It has been too long since I’ve posted one of my meal preps!  I guess that’s because I’ve been hoarding recipes for my eBook for quite a while now.  So if you want to see what I’ve been up to and get lots of meal prep recipes, go check it out!  I’m planning to hit the go button in the next day or two (a week ahead of schedule!).  Any who…I’m not sure what possessed me to make a bunch of recipes for my meal prep that required coming up with all new recipes and nutrition info but these ones were actually really easy.

1-img_8983Italian wedding soup is a no brainer and I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to come up with a recipe for it!  I made mine nice and hearty so it makes sense to eat as a meal.  Lots of meatballs, lots of veggies and enough pasta to keep me full without going overboard on carbs.  Perfect for chilly fall days.

And then there’s this Paleo Lemon Chicken Picatta.  The light sucks on the picture above so here’s it’s own glamour shot…it was incredibly easy to throw this recipe together.  There’s lots of sauce in there too, you just can’t see because it sank down to the bottom of the spaghetti squash pile.  Feel free to sub out the zucchini with whatever veggies you want.

    Hi! Still trying to get a grasp of the meal planning thing. I’m concerned about the freshness of the food by day 5, 6 or 7 and would hate to waste it. Do you make your meals for all week and things aren’t spoiled and still taste fresh?

      Hi Christine! Your concerns about freshness aren’t unfounded…for example, if you plan to eat a fish dish 5 days after cooking it you will probably not be happy with the results. It’s all about planning the RIGHT meals for those 5th, 6th and 7th days if you choose to prep that far in advance. There are lots of tips and tricks in my eBook to help you keep your food as fresh and delicious as possible, but I will say this: sauces are your friend and your freezer can be too (especially for things like the wedding soup I made here). Hope this helps!
