Been getting into light meal prepping a couple days a week after my grocery shopping trips, which are usually Mondays (but occasionally Sundays) and Thursdays (but often Fridays, lol). Prep includes marinating meat and slicing/dicing produce for dinners as well as cooking up some extra meat for protein, a healthy grab and go snack, and washing fruit so it’s ready to munch or throw in a lunch. Shared a few kitchen accessories to make prep easier, in last weeks meal plan (HERE). Would love to get to the point where I’m also roasting veggies and making salads that Johan and I (or the older kids) can grab for lunch. Baby steps for now. Added details to the bottom of the meal plan if you want to join!
- NEW RECIPE MONDAY | Sheet Pan Moroccan Chicken with Sweet Potatoes & Cauliflower (tip: add an extra sheet pan of potatoes and cauliflower to eat with eggs for breakfast and choice of protein for lunch!)
- TACO TUESDAY | Steak Fajitas (yum!)
- FAMILY FAVE WEDNESDAY | One Pot Creamy Sausage Pasta (also yum)
- THROWBACK THURSDAY | Leftovers
- PIZZA PARTY FRIDAY | Takeout Pizza
- SUPPER CLUB SATURDAY | Chili and Corn Bread (double the batch for lunch the next day & have the kids make a side, fun drink, or dessert… our boys have been big into making homemade ice cream!)
- COZY SUNDAY | Rustic Sausage & Tortellini Soup
- MONDAY PREP | Slice and dice produce for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday dinner, and marinade steak for the Fajitas. Prep energy bites, sliced strawberries (and other fruits and veggies), granola, and hardboiled eggs for quick breakfast, snack, or lunch packing.
- FRIDAY PREP | Prep celery, onion, and carrots for Sunday’s soup. Plus any quick and healthy snack items you’ve run out of!
