In September I made some BIG changes that effected our home and my health. I cut out all sugar and began a low-carb lifestyle. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. I’m down 34 LBS and still have a long way to go.
Because our life here in Ireland is busy, meal times can be a bit rushed. In order to continue eating well, I need to have meals on hand that I can grab quickly. If not I would be running to the chippy and grabbing some fish and chips instead!
Each Sunday I take about an hour and prep several meals for the week. This weekly preparation has been a life saver!
Here are a few meal prep ideas to get you started. Just prepping one meal each week can help you to stay on track.
Quiona Mini Quiche
This is my favorite meal prep recipe lately. I made them with tomatoes and feta last week and they were delicious! You can find the recipe HERE.
Stuffed Mushrooms
I just cut up the mushroom stem, onions, tomatoes, added Mayo and Cheese.
Overnight Oatmeal
I’m still on the lookout for a recipe that I love, this one wasn’t great to be honest!
Fresh veggies
I’ll snack on this all week with some hummus
Turkey Meatballs
I’ve liked this recipe from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen
Just preparing a few things each week has been so helpful. I hope you find this post helpful. I plan to share more of my Meal Prep recipes, ideas, and some step-by-step instructions in the future.
