Prep for Success

As of last week my life has become insane again.  Mark and I are working long hours and that means we don't want to make dinner when we get home (aka McDonald's tempts us as we drive past on the way home).  So tonight I decided to actually prepare everything on our weekly menu board ahead of time.  See, last summer when things got busy I purchased a menu board so that I could have the meals planned and Mark could help make them.  We've been pretty good about using it still, but not as proactively as we could.

So today I put a turkey fillet in the crock pot with some organic chicken broth.  This was basically like a roast.  It resulted in BBQ turkey sandwiches tonight for dinner, and we have shredded turkey for couscous later this week and sliced turkey for more sandwiches too.  A delicious and healthy way to kill three meals (birds) with one crockpot (stone).

Next I got the meat prepared for my favorite asian turkey lettuce wraps.  Man, this stuff smells so good I had a hard time saving it for tomorrow night.  All we'll have to do tomorrow is heat up the meat, slice the lettuce, and enjoy.

Anyways, it's such a good feeling knowing that we have our meals basically set for the week and totally prepped.  If you're as busy as us, this might be helpful for you too!
