Hello neighbors! Before we get down to business, I want to wish my brother Stephen a very happy 30th birthday. Here's his blog from last year. You'll hear some pearls of wisdom from him tomorrow.
Every weekend I do my food prep for the week to ensure I have easily accessible healthy options, and then I do my food prep so that I don't have to come home from work and cook most nights.
Do I get up excited to do meal planning and food prep on Sundays? No, I do not. In fact this Sunday I wanted to sit my fat ass on the couch all day and watch 80s movies, but I finally got into the kitchen with a frown on my face and 40 minutes later I was back to the beloved couch. I knew if I didn't get in there and do it I'd be kicking myself all week while eating cookies and tortilla chips for dinner, and regretskies are not for me.
This week was a bit different since I'm only going to be here for three days, but I still did enough to get me through the shortened week.
Breakfasts: egg salad (lots of celery) made with avocado and plain greek yogurt instead of mayo on whole wheat sandwich rounds and strawberries. I need my eggs in the morning and have been doing egg bakes for a few weeks so it was time to switch it up.
Snacks: Sliced cucumbers, carrot sticks, grape tomatoes. I prep the cucumbers in the morning, I don't like for them to get gross. I have some hummus to take to work and leave there as well.
Sunday dinner: homemade pizza topped with pizza sauce (made on Monday), homemade dough (made Saturday), olives, baby bellas, and sliced mozzarella.
Monday dinner: Orzo caprese salad (just orzo, halved grape tomatoes, chunks of mozzarella and a balsamic vinegar dressing), steamed broccoli, rotisserie chicken
Tuesday dinner: black bean quesadillas from the freezer
Wednesday dinner: leftovers!
