    To be honest, after a 12.5 hour shift plus my long commute to and from work, coming home to spend more than 30 minutes in the kitchen will be suicidal. Besides it is practically bedtime when I get home. That is why I meal prep. My fridge is loaded so that when I get home I can focus on getting some sleep...which is not so easy anyway. Of course by meal prepping I save us a lot of money ...because those ordered lunches and drive through meals add up quick! Best of all we know what we're eating.

      This is nothing new. Black women have been doing this since they were born. They would cook the food and bring it to the men's work place at noon when everyone ate lunch.
      Back in those days there were no fridge or microwave to warm up the food. Some would put the food in what's called a "carrier". It keeps food warm. Men lived longer back then and they were not overweight.
      Today's women are lazy. They have less house work because they have time saving devices now.
      Women would wash clothes with their hands. It took 3 days to finish.

But I'm no longer living there and have long work days, so time is not available to do the same thing as a stay at home mom will do.

    Absolutely amazing, inspiring and impactful! Sooo motivational as to what you can achieve if you make time to do first things first. Saves so much time, energy so you can do other things during the week in a stress free way. Fantastic.
    One request….could you label the dishes somehow so we can see what each is? That would be extremely helpful, esp for some people who may not recognise the ingredients. Thank you. Keep on being so creatively organised and inspirational.

    God Bless you! This is how I was raised and what is normal to me and my husband was raised on a farm so was used to it also! We raised 3 children and I cooked 6 days a week from scratch and even when the kids had hockey at dinner time, I would feed the kids early and prepare a plate for my husband to eat at the arena when he arrived there after work. I can tell you that my kids have good eating habits and are so grateful for it, even though they complained there were no Dunkaroos or pop tarts in the house like the neighbours. Lol. This was my love language also but I called it a labour of love! I had the privilege of staying home but for busy working parents or single moms, it's worth it to prep in batches for the week like washing meats and chopping vegetables--huge time time saver when preparing meals.

Friends, let's all unite & encourage our men, brothers, fathers, nephews, etc. to find joy in what they r preparing in the kitchen. Just like how we women can learn something new from another culture, men can too. What would we ladies do if there were no men. We love them & in all aspects of life, we have to show appreciation for them. We don-t want to feel less. Like I said before, it's how they were brought up from youth. However, it's still not too late for those who can't cook, to learn. We love everybody!

    However, your consistency in providing your husband's homemade meals outlived him & his claim.. which in actuality was a curse spoken against your marriage, that was uttered out of envy.
