If taco Tuesday can be a thing, why not wrap Wedne

If taco Tuesday can be a thing, why not wrap Wednesday? 🌯😋 Wraps are the perfect way to use up a hodgepodge of ingredients you have on hand.

I like to rely on a mix of things I’ve meal prepped (sweet potatoes, brown rice, and cilantro jalapeño sauce), pantry staples (black beans) and fresh finishes (romaine, bell peppers and tomato).

Cheese or chicken would have been delicious too. However i strive to eat less meat and I find that lunch is one of the easiest places to keep things plant-based since I’m usually fending for myself and not feeding my meat-loving troops.

What’s your go to for a quick and easy lunch?

I have a secret to tell you...I don’t actually m

I have a secret to tell you...I don’t actually meal prep every weekend. 🙊 Sometimes life is too busy or life is actually not busy and I’m able to make meals from scratch on the daily. And sometimes I’m just too tired to even think about meal prepping. But there’s something you should know:

-Meal prep doesn’t have to be done on a weekend.
-Meal prep doesn’t have to be done all in one session.
-Meal prep doesn’t have to mean an entire weeks worth of meals.

So shake off whatever preconceived notions you have of what meal prep means and discover what it actually means to YOU. Some weeks all I can muster up os a batch of hard-boiled eggs and that’s OK. Those egg save my ass when I’m starving and need some thing in a pinch.

During weeks like this, I try to focus on making extra of some thing to at least give me a leg up on the next meal.

For lunch today I whipped up a batch of couscous which takes five minutes. Then I topped it with some of my favorite green vegetables and made a big batch of lemon basil vinaigrette. And that’s it! Now I have extra couscous, asparagus, and vinaigrette to help me out come dinner time.

I hope this helps take some of the overwhelm out of meal prepping for you! Is there anything that stresses you out about meal prep?

Ahhhh I’m so happy the weekend is finally here!

Ahhhh I’m so happy the weekend is finally here! This last week was a blur but these open faced sandwiches with smashed avocado and egg salad were a life saver when I didn’t have anything planned for lunch. 🥑🥚🍞

Well that’s a wrap on this week’s meal plan. Scroll through to see the highlights. 👉 I have a hard time picking a favorite but I think it might be the breakfast burritos.

Which recipe is your fave from this week? I’d love to know so it can help me plan more good stuff for you! Let me know in the comments 🙏👇

Last but not least from this week's meal plan was

Last but not least from this week's meal plan was a tasty caramelized onion, squash and bacon flatbread! 🥓🧅🧀🍕Since the onion, squash and bacon were already prepped, all I had to do was pop it in the oven at 400 for about 8 minutes. 🙌

I used a piece of pita bread since it's what I had on hand but pizza dough or naan would be equally delish! For the base, I simply spread some olive oil with a minced clove of garlic and then added the toppings. I kept it light with a sprinkle of goat cheese and some fresh arugula after bake.

The only thing that would have made this better would have been a drizzle of balsamic reduction if I had some on hand. 🤤

I forgot how quick and easy flatbread is, and it’s such a great option for helping clean out your fridge.

All in all, the flavors hit all the right notes but the fact that dinner was so stress free was just as enjoyable!

What toppings would you add?

Getting up close and personal with this delicious

Getting up close and personal with this delicious lentil salad with bacon and squash! I’m the only one who will eat lentils in our house, so luckily that meant I got it all to myself!

In a skillet, I crisped up the bacon I precooked and warmed up the cubed and roasted butternut squash. I ended up using a package of presteamed lentils to make things extra easy. They don’t even need to be heated up!

I assembled a bowl of the lentils, some fresh arugula, and the warm squash and bacon. To take it to the next level, I added dried cranberries and goat cheese on top and drizzled it with my honey balsamic dressing.

If you use the base formula of the lentils, greens, and balsamic dressing, the sky is really the limit with what kind of toppings you can add! I love to mix it up with roasted Brussel sprouts or mushrooms. How would you customize this salad?

Welp, everything I typed up got deleted so I’m gonna keep this short and sweet! Tuesday’s steak tacos got repurposed into last night’s steak salad 🙌🥩🥗

Being super Irish, I’m a real meat and potatoes kind of girl, even when it comes to my salads! If you’ve never tried warm, roasty potatoes on your salad, you’re missing out! I like to use arugula or kale because they can stand up to warm steak and potatoes without getting wilty.

From this week’s meal prep I used the roasted butternut squash and potatoes, and honey balsamic dressing. I seared off the steak fresh as well as the zucchini because it gets soggy easily if made too far in advance. Then I added fresh tomato and goat cheese to take it to the next level. 💫

As far as salads go, this one will leave you completely satisfied! Make sure you like and save so Instagram knows you like my recipes 🙏

Never not looking forward to taco Tuesday! I made

Never not looking forward to taco Tuesday! I made flank steak this week, sliced it thin and served it over mashed avocado and those yummy peppers and caramelized onions I pre-prepped. Delish! You’ll definitely want to save this idea! 🙌🌮🥩🥑

In order to get two meals out of this flank steak, I cut it in two pieces before I seared. One of them was cooked to perfection for the steak tacos. The other piece I undercooked by about 10 degrees knowing I’d be reheating it for tomorrow’s steak salad. That way it’s not not over cooked and tough.

I love how easy this dinner was! It took 10 minutes to wear the steak which was just long enough to char some corn tortillas, reheat the veggies and mash the avo. 🥑🧅🫑

The added bonus of meal prepping is knowing your plan for your meals. Just knowing ahead of time what I’ll be making takes SO much stress out of meal time. This girl loves having a plan. Would you rather wing it or plan ahead?

How many of you are having tacos tonight? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Happy Monday! After meal prepping this weekend, I

Happy Monday! After meal prepping this weekend, I was SOO looking forward to these breakfast burritos! I loaded them up with all the good stuff like soft scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, bell peppers, crispy bacon, roasted potatoes, cheddar cheese, and salsa. They are absolutely dynamite! 🌯💥

You actually assemble the burritos ahead of time and keep them in the fridge, or even freeze them. Just make sure all of the ingredients have cooled to room temperature before assembling to avoid any sogginess. Then wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store in the freezer inside an airtight container or ziplock. To reheat, just microwave for about 4 minutes.

I also like to crisp them up in a skillet or grill pan in order to add extra crunch and texture to the tortilla. Once you do this, there’s no going back!

Are you team Cholula or team Tabasco? In our family we have an ongoing debate over which hot sauce is better, but luckily that means we never have to share our hot sauce with one another! 😁🌶
