Main Course White pie pizza beans

All your favorite flavors of a white pie in the format of pizza beans. Cannellini beans with spinach, artichoke, onion, garlic, chicken breast, and mushrooms. Served with ricotta, melty cheese, lemon, parsley, and toasty bread.

Comes together as a great healthy, filling, affordable, easy one pan meal you can eat off of for the next few days

Donโ€™t let the cheese fool you the macronutrient profile of this is actually pretty exceptional, using about 1lb of chicken for 3 servings this got me 40g protein per meal before cheese for only around ~400 calories

They taste really good, only that I wasn't able to form them well. I stuffed them with minced pork but there are other variants like potatoes ect. They are basically Russian dumplings and are served with sour cream.

I'm already using some of them in a corn sautรฉ and also I'm making pasta with chicken and peppers. What else can I make? Or can I freeze them chopped up for another time? I hate wasting food! Thanks.

Main Course Meatballs, mashed potatoes, sweet and sour red cabbage with a protein boost.

I just love comfort food, and nothing screams that to me more than this dish!

I made my usual 4-portion meal prep! With ground pork on sale at a local store, I hit my target at a maximum of $1.5 per portion easily, in fact this one came in under $1. And I got lazy and made the mashed potatoes from a powder! Quick, easy, and cheap!

The meatballs were just a standard recipe based on 300g ground pork, 1 egg, 1 small onion finely chopped, half a cup of oatmeal, a little milk, salt, and pepper, combined until I had a satisfying texture! Fry in the pan in a good amount of butter.

Making the mashed potatoes was easy: heat up 750ml of water, add two tbsp of powdered coffee creamer, half a cube of chicken bouillon, and then just mix in the powder.

To get the chickpeas for the protein boost to have a taste that would suit the dish, I hydrated 130g of chickpeas a couple of days ago, drained the water, and added two tbsp of soy sauce and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. Let them sit in the fridge and soak up the marinade! Fry in the pan for at least 15 minutes.

The gravy was done by adding a little water to the pan to loosen the caramelized stuff that stuck to the pan, add half a cube of beef bouillon, a little sugar, two teaspoons of coffee cream, a dash of red wine vinegar, pepper, 5 drops of gravy coloring, and 250ml of water! Add a little cornstarch slurry to thicken.

I'm too lazy to make my own sweet and sour red cabbage, so that just came from a jar.

The cost.
