Holiday Week Meal Planning

Meal planning for this week is tiresome so I am getting on my game today and tomorrow.  I am preparing 7 dinner meals and also 7 lunches.  They are the same-ish because I prefer it but you could do anything.  Someone here told me to get take-out containers and while it costs $, I prefer these because I can just toss -em when they get gross.

Dinner:

• riced cauliflower, and mock mushroom chicken

Lunch:

• baby frittata w/feta, turkey
• wilted spinach

Takeout containers. Such a great idea.  Have you found some that are reasonably priced but environmental friendly (no styrofoam) and can be used in microwave? Is so  - where do you buy it,? 

For now I use my glass containers..Or jars. But they are both heavy and breakable. Ugh. 

But food does not react to that and I can toss them from a freezer to microwave. And they wash great in dishwasher. 

I actually buy some from a local store called Gordon Food Service.  I prefer glass but it is also too heavy for me.  

I also bought these on Amazon and used them post op for a while, especially for liquidy stuff.  They are 8oz.  They actually last quite a few washes, and they are great for freezing.  The plastic gets brittle eventually.  I do not mind buying new ones every few months, though.   https://www.amazon.com/Freshware-40-Pack-Plastic-Containers- Airtight/dp/B01G7JUPK2/ 

I now use these when I don't use my fitmark stuff, but I get mine from a restaurant supply store.  I actually use it for 3 meals at work not just one which means less for me to wash later (I am so lazy haha): https://www.amazon.com/Freshware-15-Piece-3-Compartments-Ben to-Lunch/dp/B01GH5KQLO/  This actually works the best even though it's big.  I measure into it anyway.  You can get them way cheaper if you have a restaurant supply store near you.  

I also have a small fitmark bag I use with these containers.  They have 16oz smaller ones now, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe.  I will use silicone muffin cups for portions since they don't have a divider.  They are much higher quality than the others but also more expensive.  I'll trade off with the others if I plan too many meals and run out.  Usually though I just use the take out containers since they fit in my bag fine.
