Prep work

We have an insane few weeks leading up to Easter, which will also include my inlaws visiting for a week or more. So apparently the culmination of several goals of mine have forced the rubber to hit the road as far as kitchen preparation is concerned.

More bone broth: I love slow cooked (as in a couple of days) chicken broth. It makes me feel good. It makes my belly feel good.

Cleaner eating: less processed crap in my belly, and eventually the rest of the family's as well.

Saving money on food: buying in bulk during sales, not letting bought food go bad before it is used, maximizing nutrients per dollar value.

Cooking more: self explanatory.

Accessibility: having good food available, given our tendencies to eat junk when it's "too hard" to eat well.

Time management: I'd like to not spend my life in the kitchen, both in general and especially when we have company.

Weekly meal plans don't work for us long term for a variety of reasons. But we have meals that are regular here, and being able to do things to capitalize on that is a goal as well. I'll spell it all out tomorrow after I make a few final decisions and actions.

But I'm feeling really, really good about how I'm getting a handle on this. Like, really, I feel like I'm rocking the world.
