Episode notes
Megan's Post-Travel Eating Struggle
- Megan travels frequently for work and enjoys adventurous eating on trips but struggles to maintain healthy home cooking after returning.
- She often overbuys produce from the market trying to reset healthfully but wastes food due to poor planning.
Freeze Prepped Vegetables
- Prep vegetables immediately upon purchase by chopping, blanching, and freezing them to extend their usability.
- Use frozen prepped vegetables for quick meals like stir fries on days when time is limited after travel.
Marinate Veggies Before Cooking
- Avoid fully cooking vegetables during prep; instead peel, chop, and marinate them to keep them fresh and versatile.
- Marinated veggies can be roasted quickly when needed, making meal prep low-effort and flavorful.
