Winter is well upon us here in Australia, but cold and rainy nights are no excuse to indulge in takeaway dinners every night. If you don't already meal prep, why not dedicate one day of the week preparing dinner meals. Not only will you be better off nutritionally preparing weekly meals, but you will also save heaps of money.
For example, if you are a newbie, we highly recommend you read our
meal prep tips and keep it simple- stick to one day and one meal - until you have gotten into the routine of meal prepping.
To get you started, we are kicking off our winter recipe series with a beef stew recipe.
