Melissa: A few of my go-to’s — breakfast : if I don’t prep a egg bake for the week I’ll use Trader Joe’s scallion pancakes add either a salsa or bruschetta, over easy egg and avocado. Lunch - while wheat tortilla or rice cake with homemade (whole 30) mayo, salad or micro greens, turkey, avocado and marinated onions. Dinner : salad with steak, sweet potatoes and other goodies with cilantro dressing. A snack I’ve been doing a lot of too is hummus with cucumber!1

Lauren: Frittata muffins are an awesome way to start the day if you can prep then on Sunday/monday.0

Alex: Costco sells a box of 20 snack size hummus packs which are 160 calories each (about 1Tand I eat the whole thing if I’m really hungry, but only half a tub if I’m not.0

Mabel: Love asparagus! I also roast it in the oven with olive oil and everything bagel seasoning. Low carb tortilla filled with asparagus, cheese, and pulled pork for dinner.1
-
Melissa: We cook a ton of asparagus. Roasting it in the oven with a some olive oil, sea salt and adding lemon zest after is great or using Trader Joe’s everything but the bagel seasoning ( its my fav - use it on all the things). Put them on a sheet pan for 10 minutes at 375 and they come out al dente.0

Lauren: I like to put a bit of olive oil on asparagus and cook it on the toaster oven for 5 min on 400. Salt after roasting. Yum!0

Lauren: Also a lot of stir fried veggies with cauliflower rice. You can buy the veg frozen from TJs so you don’t have to chop. To flavor the veggies: Garlic, ginger, chili flakes with a little sesame oil to start then I add soy sauce and rice vinegar at the end.0

Katie: mix TJs steamed lentils with TJs bruschetta sauce and some feta0

Melissa: Marinated onions - thinly sliced red onions put in mason jar with oil of choice and red wine vinegar and add seasoning (salt, pepper, Italian herbs) . So easy and I put them on everything! After you are through or as you are using them you can use the extra oil mixture as dressing. here’s the recipe : https://nocrumbsleft.net/2017/03/18/marinated-red-onions/ and one for pickling which I just started doing too...great for gut health!

Lauren: Blender pancakes: 1 cup oats, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 egg. We double for our family of four, add cinnamon, vanilla and some baking powder. Sometimes we even add spinach for green pancakes. Then blend (thin with water as necessary) and cook up like pancakes! Add in fruit as desired.0
