We took it pretty easy in terms of food preparation this week. Donny had a catering job to do on Saturday, so I knew I wouldn’t want to spend too much time in kitchen on Sunday.
Meals this week were kept pretty simple. They consist of a few different types of meat and lots of vegetables…my favorite! I did all of my grocery shopping at Safeway this week. The kitchen was in use on Saturday, so I took pictures at the store!
Grocery Shopping:
- boneless skinless chicken thighs, frozen cod fillets, boneless pork loin chops and Italian seasoned Jenni-O Lean Ground Turkey
- eggs, 2% Greek yogurt and 1% cottage cheese
- bananas and lemons
- romaine hearts, broccoli slaw, cherry tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli and sweet potatoes
Meal Prep:
I knew I wouldn’t want to get too crazy on Sunday preparing food for the week, since Saturday was a busy day. There are plenty of delicious meals I can make that don’t take much time!
I made zucchini and yellow squash noodles with half the amount I purchased. After making the noodles, I sautéed them for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Then I measured them out, put them into meal containers, and I topped them with jarred marinara.
Once the noodles were done, I cooked the ground turkey in same pan (leftover juice from the squash was removed).
Keeping things simple, I made a chopped salad using romaine hearts, cucumber, broccoli slaw and cherry tomatoes. I added feta and pepitas to the salads as well.
Donny grilled everything else for me including the chicken thighs, pork chops, broccoli, green beans, zucchini and yellow squash.
Before grilling, Donny seasoned the chicken and pork with smoked paprika, Mrs. Dash Herb & Onion Salt-Free Seasoning and also a little salt. It makes a really nice combination of flavors!
I was in a rush to get done so that I could watch the Broncos game, so for my mid-morning meal I mixed 2% Greek yogurt with vanilla protein powder and divided that among five containers. My plan is to add nuts, nut butter, dried fruit, bananas, etc each day to change things up.
That was everything I prepared for meal prep! It was really easy, yet I’ll have some really good food to eat. If you have any questions about what I purchased or how I prepared something then let me know. Comment below, send me a message on Facebook or email me at eatliftplayrepeat@gmail.com
