Freezer will be pretty full after that.5 -
Nothing nothing nothing.
Am in Fiji on vacation all week and preparing nil foods myself.

I am prepping some ingredients but not full meals just now. I pressed and sliced then pan fried some tofu; it keeps well this way and I can put it in sandwiches or chop more for other dishes. I'll cook up some quinoa and some brown rice. Beyond that I can wing it.1

Mine was pretty basic this week. Fried some turkey breast mince (ground turkey for those of you in the US), added some smoked paprika and fresh lime juice. Served with roast sweet potato and pan fried silverbeet. That will do me for Monday - Thursday.3

We're on the same wavelength, I made split pea barley jalapeno soup tonight. No meat though! I'll be eating it all week both because I'm single and I love split pea.2 -
I batch cooked yesterday: roasted 2 large chicken breasts, 1 white onion, 1 head of garlic, 2 purple bell peppers and some remaining broccoli and corn I had in my freezer (all together in one pan with a good amount of seasoning). I separated it into 4 containers (lunch for Mon. - Thur.) and I'm looking forward to lunch today because it smelled really good yesterday.1

I’m not. I never meal prep. I’m an ole fashioned cook something from scratch every night. Steak baked potato and salad for me tonight.4
-
I prep my veggies for the week and freeze leftovers (ones that can be frozen). I'm just not keen on eating meat that's been in my fridge for longer than 3 days.0
-
I'm going to make some shredded chicken in the instant pot tonight and probably use it for little chicken soft tacos for dinners all week . Might add some scrambled eggs!
Probably cut up some veggies and pre-portion as well. Happy monday to everyone!1 -
I need prep ideas but happy that I made hard boiled eggs for a coupke days. I also made stuffed peppers for tomorrow night because I won’t get home til after 7 with my kids.1
-
Roasting potatoes, carrots, onion, apple, cabbage and chicken drums.
Next up, zucchini, peas and shrimp with garlic butter.3 -
Make pulled pork yesterday in the slow cooker for sandwiches this week. I don't have a recipe for BBQ sauce so using store-bought, which I always find way too sweet2

Aldi sells these packages of pre made/pre cooked meats in the refrigerated section that are actually pretty good. I’ve tried Thai coconut chicken thighs, Hawaiian chicken thighs, and this week I got carnitas. I split it into three Tupperware containers with some canned refried beans and some uncle bens Spanish rice. Doesn’t get any easier than that!! I also eat some veg with ranch on the side2

I'm going to make turkey chili today. I got leftover turkey from last nights Thanksgiving dinner.😊3
-
I am prepping boneless skinless chicken breasts. They are in the fridge right now, dusted with salt and seasonings.
tonight, I'll sear them and drop them in the Instant Pot for 10 minutes. After they rest for another 5 minutes, I'll cut them into 4 oz portions, add 1/2 cup rice and 1/2 black beans (already cooked) and freeze in wide mouth mason jars. Easy lunchbag heat-n-eat. I make this just about every week, and alter the seasonings to add variety.1 -
My wife usually makes a big thing of quinoa for lunches during the week, but other than that we don't really meal prep. It's still grilling season here, so when I grill for dinner I usually grill enough for that meal and more to take for lunch the next day...maybe the next couple of days. I pretty much have a 72 hour rule on most leftovers, so meal prep for the week for me is a hard NO. We cook dinner most every night fresh unless we've made a big stew or something.1
-
I might have to wait a few days to do the bolognaise until we have finished off some of the frozen fish and oven fries taking up space in the freezer. Freezer is pretty full from the double batch of dutch split pea soup.

I made a sausage/veggie sheet pan bake. My husband is a butcher so he brings home "defective" sausages - ones that are too small or burst (like the ones above). Bake in the oven at 425 for 25 minutes and, boom, Lunches for work for the week.

@bhop2982 I don’t even like veggies very much but that looks so good!1
-
@kosseychick turkey chili sounds good, especially this time of year! I’ll have to add that to my list of things to make 🙂1
-
Meal prepping definitely helps me because I have issues binging. So much less likely to happen if my meals are ready to go vs me being able to eat everything in the fridge when I’m starving 🤗0
-
@brinicolelovely I just was looking for something a bit different than the standard turkey left over meals 😊and I'm a big fan of chili0
-
Last week, smoked several chicken breasts in my electric smoker. I froze half and then used the rest for 3 meals- Boston Bibb salad w/chicken, onion, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and Asian dressing, Chicken tacos, Chicken Noodle soup.1
-
I'm feeling lazy this week. I don't usually meal prep, but I cook sometimes. This week my food is whatever other family members feel like cooking + sandwiches. I bought instant noodles in case no one cooks, does that count as prepping?1
-
For the Canadians with leftover thanksgiving turkey, can I suggest my super easy vaguely South American chicken salad? Chopped turkey, a chopped avocado and a jar of store bought tomato salsa. Optional chopped fresh coriander garnish. Have it in a soft taco shell or wrap.3
-
I was kind of lazy this week, I did homemade lunchables for the week - like little kids eat I cubed up some block cheddar cheese, portioned out some deli ham and Wheat Thin crackers and cut up a pineapple. It hasn't been the most filling of my prepped lunches, but it's something different and I've enjoyed it.1

3 doz hard boiled eggs; out of 5 doz purchased.
A whole poached chicken, Chinese style.
Chicken both, from the poached chicken.3 -
Chicken breast & boiled eggs for protein
Roasted cubed sweet potatoes & quinoa for carb
Roasted zucchini & mixed peppers, broccoli & tomatoes for veggies and steel cut oats with strawberries & chocolate almond butter for breakfast.

I have kept in fridge cooked white rice, black beans, fresh tomatillo sauce, Lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and mini corn or flour tortillas on hand. Can make a quick bean burrito or fiesta salad. A mini burrito has about 110 calories. If I cut the corn tortillas in tiny strips and bake in oven then a couple of these on the salad make the meal run about 295 calories.0
