Sunday:
Add the following ingredients to separate saran wrap packets for Monday’s dinner: 1 tsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp of green onions, and 1 tsp of minced ginger (ginger only if you decided to buy fresh, otherwise skip the ginger and just add ground ginger to tomorrow night’s dinner). Wrap up the saran wrap baggies and place in a container labeled “Monday: Egg Roll in a Bowl”. Store in the refrigerator.
Clean and trim the green beans for Tuesday’s dinner. Place in a storage bag. Mince 4-8 cloves of garlic and wrap them in a little ball of saran wrap. Add that to the bag of saran wrap with the green beans. Label the bag “Tuesday: Green beans and garlic”. Store in the refrigerator.
Finely chop ½ cup of onion, 1 tbsp garlic, cut 3 cups of carrots in 4-5 inch chunks, and 3 cups of potatoes into quarters (I used a lot more than 3 cups of carrots and potatoes). Place in a storage bag labeled Wednesday: Roast Vegetables. Store in the refrigerator.
NOTE: I skipped the sear on the roast. If you decide to follow the directions, put the onions and garlic in their own container so you can sauté them. I just added everything directly to the crockpot; therefore, I put it all in the same bag.
**Also, my family isn’t a giant fan of potatoes cooked with a roast. I chose to wait to cut up the potatoes and instead, I peeled and cut them and stored them in a bowl of water in the refrigerator on Thursday night. Then Friday I just dumped it into a pot and boiled them and made mashed potatoes. If you need a recipe to make mashed potatoes follow this link.
Chop 2 ribs of celery and 4 cloves of garlic and wrap in saran wrap. Chop 1 yellow onion and put in a storage bag, add the saran wrap of celery and garlic and label it “Friday: Soup Veggies”. Store in the refrigerator.
