Sunday Food Prep Inspiration 102
Hi Friends!
It’s Sunday and that means it’s time to talk food prep. Yesterday I was on the local news doing just that! My friends at Good Day Columbus invited me to come chat with them for a little bit about the benefits of food prep and I was happy to oblige!
In order to prepare, I did my food prep on Friday. Then I packed it all up on Saturday morning and hubby and I headed down to the station.
We got everything set up, watched a few of the guests before me and then it was my turn!
Here’s what I prepped:
- Quinoa Breakfast Bars
- PB Banana Oat Muffins
- Beer Braised Pulled Pork
- Tuna Quinoa Cakes
- Chicken Enchilada filling
- Cheese Stuffed Chicken Meatballs (I cut up some string cheese and stuffed a piece in the middle of each one)
- Sweet Potato Banana Bites
- Oven Roasted Chicken
- Hard boiled Eggs
- Black Beans
- Lemon Pepper Baked Salmon
- Veggies
Hubby, as always, was my biggest fan. He was very excited to be on set
Squish stayed home with grandma and grandpa and watched me on TV…but next time I might bring him to the studio so they can all dote on him!
If you’re interested, you can watch my interview here. Hopefully the video will show up…if not, click the link below it.

Many of you have asked about the edge pan i use for my Quinoa Breakfast Bars. The exact one I have isn’t currently available through Amazon but here are some similar ones that would give you lots of nice edge pieces like I enjoy:
And in case you’re wondering, this is the set of glass Pyrex containers I have:
Here’s what some of you did last week:
Heather at Hungry for Balance –
This week I made 2 loaves of homemade sourdough cinnamon raisin bread (with my own starter!!), hard boiled eggs to go over salad greens for my lunches, chopped veggies for salads and snacks, banana-egg muffins for my 15 month old daughter’s breakfasts/snacks, hummus, sunflower seed butter in my food processor (so much cheaper than buying it), pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (recipe on blog), and lentil-veggie-coconut curry for dinners this week.
Amanda at Cooking Up Giggles –
Cuban inspired black beans and rice with “fried” bananas, tomatoes, and avocado. Smoked turkey sausage to be used with pan sauteed broccoli and tomato pasta. Italian chicken sausage with roasted potatoes and vegetables. No bake energy bites for afternoon snacks. Blueberry chia jam to be used with toast and yogurt for breakfast. Lentils and mixed vegetables in the crockpot which will be topped with puff pastry on the day of for a pot pie (inspired by your recipe). I always make enough dinner for my husband and I to pack for lunch…and definitely made enough food for leftovers one night.
Coele –
Starting from the top:
We cooked a whole turkey on Sunday to be able to use for a while. Froze most of it and will use it in a breakfast casserole, sandwiches, and salads this week. On the left under that I pre-breaded some chicken nuggets to be ready to bake for dinner tonight. Under that I pre-cooked chicken and diced it up for a chicken Parmesan casserole. On the right we have hard-boiled eggs and almonds butter bites for snacks. And then salad fixings in the middle which I don’t divide up since I work from home and can make a salad pretty quickly.
That’s all for this week. Oh, and I started a new series yesterday!
