This week I made:
- cauliflower rice
- jap chae (recipe will be up tomorrow!)
- split pea soup in my crockpot
- hard boiled eggs
Here’s how I did it:
First, I got the soup going. I love my crockpot. I chopped an onion and celery and tossed ’em in. Then I added a bag of almost empty carrots and broccoli. I added the rest of my split peas, a bunch of bone broth and a ham hock. I popped the top on, turned it on high and got it out three hours later.
It really was as simple as that. I pulled all the meat off the ham hock, which was a lot. You really don’t need specific recipes to make simple meals like this.
Second, I made a ton of jap chae. It basically involves sauteeing a bunch of vegetables and steak and tossing it all with coconut aminos and sweet potato noodles. It’s super easy and you can check back tomorrow for the recipe.
While I was making the jap chae, the hard boiled eggs were cooking. I take them out of the fridge for a snack whenever I’m kind of hungry.
Lastly I sauteed a big ol’ bag of cauliflower rice in avocado oil. I added some salt and cumin and cooked until it all just started to soften. This was for side dishes and it worked out so well. I just had to take out individual portions and heat them up.
Groceries needed for this:
- bone broth
- ham hock
- bag of carrots and broccoli
- split peas
- onion
- carrots
- eggs
- sweet potato noodles
- snap peas
- red onion
- bell pepper
- garlic
- coconut aminos
- cauliflower rice
All of this took me about an hour and a half. I did it while my laundry was going and then I was set for the week. Meal prep is so easy – it saves time and money. I highly recommend doing this on Saturday or Sunday so you have food ready to go for the week!
