I am still a beginner with meal prep on Sundays, but I am finding some meals that really work for me and make my life easier. I have been making this lunch in large mason jars for the past few weeks. I have not gotten tired of it yet! The flavor is so light and…
April Seasonal Foods
Spinach Egg Frittata
This is made up from a few different recipes I found and created my own version. I have started making this as my Sunday meal prep for a quick breakfast the beginning part of my week. It keeps well for four days in the refrigerator and makes six servings. If you follow the portion fix…
Salad in a Jar
Who buys lettuce and then it goes bad because you never have TIME to prepare a simple salad during the day? I know I have had that happen many times. I love salads, but finding time to put it together is hard with my busy, always changing schedule with three kids. Preparing meals ahead of…
Spinach, bacon and quinoa power bites
I found this recipe awhile back and cannot remember where. I used it as my pre workout meal to fuel me with energy for my workout. It worked and they were delicious!!! The serving size is 3 power bites, so pretty good size meal and really easy to make. There are just two things you…
Tilapia Tacos
This is another option for a Taco Night filling. You can use it in your homemade tortilla shells or I personally enjoy it on my romaine lettuce boats. It is a meal you leave feeling satisfied but not stuffed. It is such a light simple meal that the whole family will enjoy. Mine does! You…
Taco Veggie Bowl
This is a meal that I threw together one day because it was getting late, I didn’t want a lot of clean up and it was stuff I had on hand. It has now become one of our favorite meals!! Super easy, quick and pretty healthy with all the veggies. If you have a Trader…
Raw Ranch Dip
Get ready to have your mind blown!!! This dip, that could possibly be a salad dressing, is amazing! It is healthy and has NO DAIRY but taste like it does. I found this at a Whole Foods Raw Food cooking class. You just have to try it once to taste what I am talking about….
Sour Cream Chicken and Veggies
Here is a family favorite! Hubby approves and kids approve! There are no leftovers in this house after this meal! I got this recipe from the book Eating Your Way to Good Health by Doug Kaufmann. I have changed it around from the original just a bit with how I cook it. I bake the…
Homemade Elderberry Syrup
Who has heard of elderberry syrup? I kept reading about how good it was for boosting your immune system and how it can shorten the length of a cold by 3 days. I started to buy it at my local health food store a few years ago and would take it and give it to…
Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
This is a great meal but I maybe only make it when peppers are in season because it does take a bit of time to make. It is so worth it though and the kids are coming around to this dish. They personally like the peppers to be raw, so I put a few on…
