I absolutely love this meal prep. As a matter of fact I'm going to make the cowboy caviar and the egg salad today. Yes, I'm going to try to instant pot. Never have cooked eggs in there before. And yesterday I did zucchini roasted in the oven. I had already bought a rotisserie chicken so I had some meat on hand already. I love this type of meal prepping and every one of your recipes looked absolutely wonderful for this week. Thank you for
Thanks for sharing this one! I used the concept this weekend as I didn't meal plan either. I cooked up some chicken, then roasted 1/2 cabbage & a sweet potato. I shredded the other 1/2 cabbage, those are in my fridge & I can mix and match to eat for lunch this week.
Talk about setting yourself up for success! I really need to try the bean salad. I love black beans. I love cilantro and so does my husband. I have never put olives in my egg salad, but that is a great idea as I feel like it usually needs something more. Not sure if this is a Midwest thing, but I use Miracle Whip salad dressing in mine instead of mayo. The Bare chicken is so yummy. I use it on salads and rice/cauli-rice bowls. It’s great when you need something fast. My husband is not a fan of overly roasted vegetables so I have to be careful with that. I love them though. Loved the video! Great ideas!
Thanks so much!! No, I don't think it's a Midwest thing - my dad always loved Miracle Whip - I couldn't stand it. LOL The only thing I like it in is when I make my Big Mac salads, I'll use it in the dressing. :)
Since I know you shop at Aldi, have you ever tried the Kirkland RED bag of chicken nuggets they carry? Sometimes they are out of them as they are compared to Chick-filay. Then you can make a sugar free copy cat sauce for dipping. So yummy! ;)
Awww....you're so sweet!! You know, I started one like three years ago and just never could dedicate the time involved to do it. I really need to try to get back to it. 🥰
Oooh, thanks for the fab ideas! Being an intermittent faster, I'm always looking for ways to incorporate more protein in my diet, and these dishes really pack in the protein without having to eat a big serving. I'm definitely going to incorporate the bean salsa and egg salad into my meal planning. I love avocado, so I'm going to try the mason jar trick as well. Tfs! ❤
Thanks so much!! I'm curious how long the avocado will last in there. I may have to try it. Even in my food huggers, I can only keep them in there for like a day.
Ohhhh, I absolutely love olives - green or black, doesn't matter! LOL The black bean salad lasted all week for me, but towards the end the avocado was definitely more mushy, but not bad at all. Another option though is just add a little avocado to it each day instead. :)
