Meal Prepping Sundays

Meal prep done! I'm definitely getting better at this - took me half as long as last week.

There are so many delicious recipes out there and it may be tempting to make them when you're prepping. I did and realized it was just too much. The simpler the better, otherwise I just get overwhelmed and am exhausted after all the cooking.

I'm working on creating meal plans with grocery lists, so stay tuned!

Below are a list of all the meals for the week:

Yummy Egg Muffins

Yummy Egg Muffins

Sometimes you want a hearty breakfast that you can eat on the go or throw in your bag to take to school or work. Usually the most portable of breakfast ideas are carb and sugar loaded. These tasty breakfast egg muffins are a great alternative and can be made in advance! You decide what meat, cheese and vegetables you want to put in it, making the combination possibilities endless. And since you make a bunch in advance you have ready to go breakfast options all week.

BBQ Pineapple and Pork Kabobs

BBQ Pineapple and Pork Kabobs

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs pork loin chops, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
2 large cans of pineapple chunks with juice (or 1 ripe, fresh pineapple)
4 large green or red bell peppers (or both), cut into large chunks
10 large mushrooms (optional), halved
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 TBSP onion powder
2 TBSP garlic powder
2 TBSP black pepper


DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat your BBQ ready and get it ready!

• In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes. 

• Alternate pieces of pork, pineapple, peppers, and mushrooms on the kebobs. Metal skewers are the best to use. If you're using wood skewers, be sure to soak them ahead of time in water so they don't burn!

• Grill for approximately 30 minutes on low-medium heat (approximately 350 degrees F. if you have a thermometer on your BBQ). Use a meat thermometer to be sure meat is thoroughly cooked.

Perfectly Un-Perfect Turkey Meatloaf Burgers

I made these and they are SO YUMMY!  If you're wondering why I'm calling them "Perfectly Un-Perfect", it's because I didn't measure the ingredients and I don't regret a thing! I've made these many times and never measure. And EVERY time they come out perfect!!



So here's my estimates on the ingredients (use more or less at your discretion):

But I don't want to be addicted...

Eat better, feel better. It seems easy, right?!

But what we don't realize is that we are addicted to bad food and it might be harder than we think to simply eat better.

Junk Food Addiction May Be Real— In a study of rats, the more fattening foods they ate, the more they wanted. (I read this in Business Week, so that's how I know it's legit.)

Melt In Your Mouth Banana Chocolate Muffins

Melt in your mouth Banana and Chocolate Muffins that are yummy AND healthier than some other recipes I've come across. Try for yourself. You'll see...  ;-)

My 2 year old nephew stayed over last night and this morning as I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, I came across a recipe for Banana Bread Brownies. I love banana bread, but didn't want all that sugar and processed ingredients. Plus, that recipe had lots of sugary frosting on top. I found by putting chocolate chips in a baking recipe, it adds enough "sweet" that frosting isn't needed.
