In OXO Food Diaries, we gave friends of the brand our new Prep & Go reusable food containers (and accessories) to see how they stood up to everyday life. Here's how Melody used Prep & Go for a week of meals, work and family time.
Day 1:
Prepared lunch for Vic while making dinner. Chicken teriyaki meatballs, rice, pesto zucchini and raspberries. I even added a sauce to add to the meatballs but packed it separately so they don't get soggy.
Day 2:
Taco salad is always a great hit with my family so I made extra to take for lunch. It's so easy to keep all the ingredients separate so I can still enjoy a crisp salad at work. I was planning to take some fresh raspberries but the kids finished all the raspberries that I had planned to take to work. They were washed and prepped in the fridge and they ate every single one!!
Day 3:
On Wednesday I had a 12-hour shift at night. I prepped ahead of time by packing(Opens in a new window) my favorite foods and snacks. Salmon, couscous, peppers and ranch and of course a cupcake. At 1:00 am I finally get a break. I heated up my salmon and couscous and ate in the break room. That cupcake gave me an extra surge of energy to finish my shift.
