Shutterbean Meal Prep Lists

turning prep into a creative pratice

Part of my SUNDAY TO DO LIST involves meal prepping. It’s driven by my quest to clean out the fridge and repurpose ingredients. I make a list of what I did so I can keep track. I love having data!

Last year I started using a hobonichi techo as a daily art practice tool. This year I am using a bigger version called the hobonichi cousin. It’s full of TO-DO lists, meal prep lists, photos, and art. I make a list of what I meal prepped so I can have data to look back on.

I use these cute little animal tabs I bought in Japantown in SF many years ago to mark every meal prep list in my planner. They make me ridiculously happy. Look at all their little faces!

Let’s get into it.

These are the ones from 2024 so far:

Here are some from 2023:

I think I have about 30 of them from the past year. It’s fun to l; look at the trends and see what I always like to have in them.

If you want more meal prep/planning ideas, I have a Meal Prep/Planning Pack in my Etsy Shop!
