Hi Friends!

I didn’t get around to posting my prep last weekend so you’re getting a double dose today!

Two weekends ago I made:

I also made some snacks which you can see in my 25 Healthy After-Work Snack Ideas post.

Last weekend it was warm enough to grill so we made:

  • Grilled salmon for me
  • Sliders for hubby
  • Steak for hubby
  • Veggies
  • Spinach cubes to freeze for smoothies- just blend up spinach in a high powered blender…add a little bit of water if needed.

Here’s what one of you prepped:

Cara:

As a nurse I work three to four 12-hour shifts a week. If I am not working on Sunday, or before a stretch of a few shifts in a row I try to prep a couple days worth of meals. When I work consecutive shifts there is only 11 1/2 hours turn around time to commute home, unwind, sleep, and be back at work. Prepping meals helps allow me time to squeeze in a work out, or sometimes some extra sleep. I typically have a day off in the middle of the week where I will cook another dinner meal and prep more lunches if needed. My fiance also works 24 hour shifts so it’s nice for him to have some grab and go meals and snacks as well!

Pic #1: This week I prepped clockwise: Stuffed Pepper Soup with ground turkey, hard boiled eggs, brown rice to go with the soup or throw in salads, Peanut butter energy balls (without choc. chips and coconut), Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini Boats (without cheese- added avocado on top), cubed sweet potatoes to put on salads or have as a snack with almond butter, extra enchilada filling.

Pic # 2: For snacks I filled my fruit bowl (Oranges not pictured), also portioned almonds and pistachios and chopped/washed veggies to dip in hummus or add to salads– Cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumbers, and red and green bell peppers.

  2. Those spinach cubes are a smart idea! I’ll keep that in mind next time I have too much greens that’s about to go bad

  3. I seriously had no clue that you could make bread in a dutch oven! I’ll have to try that out because it seems pretty simple. For some reason, baking bread intimidates me 😉
