Today was all about getting organized for the week with some meal planning ideas, grocery shopping, & food preparation. Sure it took longer then I would’ve liked but I will thank myself later in the week when I don’t want to cook!
My grocery list looked something like this:
- Whole chicken (5lb)
- Lean ground beef
- Turkey tenders
- Kabocha squash
- Sweet potatoes
- Broccoli
- mushrooms
- Strawberries
- Bananas
- Pineapple
- Eggs
- Milk
- Whole grain bread
Meal Ideas for the beginning of the week:
- Roasted Whole Chicken with herbs
- Shepherds pie (lean ground beef)
- Turkey tenderloin and veggies
Food Prep:
- Homemade Protein Bars (recipe to come this week)
- Roasted Whole chicken
- Roasted Kabocha squash
- Baked eggplant with olive oil
- Pumpkin Bran muffins
These recipes were super easy and will be so helpful throughout the week. The roasted chicken is dinner tonight, but then also will be used for sandwiches/salads for lunch this week. Having veggies in the fridge is always helpful for me especially at lunch when you want to throw together something quick! I love having healthy muffins at work, they are the perfect snack in between clients and are really tasty.
Do you prep food or plan out meals for the week?
