Meal Prep Mondays – One Week Prep

Holy meal prep batman.  This one tired me out for sure…I tried out a couple new things (tomato, basil and spinach egg white frittata and turkey patties) and threw together some salads which I don’t normally do while meal prepping.  No chance I’ll be getting bored with my food this week!

My George Foreman and oven were both running non-stop for quite a while on this one – let’s just say I didn’t think things through before I started cooking.  Like how the tray of sweet potatoes and broccoli could cook at the same time as the frittata.  And so could the mahi mahi.  Oh well, at least now I’ve got food for the week and don’t have to cook again, aside from throwing stuff in the microwave.

Recipes that aren’t linked are at the bottom of the post.  Here’s what I’ve got for the week’s meals (I just numbered the days since I’m posting this late):
