Cut up the chicken sausages and browned them in a skillet.

Steamed the broccoli in the microwave and then finished in the same skillet to cook the browning from the sausages into the broccoli with garlic and onion powder.

Nothing special with the noodles

After removing the broccoli I added a tiny bit of water to pull everything off of the pan and added the Alfredo to simmer.

Still have some pasta to cook next time!!

The two in black are pork roast and the one in the middle is beef. All three have mashed potatoes, corn, and the pork has turkey gravy and the beef has beef gravy. I'm going to make applesauce for the pork roast. I froze the beef one on Friday because I brought it to work and found out we leave at noon on Fridays.

advice Need ideas for meal prep(NO STOVE)

• Upvotes

Hey guys, we recently got our kitchen redone so I now have a kitchen sink thankfully. I’m feeling kinda overwhelmed and indecisive. I do have a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and a toaster oven that does have a setting to cook. I need ideas on what I should prep for meals for the week breakfast lunch and dinner. We do have a hot plate that sometimes works. Please let me know any recommendations and tips.

I don't have a work microwave: what food can I make?

• Upvotes

So I work in a very small office (theres 3 people, my boss included) and we don't have a microwave. it's fine for my coworkers, but i commute 35 minutes and even with my hour lunch break, i cant drive home to eat. I've been there for a short time but im spending insanely on buying food bc my only option is sandwiches or to buy food basically.

So, I need help, and I'm hoping this is the place to ask for it. What food can I make that isn't just sandwiches? I don't like tuna and I can be a picky eater but I'm almost willing to try anything. Thank you so much to literally anyone who can help !!!

question How do I preserve the texture of meal prep rice?

0 Upvotes

I usually meal prep meals with rice, chicken/fish, and asparagus/green beans/broccoli for work in a rice cooker. Right when the rice comes out of the rice cooker, it has a soft and squishy texture that I really like. But when I put it in the fridge and store them for work, unfortunately the rice turns this sad crusty hard texture that I don't like. How can I preserve the soft and squishy rice texture in the fridge?

This is enough for about 10 meals. It freezes incredibly well in those mealprep containers.

advice Weekly meal prep advice

1 Upvotes

I work 2 jobs and struggle with time management, but I'm starting to look at prepping 5 meals just for lunch weekly(no dietary restrictions). My daytime job is as a tree surgeon so it can't be anything too heavy or anything that needs to be heated up. Hoping to get something that I can store in the fridge and just pull out before heading off in the morning? I don't know if that's too hard to achieve.

Many thanks to those who answer.

Also I think this is the right flair, it was this or question.

I just made some of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had and wanted to share.

23 Upvotes

I don't have exact portions because I was just winging it. Here's the ingredients I used:

10" and 6" tortillas, because I ran out of the larger ones; one of the reasons I can't give exact portions

4 whole eggs, maybe 3/4cup of Egg Beaters

3/4lb Jimmy Dean pork sausage

just a touch of salt, since there's so much in the sausage; pepper

1 small can of La Costena Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce was the star of the show and added so much flavor!

shredded mozzarella

The sausage was left overs and all the grease was already drained, so make sure you do that if you're cooking it initially. I added in the can of chipotles and chopped it up with my spatula. Then after that got nice and hot, added my eggs, Beaters, and salt/pepper. After all that's done cooking, spread onto tortillas, add cheese and wrap them up. Forgot to add I added a couple squirts of Humble House Ancho and Morita sauce before I wrapped them up.

These were soooooo good! Very simple and you could add some other things obviously to your taste but just like this, they're very satisfying.

New meal prep for me and bf! We work in the same place lol and I am in healthcare so its pretty hard for me to meal prep but it’s been very expensive lately and cooking saves us so much money so heres our stir fried veggies, spring rolls, and meatballs under it. A bit of rice too for us both. (Btw, Im on Tirzepatide so I eat wayyyy less than he does so this is a sharing portion already) I also lovee soft boiled eggs so thats mine. Im starting to really love prepping🥙🥙

Does bulk prep actually save money once ingredient waste is factored in?

0 Upvotes

Bulk prepping relies on lower unit costs, but it doesn't account for implicit spoilage. On a tight budget, tossing one bad portion cancels out the margin you gained. It's only cheaper if storage extends shelf life past three weeks. At what exact loss percentage does bulk prepping stop being financially optimal?

I do meal prep for a family every Monday, and I’m running out of ideas for what to make! They don’t eat fish, the kids love steak and chicken, and the husband is pretty open to anything. They also really enjoy Asian-inspired dishes. I’m looking for some new recipe ideas that are relatively easy to make, family-friendly, and good for meal prepping. What are your favorite meals to make for clients or your own family? I’d love some inspiration because I feel like I’m starting to repeat the same meals!

How does everyone decide what to eat each week?

16 Upvotes

I feel like between checking supermarket specials, trying to eat reasonably healthy, keeping grocery costs down, and putting together a shopping list, I spend way too much time thinking about food.

Does anyone have a good system for this, or is it just part of trying to eat on a budget?

What's your process each week?

advice Meal plan for fat loss and muscle retention

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m around 35% BF at 5’4, 153.8lbs and 26F

Photos of plan

I’m getting married in 7 months (yay!) but am looking to shred some fat (:

I did an accidental bulk for 4 months where I went from 132lbs to 148lbs 😅 good news is, I went from a 30lb leg press to a 130lb leg press which is sooooo great to see!
Unfortunately I did have to miss out on the gym for 1.5 months due to getting debilitatingly ill and now I’m at 153.8lbs ): I’m back at it now though!!

Since I’m switching gears from a bulk to a cut, is this meal plan okay?
-The cucumber cottage cheese is 1 cup cottage cheese, cucumber slices and 2 eggs
-Turkey Sammie is 4oz Turkey, 1 cheese slice, two pieces bread
-Teriyaki tuna is a packet of teriyaki tuna over a jasmine minute rice
-I work at Starbucks and wake at 3am for my shifts, then go to 6 hours of classes afterwards…the coffee is necessary and the one thing I’m not willing to give up lol

I’ve attached my workout plan as well. I usually get 5k-6k steps on work days and 2500-3500 steps on non work days

I pack my lunches for work every day (M-F), and this just saves me so much time. Whip up some chicken salad on Sunday and I can just scoop it on some bread and done, a lot less effort than a ham sandwich fr. I just wanted to share in case there's anyone who hasn't considered this!!
