The last time I did a video sharing our Home Chef meals, a few people commented on my small portion sizes with interest. I've also had some requests over the years to discuss portion control and how I manage my meal portions.
I have partnered with Home Chef on today's video. I'm going to show you four typical dinners and share what I ate and what was left over. This will give you a good idea about the portions I eat. This is the article on the evolution of the size of the Sunday roast that I discuss in the video.
I don't do portion control on purpose and there isn't a particular rhyme and reason to why I choose to eat certain things over others, I am just naturally more full when I have certain types of dishes. If you recall, I did a video on antique dishes vs. modern dishes and portion control a few years ago when I was pregnant with my third child. I'll link that here for your reference.
I'm using the four dishes we made with Home Chef earlier in the month to share my portion sizes. When I first tried out Home Chef, Ben was out of the country, but I knew he had to try it. Ben loved it more than I do and we have since become customers! It's been a big blessing for me because Ben enjoys making the meals so much he cooks all of them for me. So there are four meals a week now where I do not have to cook. It is working for us right now and I am really enjoying it!
I hope you enjoy hearing my process in today's video. I also show you how to cook chicken paillard, steak moutarde, spicy southwest shrimp tacos, and bbq chicken ranch pizzas with arugula.
