  • Blueberry Almond Baked Protein Oatmeal Muffins
  • Egg White Slices
  • Taco Ground Turkey with Sautéed Green Beans and Rice
  • Pan Seared, Oven Roasted NY Strip Steak with Asparagus and Potatoes
  • Pan Seared Chicken Tenders with Beets and Butternut Squash

There’s a lot going on in the world today, especially the US – Florida and the Caribbean are reeling from Hurricane Irma, wildfires are raging on the west coast, Mexico is recovering from a major earthquake, Texas is recovering from Hurricane Harvey, and it’s the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  So I’m just going to put this meal prep right here for you and wish you the best of luck with your week!

This is a pretty quick prep once again, because my second semester of grad school is already underway and I think it’s going to be another rough one.  Here’s what’s on the menu:

    hello, i was directed here from Foodnetwork site with regards to meal planning. I see your planning meals here and think its amazing. Quick question as i am new to your site but how many days in advance are you prepping and cooking for or are you splitting the prep and cooking for the week in half so meals on the 6th or 7th day are not 6-7 days old? Are you freezing anything? thanks in advance and looking forward to this site!

      Hi Pablo! Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂 My meal prep posts will show you how many days I’m planning for under the meal plan section. This one is for 6 days. I cook all the food at one time and don’t freeze it. I’ve never had any issues with food lasting that long, although you have to account for things like fish or salads that you would need to eat earlier in the week. Fish usually lasts about 4 days including the day you made it and salads are usually fine on day 5, but it depends on what kind of lettuce you use. Hope this helps!
