I have never considered myself organized enough to actually plan out meals for my family and shop for them AND make them. I had this idea that meal prep took a whole day of cooking plus the several hours of shopping for it. 😳
I guess it can take that long depending on what and how much you are making, but I don't have an entire day to spend cooking so I had to figure out something else that worked for me.
Thanks to some ideas I got from Pinterest and the Fixate cookbook (link below), I came up with some ideas that worked for my family and helped me to lose 5.2 lbs in 7 days! 👊😃
This is my FAVORITE meal to prep ahead! Turkey taco meat made with homemade taco seasoning and veggies ready to throw together for taco salad. I put a little salsa on top and it is perfect!
Taco seasoning:
1 tbls chili powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp garlic powder
I double this recipe since I make two pounds of ground turkey at a time. Plus I like mine spicy! 😉
Chili! I mean it's Fall, and the air is brisk...which means it's time for chili! Again, I make my own chili seasoning instead of buying the packet because there's just so much sodium in those envelopes. It's not much different from the taco seasoning, I just add more chili powder. I make mine with turkey, ground chicken, or lean ground beef (whatever your preference) and use tomato sauce with no added sugar.
These are just a couple examples of what I find works for me and keeps me away from the drive thru!
This is something else that has helped me stay on track. I have a group of challengers on Facebook and we encourage each there and keep each other accountable. I made the commitment to snap a picture of each meal everyday and share with them. It really makes you think twice about what you eat when you know you're going to take a picture and share with the group each night! 💥‼️
If you are ready for a change, contact me and let's talk!!
