"Preppy" isn't just about clothing, but it is about being neat and clean and classic. 

What does that have to do with weight loss surgery?

Last night I attended a Pampered Chef party.  Now, I love Pampered Chef.  I have most all the stuff they offer, but last night I discovered something I could use to help me along in my new endeavor to get back on track. 

Prep cups! 

yeah...it's perfect for those of us whose eating is measured in cups...

These cups are little prep bowls and come with a lid for storage.  I thought it would be great for measuring out portions, especially when it comes to saving left overs. 

My next idea is to do more "prep" or preparation in the kitchen before mealtimes so I don't get caught in the trap of not having enough time, just making meals go a little faster and planning ahead to elimanate a diet disaster. 

One idea I had is to make meals ahead and use the "prep cups" to portion out my meals, for the fridge or freezer.  I am thinking about doing that "cook ahead" deal...you know, where you cook all your meals at one time and use them during the week or freeze for a month...

I purchased the one cup size. I think they are perfect for the bariatric kitchen!

I need some ideas on how I can take this idea to the max...share your ideas! I would love to hear from you. 

Get "preppy"... yes we can!
