Spicy Tuna Nori Bake
This meal is a one pan wonder. Japan was a foodie culture for sure and this easy meal prep takes me back to my travels there!
20-Minute Salmon Bowl
I love a good salmon and rice bowl, or poke bowl, so this is my go-to dinner when I’m craving something quick and have nothing prepped.
Steak Bowl
A great balance of protein, fat, carbs, and fiber!
Chicken Noodle Bake
This is a recipe that I got from my friend Thyme and Joy and I love it! It's the perfect cozy, high protein, dinner.
Chicken Adobo
This is a recipe that’s been in my family (from my aunt) for many, many years. It’s super simple to prepare, and both adults and kids enjoy it! It’s super customizable, so you can pair it with various styles of rice and vegetables. Even though it’s only a few ingredients, it’s packed with a ton of flavor and high in protein. It takes an hour to make, but all you need to do is dump all of the ingredients in a pot and let it cook for the hour. Enjoy!
Instant Pot Chicken & Quinoa Chili
I love how simple this recipe is. Very little prep and very little clean up! It’s high-protein, high-fiber, AND inexpensive. It’s a staple meal in my house!
Tomatillo Salmon
This might seem intimidating if you’re not used to working with spices or peppers but the sauce yields plenty of leftovers that I have been using as salsa on EVERYTHING! Well worth the effort!
Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
When we make this meal we try to make at least double the servings for dinner so we have lunch the next day, but sometimes even triple the portions. It's meal prep without the formal meal-prepping.
Sweet Thai Chili Beef Bowl
This meal comes together quickly. It’s been perfect for busy weeknights and uses minimal ingredients!
Mander’s taco bowl
A super easy bowl to put together with different textures!
Simple Rosemary chuck roast
This is an incredibly easy yet delicious pot roast. Short on time? This meal cooks itself. Family friendly as it has an easy flavor everyone can agree on. Pairs perfectly with roasted sweet or red potatoes. Also delicious over rice.
Chicken Mediterranean Bowl
This is a more basic take on a Mediterranean bowl - minimizing ingredients to keep it simple for grocery shopping, while still giving you a nice balance of nutrients to carry you through the afternoon. This meal is very meal-preppable - just heat back up the things you want hot (the chicken, rice, and sweet potatoes), and add the other cold things (the tzatziki, veggies, and feta) to finish it off! The two components that need roasting (sweet potato and chicken) are cooked at the same temperature, so if you play your timing right, you can make this super efficient to make the most of your meal prep time.
sheet pan honey mustard chicken with sweet potato & bacon
Sheet pan meals make dinner such a breeze, but sometimes they can feel boring. There are two ways I love to elevate them: bacon and FUN toppings. This one’s a bit unexpected—chicken topped with an arugula, pecan, date, and feta crumble—bringing sweet, savory, tender, and crunchy together in one bite. A beautiful dinner in just an hour from start to finish.
Kelsey's Taco Bowl
This is an easy, high-volume meal that works great for meal prep and busy weeks. It’s packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, and can be customized with toppings based on hunger, training days, or macro needs. Can be eaten as a bowl or with chips used for dipping! Topped with greek yogurt or sour cream, cheese and avocado!
Trader Joe's Lemon Rosemary Farro Chicken Salad
I am always looking for an excuse to get to Trader Joe's, so here is yours. Flavors are simple, fresh and easy to adjust based on your preference. Bon appétit!
Beef & Broccoli
Beef and broccoli is my ultimate comfort meal. It's incredibly easy to whip up and prep in bigger batches for future meals. I honestly prefer this recipe compared to my local restaurant options!
Sausage Tortellini Soup
A yummy option to warm up with in these last days of winter!
