💥News Flash!💥 The goal of meal prepping does

💥News Flash!💥 The goal of meal prepping doesn’t have to be to make everything completely ahead of time. The goal can be to alleviate the feeling of stress and overwhelm around meals. You can do this by:

⭐️Having a plan of attack at the start of the week that allows for some flexibility (cause life doesn’t always follow that plan!)
⭐️Take advantage of grocery delivery when you can. This seriously changed my life when I was starting to feel like the grocery store was my second home.
⭐️Figure out which meal components can be made ahead of time and what is best prepped fresh.
⭐️Try to find ways to make your ingredients to double duty in different meals to cut down on time and food waste.

When you follow this methodology, you can even apply it to the most basic of meals like a wedge salad. We freakin love wedge salads at our house! 🥗 But bacon can take 15-20 minutes to crisp up and hardboiled eggs take about the same by the time you cool them in the ice bath. (Don’t even get me started on store bought hardboiled eggs. I draw the line at those rubbery excuses of an egg.)

Luckily, both eggs and bacon and foundational staples in lots of dishes so by making them ahead of time you are setting yourself up for meal time success well beyond a wedge salad! 🥓🥚 Throw that bacon in a breakfast burrito! Add an egg on top of your lunch time buddha bowl! You get the idea. Now go make this refreshingly crisp wedge salad for dinner tonight and you’ll understand why iceberg lettuce was so popular in the 70’s!

Happy Saturday!! It’s been a doozy of a week and I don’t know about you but I’m SO ready for the weekend!

One of my favorite meal prep ingredients is sweet potatoes! Luckily I was #gifted a box of some organic beauties from @bakosweet. I couldn’t wait to incorporate them into my meal prepping! I mashed half and roasted the other half of the batch so I’d have some options for the week ahead.

Having pre-roasted sweet potatoes at my finger tips meant that these incredible tostadas came together in a pinch for a super easy vegetarian weeknight meal! All I had to do was simmer some black beans in spices and mash them up. While those warmed up, I blitzed up some avocado, lime juice, garlic and cilantro in a food processor to make a tangy and delicious sauce.

Some pickled red onions, crumbled feta and microgreens were the perfect accessory to kick these sweet potato tostadas up a notch!

They look fancy but I assure you that these tostadas are the answer to an easy, 10 min weeknight meal! Have a great weekend friends!

Obsessing over this cherry salad lately! 🥗🍒

Obsessing over this cherry salad lately! 🥗🍒 I know I’m biased but we really do grow the best cherries in Washington. 🥰 I always keep them on hand for snacking, and because they are such a delicious addition to salads.

This one starts with a bed of barley that I meal prep early in the week. That gets tossed with baby kale, crispy pancetta, chopped hazelnuts and goat cheese before adding those beautiful cherries. 🍒🥬🧀🥓🥗

A healthy drizzle of honey balsamic dressing amps of the flavor. I have a similar salad made with lentils but I’ve been on a barley kick lately because it keeps me feeling full and fueled.

Have a great Saturday y’all!

Do you call this a crisp or a crumble? The jury is undecided on that one! This may be the first dessert recipe I’ve ever posted on my feed 🙀 This nectarine crisp was too good not to share though!

The full recipe and step by step blog post will be coming atcha real soon but I wanted to give my insta friends a little sneak peak at this yumminess! 🍑

Nectarines and peaches are insane right now so a simple baked crumble really lets them shine with minimal effort. I load the crumble with tons of almonds for maximum crunch factor and zero sogginess. If nothing else, you’ll want to use the crumble part of the recipe on any seasonal fruit and keep that recipe tucked in your back pocket for an easy dessert to wow your friends.

In the meantime, happy hump day!

Happy Monday beautiful people! 👋🏻 I got home

Happy Monday beautiful people! 👋🏻 I got home late last night from a few days away with the family. It was sunny, relaxing and just what my soul needed! ☀️However, it put a little bit of a damper on my usual Sunday meal prep plans.

Life is about living so I don’t let it get me down when I don’t have the time to meal prep. (Although there’s no hard and fast rule it has to be done on a Sunday tbh). When that happens, I try to find just one thing that will make my life a little easier during the week.

One of the things that saves my butt the most is prepping little “snack packs” with things like fruits, veggies, hardboiled eggs, nuts, pita bread, hummus and so forth. 🥕🥒🌶🍇🫐🥖I’ll grab one on my way out the door in the morning so I can snack on it between meetings when I don’t necessarily have time for a full blown lunch break.

For this one, I made my favorite lemon beet hummus but you can totally just lean on store bought hummus, pre-cut veggies, and crackers to make things extra easy on yourself. Give it a try and your future self will thank you!

Oh hey there, happy Friday! If you need me, I’ll be over here devouring this summer grain bowl! 🙋‍♀️🥗

Nutty barley tossed with plump blueberries, juicy cherry tomatoes, sweet summer corn and tangy feta is the very definition of perfection! The. You go and mix it up with some lemon basil vinaigrette and W.O.W 🙀. Comment below with “Get in my belly” if you want the recipe!!

This recipe is the definition of eating “healthy” without depriving yourself. And the beautiful rainbow of colors doesn’t hurt either. 🌈

Enjoy your weekend friends! I’ll be enjoying some much needed family time at a cabin on the river in gorgeous eastern Washington. 😎✌🏻

It's always a tough balancing act when you want to

It's always a tough balancing act when you want to meal prep with organic fresh fruits and vegetables but they can also spoil quicker than you can keep up with. I love fresh strawberries but I swear they can be perfect in the store and starting to rot by the time I get home. Does that happen to you too?

So what do you do? 🤷‍♀️
I love incorporating fresh fruits into salad dressings as part of my meal prep program! This zippy strawberry basil dressing is so flavorful and the color is unreal. Plus it will last about 4 days in the fridge, extending your berries life span (maybe even longer, we just always devour it by then).

So next time you see a big flat of strawberries at the farmer’s market but you’re worried they’ll go bad before you can eat them all, give this strawberry basil dressing a try! Make sure you save this post for the recipe! 🍓🍓🍓

Strawberry Basil Dressing

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Blend well and taste test. Depending on the sweetness of the strawberries or sourness of the lemon, you may need to tweak a little to get it just right.

Happy Saturday! As you meal prep this weekend for

Happy Saturday! As you meal prep this weekend for the week ahead I challenge you to branch out and try adding some seafood to the mix! 🐟🍤There’s a few different ways you can do that.

1. Start with fool proof and hearty options like salmon or shrimp that hold up well. Skip things like oysters or scallops that really need to be prepared fresh.

2. Plan your weekly menu so that you eat your seafood within the first 1-2 days. I like to plan it so that I eat my seafood for dinner on a Monday night with leftovers or extras in my lunch on Tuesday.

3. If you’re still hesitant and would prefer your seafood is extra fresh, one of my favorite things to do is to complete all the other components of your meal ahead of time. That way when dinner rolls around, all you have to do is to cook off your seafood. Then you still have dinner on the table in about 10 min flat!

Here’s an example of salmon I meal prepped so that I could easily add a cold piece to the top of this delicious couscous bowl with summery peaches and a lemon chive vinaigrette.

How do you meal prep your seafood?
