Here are some examples of simple meals I keep in my meal prep rotation so I can save money and eat healthier
1. I make my dog meat and rice every week and I use the rice to make my dish (since I'm already cooking it. Here I added sauteed bell pepper, onion, garlic and pineapple teriyaki chicken meatballs I buy in bulk at Costco.
2. Those same pineapple teriyaki chicken meatballs with sauteed zucchini
3. Salad! I like to buy spring mix and I try to eat one bowl everyday with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dressing. I will usually eat my bowl of salad greens while dinner is cooking.
4. Ham and cheese rolled up in a gluten free puff pastry and baked for 20 minutes
5. Beer battered fish π (it's actually very easy and quick)
6. Meatloaf
7. Egg roll in a bowl. I usually buy cole slaw mix but the store was out so I grabbed this kimchi salad, sauteed it with an egg, added ginger and garlic and mixed with the rice and meat I make for my doggo
8. I keep Kevin's on hand, always! The flavors are amazing, they're available at every grocery store but Costco has the best price, and they take five minutes to prepare.
All these meals are easy and quick prep and less than 30 minutes cook time. Having easy, flavorful meals on hand helps me save money because I'm not eating out and ensures I'm eating more nutrient dense foods so my body has everything it needs to get through the day.
