I'm always on the go. Whether its waking up at 4am for work or picking the kids up from school, it always seems like I'm taking care of someone or something. By the end of the night, I just want to go to sleep. After rethinking my day, I thought a little family meal preparation would really help.
What does this look like?
So, I pick two days out of the week to cook two to three meals that I can remix for each day.
I choose two proteins, usually chicken and seafood.
So, this is what's in heavy rotation at the Prince household this week?
*Roasted Chicken (bake chicken with onion, garlic, rosemary; to switch things up and marinate with lemon-peper seasoning), jasmine rice, and mixed veggies makes. The chicken and jasmine rice will live on through the rest off the week and I will only have to make veggies.
The chicken with live on in two ways:
*Chicken Wraps: Left-over baked chicken, cheddar cheese, with jasmine rice: just added garlic, cilantro and lime on a tortilla
*Chicken Noodle Soup, whatever home recipe moves my fancy from pinterest
*Italian sausage and turkey pepperoni Pizza:
Turkey Pepperoni, seasoned tomato sauce, with mozzarella cheese on a pre-made crust.
*Spaghetti- Usually, I will save some turkey italian sausage and use it to make spaghetti. My trick to making is a little healthier is mixing zucchini noodles with wheat noodles or I just tried spaghetti squash.
And, so my family doesn't catch on to my meal prep remix system, I switch up the sides and salads. It has been working out pretty well for me. But, if I run out of ideas and Pinterest, I also visit foodnetwork, bbcgoodfood, and tasty.
I prep snacks for when Maverick gets out of school so I will have them on hand. Meal prepping has been on and off thing for my family, but I did notice I have way more time at the end of the night to wind down properly.
Do you meal prep for your family? What are so recipes in heavy rotation?
