Hi Friends!

Time for more food prep!

sundayfoodprep

I didn’t do any food prep last weekend because we were heading out of town Monday for my grandpa’s funeral. But have no fear….I have lots of great ideas to share with you today from my readers! Here’s what some of them have been up to:

Alyssa from Road to RD :

This week was our first pickup from our CSA, so there was a lot of veggies to use! This inspired me to prep other foods too. We had a bag of carrot sticks and celery that needed to be washed and cut, and I always like to keep a few hard boiled eggs around, just in case. Here’s what I prepped:

  • Nappa cabbage salad with cilantro and toasted almonds
  • Carrot sticks and celery sticks (which I like to call crunchy munchies :D)
  • My first ever batch of kale chips, which I sprinkled with parmesan cheese and olive oil and baked at 350 for 15 minutes
  • Hard boiled eggs (A great addition to a piece of fruit or crunchy munchies 😉 )
  • Salad greens, arugula, and parsley for quick salad making!

Salads for the week!

Amy at The Little Honeybee :

  • 1. Grape tomatoes – sliced
  • 2. Blueberries – washed
  • 3. Sweet potato – chopped
  • 4. Zucchini – sliced
  • 5. Red/yellow/orange pepper – chopped
  • 6. Quinoa – cooked
  • 7. Oat, banana and almond cookies
  • 8. Edamame beans – cooked
  • 9. Strawberries – washed and sliced

The tomatoes, pepper, quinoa and edamame beans will be made into a salad for my lunches for the week (just adding some dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar). The zucchini and sweet potato will be used for dinner throughout the week (roasted in the oven served with chicken/salmon). The blueberries and strawberries are easy on-the-go snacks and the oat, banana and almond cookies are for a yummy treat!

What I prepped:
  • washed and cut strawberries
  • washed cherries, blueberries, grapes
  • washed and cut yellow pepper, orange pepper, zucchini, cucumber, carrots
  • roaster chicken meat for salads
  • made a large spring salad to use at dinner
  • brewed fresh iced tea (1 gallon water, 3 Red Rose Tea bags)
  • brewed fresh iced tea (1 gallon water, 2 Tazo Passion Tea bags)
How I use it:
  • I use the strawberries and blueberries for yogurt parfaits with Wallaby Vanilla yogurt
  • Peppers, cucumbers, carrots in spring salad for lunch
  • Cherries in greek yogurt
  • Roasted Chicken in spring salad w walnuts, cranberries, goat cheese, balsamic

Lori at Purely Twins :

I roasted potatoes, soaked quinoa, which then I cooked and steamed and roasted a variety of vegetables. I also baked proteins muffins to have on hand for a snack.

Maria at Asphalt & Trails :

This weekend I focused on prepping light meals because it’s so hot outside I can’t stand heavy foods.  Here is what I prepped:
• southwest quinoa and black beans patties
• red quinoa, beans, corn and chicken salad
• octopus salad
• lentils meatballs with lemon pesto
• fiesta bowl (rice and beans topped with tomatoes, avocados and chestnuts).
• garlic and thyme roasted sweet potato wedges.

    I need to start prepping food on Sunday. It would probably save me a lot of aggravation during the week!

    Today is my first day food prepping (im doing it mostly today because my weekends tend to be busier than fridays). So far i made my list, i did my shopping and currently i am soaking beans to cook in the pressuer cooker. I made little breakfast meat pies (easy for hubby to grab along with his quinoa bar) I am trying to put together my todo list and get it in order so im spending the time in the kitchen wisely and multitasking well. We shall see how it goes.
