Vietnamese Beef and Riced Veggies

Before I spent my days preparing food for my family and the internet I was a fashion designer and CEO of my own clothing label. When I was 9 months pregnant I made the shaky transition from the world of fashion to the world of a stay-at-home mom.

Surprisingly, I’ve found many similarities in raising toddlers and working within the fashion industry. One such commonality is the lack of food.

I often find myself snacking on my kids’ leftovers or skipping lunch altogether. My solution has been to meal prep, which allows me to each delicious wholesome food that provide the energy anyone who is sleep-deprived needs.

How to Make Homemade Hoisin Peanut Sauce

While this Vietnamese Beef and Riced Veggie meal is delicious in and of itself, drenching it in a homemade hoisin peanut sauce is even better. This simple sauce is easy to prepare too. Whisk all the ingredients into a small saucepan and heat until well-combined and sauce begins to thicken.

How to Meal Prep

The brilliance behind meal prep is the benefit of eating real wholesome foods, without having to stop and prepare them daily. If well planned preparing your weekly meals ahead of time can be relatively simple.

  • Choose 1 meal you’re going to happily eat (let me persuade you with the images in this post) for the week. I consider my week for 5 days, but you can do weekends too.
  • Get some meal prep containers. No, they don’t need to be anything fancy, but it’s nice to have containers you use only for your meal prep and that fit together easily in your fridge.
  • Go to the grocery store to get all your ingredients.
  • Choose a day, again I prefer to prep on Sunday, to make your dish and then portion it out in your containers. Store in fridge if necessary
