stuck to the same meals every night. We experiment with new dishes and see what new food we enjoy.

What would you do with a few free hours free a week!

I hope you have enjoyed this information.

Until next time,

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.
