I do not measure ingredients I just go with the flow

Breakfast, lunch + dinner for my boyfriend and I 🙂

Breakfast: Sausage egg + cheese on an english muffin

I ordered my groceries on Star Market and I originally ordered turkey patties but they were out of stock and substituted with pork sausage links, which is a bummer because the macros aren't the best. I made the best out of it though.

Links – Pan fried on low medium heat for 10 min, I cut each sausage in half and placed two sausages on the english muffin.

Eggs – Whisked 10 eggs and a cup of fat free cottage cheese. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Poured into baking pan and baked till it looked ready. Cut into 10 equal sized pieces.

English muffins – Lightly toasted

Lunch: Loaded taco bowl

Ground beef – 90/10. Cooked on low-medium heat, seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, sofrito seasoning from Trader Joe's, paprika and 25% less sodium taco seasoning. After browning, added tomato paste and pasta sauce. Added diced white onion, jalapeno, green bell pepper and tomato.

Potatoes – This took me forever. Cut and diced a bunch of potatoes, cleaned in an ice bath. Seasoned with cajun seasoning and paprika. Laid on a baking pan and cooked at 400F for a long long time lol

Pico de gallo – Diced white onion, jalapeno, green bell pepper and tomato with a mandolin. Seasoned with lime juice, salt, pepper and cilantro.

Sauce – Sriracha mayo, store bought

Dinner: Chicken pasta bake

Chicken – I used thin sliced chicken breast, seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, oregano and basil. Marinaded for ~30 min in the fridge (while I was cutting up my potatoes). Then cooked on medium heat.

Pasta – Barilla protein pasta, cooked according to instructions.

Sauce – I used regular garlic and basil (?) pasta sauce, added 1 cup of pasta water. Added in the cooked pasta after the sauce came to a simmer.

Bake – I then placed the pasta in a baking dish and added the cooked chicken. Mixed to distribute everything evenly. Added shredded cheese on top.

Snack: Chobani yogurt 20g protein

All in all, took me a little longer than usual for this week's meal prep due to the potatoes taking forever. I don't think they even came out the way I want them to; I have yet to try them today. I believe it took me about ~2.5 hours for prep last night.

I spent about $88 for the food.

For the breakfast sandwiches – usually I freeze them but I have run out of freezer space since a LONG time ago. I've been putting my sandwiches in the fridge and they hold up well for 5 days.

I work 10 hour shifts so I always eat my 3 meals + snack DURING work – I refuse to cook anything after a long day!!!

    Love to see it, great job. I can only imagine how much easier the week feels when you’re food is already made

  2. Well done! Even looking at this satisfies, and $88 for 2 ppl for 1 week is pretty good

    Nicely done! 30 meals for $88 is such a great deal we’ve saved so much by doing meal prep at home and eating out less.

    Looks so good!! How does the lil salad (tomatoes and cucumber or peppers) hold after a few days?
