Hi guys & happy Saturday!
Tonight I had the apartment to myself and felt like cooking all the food sitting in the fridge for some meal preps. If anyone remembers my last post, I made copycat Fresh Kitchen bowls and they were so good that I made the same ones AGAIN less than 2 weeks later!
I love to share my ingredients + methods of cooking so everything is listed below:
———
Fresh Kitchen Copycat Bowls
Quinoa
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
Seasonings: Salt
I simply throw everything into my rice cooker and within 30 minutes it’s done!
Citrus Chicken
1 lb chicken
Marinade/Seasonings: Olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, and a random “garlic butter” seasoning I had from Aldi
I marinated in the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic butter seasoning. I needed the protein of these preps to be hands-off since everything else was so hand on so I put these on a baking sheet, seasoned, and threw in the oven at 400°f for about 20 minutes
Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes
4 sweet potatoes, washed/scrubbed + diced
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
Wash, dice, coat in olive oil + seasonings. I air fried these at 400°f for about 12 minutes, shaking every time I remembered (about every 3-4 minutes)
Roasted Broccoli
2 crowns of broccoli, washed + cut
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder
Wash, cut, coat in olive oil and squeeze some lemon juice over top. Then coat in seasonings and air fry at 375°f for about 12 minutes, shake as often as possible (every 3-4 minutes)
Not Pictured: Coconut Sriracha Sauce
1/2 can coconut cream
Sriracha (to taste, maybe 1/2tbsp-1tbsp)
Honey (if you like it sweeter)
Optional: lemon juice + garlic powder
Just stir this all together and you have a delicious sauce to dip or drizzle onto your meal!

Fiancé’s Meals
Citrus Chicken
1 lb chicken
Marinade/Seasonings: Olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, and a random “garlic butter” seasoning I had from Aldi
Same chicken used in FK bowls, refer to instructions above
Garlic Butter Green Beans
Green beans, washed + snipped
Seasonings: Salt, garlic powder
I heated a pan over medium heat, poured in about 1/4 cup water, tossed in the green beans with the salt and garlic powder, covered with tin foil (or a lid of course) to steam and just stirred them around every few minutes until they were done. Uncovered to let water evaporate and added about 1 tbsp butter
Crispy Roasted Baby Potatoes
Baby potatoes, washed + cut
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, italian seasoning, parmesan cheese
Wash, cut into small pieces, coat in olive oil and seasonings. Air fry at 400°f for 15 minutes, shaking as often as possible (about every 3-4 minutes) for even crispness.

Lengthy post but I hope many people are able to recreate anything that looks delicious to them! I absolutely love to cook with my heart so everything here is just what i’ve come up with over the years. This took me about 2 hours (taking my time) and most of the time was because I air fried everything and had to wait for each thing to be done to start the next thing. You can totally roast in the oven but I tend to burn things when it’s not right in front of me, so the air fryer won tonight. If anyone has any comments or questions, I’m always happy to reply!
Happy meal prepping! 💚
