Welcome back to the When Dreams & Action Collide podcast! I’m your host, Joy Lanae, your Productivity Powerhouse, and we’re continuing our “Get it Together at Home” series. Last week, we focused on Clearing the Clutter, tackling the physical stuff in our homes to create more space and peace. This week, we’re moving into the kitchen to discuss a topic that has revolutionized the way I handle meals: Meal Prepping vs. Food Prepping.
Ever find yourself stuck in a food funk, staring at your fridge with no idea what to cook? I’ve been there, and that’s when I discovered the power of food prepping. It’s not just about making meals in advance, but about preparing ingredients so you can easily whip up a variety of dishes throughout the week. I’ll break down the difference between meal prep and food prep, how each can fit into your routine, and why having both in your toolkit can save you time, reduce stress, and keep your meals fresh and enjoyable.
In this episode, I’ll share my personal journey from strictly meal prepping to embracing food prep, and how it’s helped me stay flexible, avoid food waste, and make meal times smoother, especially with kids in the mix. I’ll also give you practical tips on how to start prepping, whether you’ve got a whole weekend afternoon or just a spare 20 minutes while dinner is cooking.
Whether you’re a kitchen enthusiast or someone who’d rather spend as little time as possible cooking, this episode will give you the strategies you need to simplify meal times, keep your fridge stocked with ready-to-use ingredients, and take the guesswork out of what’s for dinner.
