Lately I've been doing smoothies. But usually I would have fruit, toast and peanut butter. I'm going to make up some egg cups to reheat for mornings but that's because I don't like hardboiled eggs.
I have been meal prepping today. Went to the Dollar General and bought a ton of divided containers. Lol, one side is stuffed with a roasted vegetable (favorite way to eat them) the other with some chicken.0 -
I have a relatively standard rotation: oatmeal with fruit (maybe some coconut or walnuts), Greek yogurt and fruit, smoothie, eggs with veggies. That's pretty much it. On Pinterest there's
21 DF friendly pancakes, but I haven't tried them yet.0 -
My fridge after meal prepping this weekend.
Very easy to grab and go now! This week isn't starting off the best for me but hopefully this will help with the stress. It's my doubles week for my first round!

These are the eggs recipes I'm going to make up tonight for the week. I'm going to do the "Super Green" version as I bought some broccoli I'd like to use. But I've done similar egg cups and it's great to just reheat and eat!

ohh your fridge makes me so jealous!! And motivated to get going here! :-)0

Your fridge organization is beautiful haha. I love it!0

@Ladybug1250 @synacious Confession time: my second job is at the Container Store. Lol, totally get great ideas from that store for organizing! Also a tip, if you want extra containers with the specific sizes like 21 DF check out their site. They have tons! I like having extra for those days when I haven't gotten around to dishes yet.0

@randilast: I'm glad to see someone else who has La Croix! :-P My fridge has an entire row dedicated to my La Croix addiction...coconut, lemon, and lime! That little stand/holder you have for them is nifty!0
-
La Croix is the best! I've been on that band wagon for years! My favorites are grapefruit and berry.0
-
I love it! It took me some time to get off soda but LA Croix helped. I'm a big fan of the berry and cran-raspberry flavors. I'll have to try the others! Lol, and the beverage dispenser is from the Container store! Love that place!0

This might be a really odd combo to some of you, especially if you do not like pickles. I made plain quinoa and didn't know what I wanted to do with it, and I was in a hurry. I thought anything would do, it just needed some moisture. No broth in the fridge, but there was a jar of pickles. So I poured a little pickle juice in it- just enough to give it moisture, and I have had it 3 more times since then. My husband thinks it sounds disgusting, but its really good! And quick if you make extra quinoa and keep it in the fridge.0

I've been trolling Pinterest boards getting ideas for lunches and dinners. I need to make DH lunch this year (he's a teacher) and that's proving difficult. He'll eat salads, but not every day. And whatever I make needs to be able to be eaten fairly quickly since some days he might only have 5 minutes to scarf down his lunch. I graze all day at work, so, my meals are much easier.0

pickle juice in quinoa sounds pretty good. Ive done it with pineapple juice before too and then added pineapple chucks and raisins, mmm so yummy!0

I feel like i'm struggling a little with the veggies. I tend to overby then not use everything in time and i have to throw stuff away, I HATE THROWING AWAY FOOD. It's just not right :-(
I wish fruit and veggies would last more than a few days so i can have it on hand longer and also not have to shop every three days. grrrr0 -
Try freezing the veggies that you can. I hate wasting food too.0
-
I agree. I buy a mix of frozen and fresh vegetables and make the fresh ones my top priority so they don't go to waste. I had a container of spring mix that started getting a bit watery, so I threw the rest in my Vitamix with carrots, raspberries, and water and drank it instead. When I get berries on sale, I keep one container in the fridge and the other in the freezer. I use the frozen ones for smoothies or if I want to use them in yogurt I defrost them in the fridge overnight and they taste the same as fresh bought ones.0
-
Ohh great idea ladies, thank you! I have spring mix that is just about to turn, ate salad for lunch today and will have it for dinner too. IF some left i will make a smoothie (will a blender do the trick?)0
-
Yes! Any blender should work! I have a Vitamix and a NutriNinja and use both interchangeably. I've blended kale in both and it comes out fine. I only use the Vitamix when I have to blend a lot of items or really hard things like a bunch of baby carrots. For my protein shakes I use my NutriNinja since I can just add the lid and take it on the go.0
-
Thank you for all the great tips ladies! Has anyone purchased the cookbook? I wonder if its any good.
I defrosted and mashed mixed berries last night, then mixed them into plain greek yogurt, and put in freezer for half hour. One red, one purple. Awesome replacement for ice cream.
@Rjpittner..I had curried chicken breast strips for breakfast one day...maybe you can make a wrap out of it to grab n go.0 -
Sorry RJPittner.just realized, vegetarian0
-
You'd be shocked at how great I've gotten at "vegetarian-izing" recipes! :-) tofu, beans, and the Morning Star "chicken" and veggie patties can sub for most any meat!! I always seem to forget about curry-type recipes...my fall back is always Mexican or Italian cuisine, so I will definitely break out the curry and give it a try! Thanks!!0
-
Great, I seasoned the chicken breast strips with sea salt and herbs. Then heated a tablespoon of raw coconut oil in a pan with a little curry powder, onions, and thyme. Added the chicken strips and a tablespoon of water. Came out pretty good....my fall back is always Mexican or Italian cuisine, so I will definitely break out the curry and give it a try! Thanks!!
Carrots & cabbage would have been really good with it....hmmm, why didn't i think of that before? I'm not doing so well getting all my veggies in for the day. Any veggie recipes are welcome, please.0 -
I usually try to eat at least one salad a day and then a veggie snack if I can (carrots and/or celery), but working as many greens as I can into dinner has become one of my favorite challenges! Things like zucchini boats, egg plant pizzas, stuffed peppers, pasta primavera, and vegetable stir fry can help sneak them in as opposed to just using them as side dishes, which I find can get boring! Another great idea I got from Autumn's Instagram was making a vegetable salad with sliced red and orange peppers, onions, and cucumbers seasoned with vinegar and black pepper. It's tasty!!0

I really love pasta, but obviously it's something to be had in moderation (esp on 21DF). I found that mixing a bunch of roasted veggies with my little bit of pasta and topping with homemade (no added sugar) Sauce loaded with veggies satisfies my pasta craving and works in some veggies.0
-
You've probably all heard about this already, but just in case- spaghetti squash is really good with a bit of sauce on it! It's not really like pasta, but gives you the illusion you might be eating spaghetti. Its good prepared a lot of ways.0
