Sunday Food Prep Inspiration 94

Hi friends!

No food prep for me last week but here are some readers with inspiration for you!

Melissa at Battle of Marathon –

This week is my last week before Christmas break at the school where I teach, and since I have our holiday party in mind on Friday, I thought I’d keep it light during the week. I find that if I prep healthy food before the craziness of the week sets in, I’m 99% more likely to eat more fruits and veggies…I’m sure you find the same thing, too. Otherwise, I just reach for peanut butter… Today I prepped:

• Chopped red and orange bell pepper; drained and rinsed black beans (in the container with the red lid); rinsed and chopped mushrooms; drained and cubed tofu, all for a stir fry I plan on repeating this week. I’ll dump this in a pan with chili powder and throw it over a bed of baby kale and top with salsa.
• Frozen bananas for green smoothies (this times three!).
• More sliced bell pepper– orange this time– in big pieces for dipping in hummus (in to-go packets, seen in front).
• Sweets: a mini batch of my adaptation of Angela’s breakfast cookies from Oh She Glows– I dumped a quarter cup of chocolate chips in there, but the base is still just raw oats, banana and cinnamon. I even went so far as to break up an organic TJ’s dark chocolate bar for easy access.

Here is my Sunday prep with
– Two salads in Jars (another fantastic idea from USA)
– Shepherds pie with sweet potato topping
– Chopped carrots and orange for snacks
– Chopped carrots and cucumber with hommus for snacks
– two breakfast wraps
– Barley
– Chicken breast that has been poached
– Brown rice
– Chicken casserole

Faith at The Conscientious Eater –

My husband and I are going out of town for Christmas vacation, but right when we get home we’ll be hosting my sister and brother-in-law. I wanted to prep some bread items that I could freeze while we’re gone and then thaw out or pop in the toaster when needed once we got home. I made my Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread, Whole Wheat Tortillas and Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins. I slice the bread and english muffins before freezing so that they’re easy to toast. I also cut up a pineapple and made some un-pictured granola.

I actually did some Christmas food prep as well yesterday- I made Minimalist Baker’s veggie meatballs for my sister and I on Christmas Eve. Also made two batches of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies…they’re an adaptation of the Oh She Glows breakfast cookies…one with mixed peanut butter and chocolate chips, and one with m&ms.
