Put an end to overeating, overspending and overthinking with meal prepping! Your body and wallet will thank you.
Like most of us, you might go into a new week with the intentions of making healthy eating choices, but as the week progresses you notice that you turn to the convenience of fast food or take out. Constantly eating out is not only bad for your health but it also negatively impacts your finances and wastes precious hours of your week.
If you are ready to change your unhealthy eating habits, it might be time to get serious about meal prepping and enjoy the many additional benefits that come with it.
Here are 3 reasons you should start meal prepping ASAP:
1. Great for Your Diet
By prepping healthy meals ahead of time you will save yourself from the daily temptations of junk food, fast-food drive-thrus, and the occasional doughnuts waiting for you in the office’s break room. Meal prepping gives you the advantage of knowing exactly what you are eating and allows you to control the portions you consume. So say goodbye to overeating and hello to nutritious fresh meals. Pinterest is full of great meal prep recipes, check some out here: Meal Prep Ideas.
2. You’ll Save Time
Meal prepping involves planning and dedicating a few hours of your Sunday to cook and store your meals for the week. In return, you no longer have to waste time worrying about what to cook for dinner, stopping at the grocery store multiple times a week, or having to leave your office to grab lunch every day. Meal prepping allows you to save precious time each week and lets you focus on the other things that matter in your life.
3. You’ll Save Money
Save money on groceries, take out, and gas by meal prepping. By planning your meals ahead of time you’ll save money on groceries each week because you will only buy the ingredients you need. This will also reduce the number of groceries that go to waste. Meal prepping will also help you stop eating out or grabbing take-out on the way home every night. Planning for the week will also reduce trips to grocery stores and restaurants, which means you’ll also save on gas.

We want our students to have the best possible scholastic experience possible, which we can enhance by creating the perfect study and homework space for them when they get home at the end of each school day.
“We know that many of our homebuyers are young and growing families, which is why many of our home designs incorporate extra spaces designed to work as the perfect space for homework,” said Bill Salvesen, Division President for Lennar Seattle. “From lofts to built-in tech stations, there are so many ways to create the perfect study location in your new home.”
Many of our home designs come with loft spaces in addition to the main living room. You can transform a loft space into the perfect homework zone and after-school hangout area by adding couches, a television and desks up against one of the wall.

Our modern kitchens also provide plenty of counter space! Many of them feature oversized kitchen islands with enough room at the end to double as a breakfast bar for quick meals in the morning or to do homework on at the end of the school day.
Mudrooms in select floorplans also create an organized space. So that in the morning, jackets, shoes and backpacks are all ready to go as you walk out the door. And when the kids arrive home, they have a designated spot for their belongings.
Built-in tech desks are also featured in some of our home designs. The perfect place to set-up the family computer so the kids can use it for research, homework and special projects.
