Sunday Prep!


I outdid myself this weekend. I spent 2 hours in the kitchen and quite amazed at how quickly it went! I think the key was doing the actual food shopping on a different day and already have my recipes planned out. 




Recipe #1: A take on caprese salad. Cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. 


Recipe #2: Bacon ranch chicken with broccoli and cheese. I am a huge fan of foil packets. So easy to throw together and put in the oven. 


Recipe#3: Peanut butter banana chocolate chip protein oatmeal bake. This tastes like a dessert for breakfast :)


Recipe #4: Hawaiian chicken in the crock pot. I'll add peppers and onions when it's closer to done and serve over rice. 


All that in two hours. I have well over a weeks worth of food. Some of it will definitely be put in the freezer. I'm working on getting a collection of meals, so that if I have a weekend where I travel, I don't have to cram in prep for the week. I seriously wish I had another freezer. As I'm getting better with portion sizes, my food is really going a long way. Hands down, the crock pot was the best investment ever.

So I'm ready for another healthy week and quite pumped that I don't have to do any cooking. Life is good when you prep :)
