Sunday Meal Prep for the Work Week

I try to always do my meal prep on Sundays. I make about eight egg wraps (made from two eggs cooked in a pan and made flat into a wrap) and use them for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes I put apples with cinnamon in them, or tofu, sausage, deli meat, spinach and mushrooms, tons of different options.

I am not as disciplined as you with the meal prep

But I usually make a soup on Sundays in my crock pot. Veggie soup yesterday.
I also make chicken and bean chili-like thing. That is good for 4 meals
I make protein cakes. 12 at a time.
I make my eggs in the morning and take them to work.
I do overnight oatmeal.. and am planning on trying the crock pot oatmeal.
I boil a dozen eggs
I also get carrots, baby cucumber and baby peppers for easy grab and go snacking.


I try to make enough dinner to have leftovers, but I have a teenage football player in the house.. There isn't much left behind. Even the salad and veggies are usually gone

This is an awesome idea! I need to try it

You know you can freeze bread? With just me and the hubby, I immediately cut a loaf in half and freeze half. Even if you don't use it for sandwiches later, you can use it for bread crumbs or as filler for meatloaf or stuffed peppers. I buy only local, artisanal whole grain breads as white and/or processed breads get gummy when frozen - seems the chemicals don't like to be frozen

I boil 4 eggs for 2 breakfasts for hubby and me (we ride to work together and eat in the car on the way to the T station).
Pick up Applegate Farms turkey sausage that zaps in microwave, tastes delicious and you can pronounce all the ingredients.
Mini-bagels I top with either avocado & cottage cheese or cream cheese (thin schmear), avocado & hot pepper jelly
Small burrito wraps into which I put scrambled eggs and any veg I have in the fridge.
Someone mentioned making a quiche and dividing it throughout the week.
Someone else mentioned baking eggs, sausage, cheese and veg in a muffin tin, bake, cool, freeze, then grab and thaw on way out the door.

SOUP - it's my go-to. I usually pick up fresh veg from Farmer's Market on Saturday's. Sometimes meat, sometimes not. Yesterday I made this super simply, fiber rich soup.
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic
1/2 small onion - diced
1 can cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups chicken stock - low sodium
1 15oz. can tomatoes (I actually roast and fresh mine from my garden & use all Fall and Winter)
1 cup pasta (I had elbow macaroni)

Saute garlic & onion in olive oil. Add chicken stock, beans, tomatoes and pasta. Simmer until pasta is cooked. Makes HUGE pot of soup (you can also freeze in 1 cup containers.

Also made huge pot of Beef Borscht w/fresh beets.

Last week made turkey chili in slow cooker. I put all ingredients in the pot just before bed, cook overnight, next day pour into cool pot and store in fridge till you get home, skim extra fat, re-heat. Also easy to freeze.

I also do the salad w/tuna pouch. They also have chicken and salmon pouches for a little variety. or I'll grab the other half of whatever protein I didn't finish at dinner the night before - grilled salmon, pork chop, chicken sausage, steak. I rarely eat the entire serving.

Roast a chicken, then make half into chicken salad (Thai, Chinese, Greek, Provencal use greek yogurt in place of half or all of the mayo) and measure into 1 cup containers. Get some bib lettuce and have lettuce cups. Suprisingly my husband LOVES these.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I get incredibly bored easily so I'm constantly scoping out new recipes and ideas.
