Just because this week is Christmas doesn’t mean I won’t meal prep š It’s a short week, so not a lot of food, but I want to make sure I at least start the week off right before the holiday feasts begin!
You may notice that it looks like I’ve got 8 breakfasts here, butĀ you’d be wrong(ish). Ā Although I will eat breakfast for dinner at any opportunity, this here Shakshuka is actually meant to be for dinner on my menu this week. Ā Yes, sure, it’s a breakfast dish normally, but I added sweet potato, sausage and spaghetti squash to make it hearty enough for post-gym grub. Ā You can have it for brunch if you’d like š
