![]() “My partner needs much larger serving sizes than me! How can I get this right?” What to do: Choose recipes that can easily be altered to suit your dietary needs. Every recipe (we have over 400) comes with vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore options. If you need help cooking meals that satisfy vegans, vegetarians, AND carnivores, I recommend looking into the WWL Meal Prep Program. You can add soyrizo and veggie sausage or meat sausage and chorizo to the same meal to make one vegetarian and one carnivore. For example, you can cook chicken AND tofu on a sheet pan and produce roughly the same flavor. Many plant-based proteins used in meal prep require similar cooking methods as animal proteins. I often prep the same meal with both plant-based protein and animal protein just for the sake of variety. If you both like similar carbs and veggies, changing the protein is a breeze. I hope with these tips, you’ll avoid that headache.Īs I mentioned in the first tip, finding common ground here is essential. I grew up in a house that was just like this: my mom is vegetarian, my dad is a carnivore, and my mom would cook several different meals to please everyone all the time. “I’m a vegetarian and my partner is a carnivore.” What to do: Leave a little room for spontaneity in your meal plan, or try a buffet-style meal prep to mix things up. Check our master list of protein, veggies and carbs for ideas of what to make for a buffet prep. This strategy is an especially great option for couples that need a larger variety in meal prep. It’s ideal for anyone who craves variety in meals more than anything else but doesn’t want to cook every day either. ![]() Buffet meal preps involve cooking ingredients separately (a big batch of grilled chicken, a big batch of rice, a big batch of roasted veggies, etc.) so that you’re able to build meals as you go. It’s a balance that you can only learn to master through trial and error, and every couple is different!Īnother idea worth trying is a buffet-style meal prep. Prepping this way will keep your meals varied and you interested! I encourage my community to prep twice a week (Sunday and Wednesday) instead of just once (or to prep only for a few days and leave the rest open for spontaneity), because it prevents your meals from becoming too repetitive. I get that! Variety in food is fun, but when your partner needs it more than you (or vice versa) meal prep can be really tough. Not everyone loves the somewhat repetitive nature of meal prep. “My partner gets bored easily and I can eat the same thing for days.” What to do: Find out what you both like and construct meals based on those ingredients. But it’s so much easier to do when you have a foundation of what you BOTH like first. Will you still have to cook separate meals or ingredients sometimes? Yes. Then, use that list to plan meal pr eps and single meals with elements you both enjoy. It would be easier to prepare meals that incorporate ingredients you both like (in this case potatoes) than cooking two completely different recipes to please both of you all the time.ĭiscuss ingredients and cuisines you’re both open to and enjoy. ![]() Mashed potato, baked potato, potato soup… the list goes on. If you and your partner have varying tastes, it’s best to focus on what you have in common instead of what you don’t, especially when it comes to food.įor example, let’s say you both LOVE potatoes in all shapes and forms. It can make cooking or even deciding where to eat at a restaurant really difficult! Most of the time, we’re challenged with the fact that we have different tastes and preferences than our partners. “How can I make meals that both of us want to eat?”
