Meal Preppers! What are you cooking this week?

Then I add smoked salmon or chicken

Finished up my prepping last night! 🙌🏻 left side is my meals, middle 2 are for our 2 year old (I just serve small portions at a time for him) and right side is my husbands.

I weighed out berries to go with my yoghurts for breakfast, and made three days of lunches and dinners. A little chicken, some Quorn "beef," tuna and one with garbanzos. Some have seasoning, some I will sauce up as the mood strikes.

Planning out this weeks meals to be cooked on Monday evening.

Breakfast-
A: Ground turkey and egg white scramble
Me: hashbrown Egg nests

Lunch-
Honey Sriracha Meatballs w/ coconut milk jasmine rice (I think @gallicinvasion and I have the same pinterest boards lol)

Dinner-
Garlic butter steak and zucchini bite

Snacks-
A: Honey Lime tilapia w/ steamed broccoli
Me: Roast beef and colby cheese sandwiched in cucumber slices, bell peppers and hummus, HB eggs

@gallicinvasion I’ve made them a few times before and we love them in our house!

For lunch this week I'm prepping a Southwest bbq tofu salad! It'll be a kind of assemble-each-morning thing on the way out the door. c:
We don't usually prep dinners, but for dinners this week we're having stuffed shells, maple-dijon chicken + veggie, and making homemade pizza together on Valentine's!

This week I have gone a little lazy and just made some Olive Tapenade to spread on toast for lunch, but it is quite delicious. Just black and green pitted olives, sundried tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice and a slosh of the oil that the sundried tomatoes were in (which had oregano, garlic, salt & black pepper).

Should keep well because of the salt and oil, so having that Mon, Weds & Fri for lunch this week and then will probably have some more over the weekend.

I have soup, mini-naan breads(shop bought for work lunches today and Thursday).

I have various popcorn/skips/nuts pre-weighed in a snack basket along with some pre-portioned cheese/crackers and a pack of apples.

Dinner last night was Pan Fried Chicken Dinner.

I am clearing out my freezer this week of a few random bits and pieces like Yorkshire puddings and Fishfingers before I go back into full on Meal prep mode. Hoping to get myself a Chest Freezer next month to make a bit more room for my prepped stuff because I eat so much better when I have something I can just quickly defrost that I make over the weekend.

Last night I made these Israeli couscous bowls that I loaded with sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, spinach, feta, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of an avocado sauce. That made 4 portions which I'll eat for dinner through Thursday.

I also made a week's worth of hardboiled eggs that I'll supplement my breakfast with.

I haven't been to the store yet this week, looking through this thread for some good ideas for the remainder of the week's dinners.

We tend to be on a fairly consistent rotation of some sort of pasta, some sort of stir fry, some sort of roasted/grilled protein with easy sides

Last week for dinners we did:
Sunday: Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Black Beans & Rice and Green Beans
Monday: Pasta with shrimp, zucchini and asparagus with a garlic olive oil sauce
Tuesday: Sunday's Pork Tenderloin meal
Wednesday: Pulled pork from freezer with a ready made side of mac & cheese and roasted carrots
Thursday: Pasta with chicken, asparagus and zucchini in a creamy tomato sauce
Friday : Pizza
Saturday: Stirfry with chicken, zucchini and snap peas over rice

Most of them made enough to be repurposed into lunches for me and/or husband at work. It's funny you guys call that meal prepping. I call it eating up leftovers. #marketing

Those sound amazing and I have some couscous in my pantry that I've been trying to decide what to do with. Do you have a recipe or just throw it together?

Yes the recipe came from here https://cookieandkate.com/2015/southwestern-kale-power-salad/

I don't love quinoa so I used the Israeli couscous instead and then subbed out the kale for spinach!

Here's my prep haul for today - curious what other people would do with these ingredients! I have a plan but what would you do with this and your own standard pantry items?

My guy will not eat the same thing more than two days in a row so I'm still working on the menu.

Have you checked out Fitmencook or Buzzfeed’s Tasty? They both have options to make a big batch of veggies and proteins but put them together so that the meals are different every day.

Our meals this week are just some tried and tries meals that I make often.

Breakfast:
A- ground turkey, scrambled egg whites, hash browns
Me- roast w/ tomatoes, avocado, broiled cheese and an egg

Lunch:
Firecracker chicken w/ coconut rice and sautéed veggies

Dinner:
Honey lime tilapia with broccoli

Snacks:
A- ground sirloin w/ ragu and pita chips
Me- deli turkey slices, garlic & feta stuffed olives, pepper jack cheese cubes, and buffalo pretzel chips

Getting myself together and planning for this next week so I can do everything on time!

Breakfast:
A- Ground turkey, egg whites, and hashbrowns (this guy can literally eat the same thing every day and never get tired of any of it lol)

Poached salmon in coconut lime sauce with jasmine rice

I love prepping my lunches! Why did I never do this before?? This week I'm having meatballs and zoodles AND honey soy chicken and rice. I find choosing two meals and alternating makes it so easy and i can focus on making something really nice
