I have a tendency to be really substantially a creature of habit, and I’ve been leaning into that extra to attempt to make meal organizing/prep a lot easier and reduce the quantity of occasions we choose to DoorDash our dinner. Sometimes these are not even recipes, they’re just effortless, tasty meals or meals combinations that are in the mix all the time.

I’ll give my personal, but I’m curious to hear yours — what meals do you have on repeat correct now? Are there some meals exactly where it is a bit extra like the Girl Dinner trend, i.e. just a snack plate?

What I Have on Repeat…

I’ve written just before about how correct now I’m focusing on protein, fiber, and water, and also attempting to be mindful of calories… so extended as I’m meeting my ambitions for these I’ll consume something else I have space in my stomach/caloric price range for the day.

I really should note that a lot of these meals are points that I’m generating like 6 servings of when and then freezing — I like freezing them into significant blocks by means of my Souper Cubes and then sticking them into a gallon-sized freezer Ziploc. For most of them I just take them straight from the freezer, place in a covered bowl, and microwave them at 50% energy for about 4 minutes, stir, then 1 minute in the freezer.

(I began performing this to attempt to make it a lot easier to grab meals with 30g protein, considering the fact that the prepackaged freezer meals I grab are commonly only 15-18g. As a bonus there’s a lot much less plastic and cardboard waste, and much less preservatives also.)

How do they taste? Um, I’d give most of them a 7/10 for taste — tasty but not the most scrumptious issue I’ve ever eaten. I’m nevertheless in the approach of modifying various recipes to add extra vegetables and beans (I typically assume microwaved chicken is gross, plus meat absolutely free is usually very good and yay fiber), and playing about with various spices to add in just after preparing them to give them a bit extra oomph. As usually, Trader Joe’s Umami seasoning is a godsend.

Meal Prep Things I Freeze

• Stealth Health Pepperoni Mac &amp Cheese — I preserve generating this with turkey pepperoni and Barilla protein pasta, and the final time I produced a batch I threw in a bag of frozen broccoli and spinach as effectively.
• Stealth Health Beefy Cheesy Burritos — I only freeze the filling component of this (into 1 cup cubes, not 2 cups), and then defrost them into a bowl, then plop it on a tortilla and add extra cheese for the final microwave step. They’re not really visually attractive, but they’re definitely tasty. There is not a lot of space to add extra vegetables to this a single mainly because they’re commonly a tight match for a lot of burritos we get. I got some random Carb Counter burrito wraps (18g of fiber!!!) and these guys are substantial.
• Sean Casey’s Taco Cheesy Rice — this a single is significantly enhanced by adding fresh guacamole or avocado salsa just before it is served, but it is tasty by itself also. The portions are certainly substantial, so the final time I produced it I divided it into 8 servings rather. I also added black beans the final time, which was very good — I assume the subsequent time I make it I’m going to do half cauliflower rice to get extra veggies in. (Maybe adding tiny chopped carrots as well? Hmmn.)

Salmon Recipes

We attempt to consume salmon when a week, so this is a specific category for my family…

• Ina Garten’s Panko-crusted salmon (h/t to the readers for introducing me to this a single!) — we just bake it at 350 but performing it in the cast iron and broiling it is a bit tastier.
• Skinnytaste’s Baked Pesto Chicken — we do this a single with salmon practically extra than we do it with chicken. I assume Kalyn’s Kitchen had a really comparable recipe involving foil packets, with the salmon laid on prime of green beans… we do not do the foil packets but we usually serve this with green beans.
• TikTok Salmon Bowl (Emily Mariko) — it definitely is tasty. This Popsugar post has a very good hyperlink and description.
• Baked Salmon with Wasabi Mayo – We could likely substitute a storebought sauce we just mix our personal with 1.5 limes, .25 cup mayo, .25 cup FFGY, .75T wasabi paste, 2t fresh ginger we bake the salmon really basically with onion powder and garlic powder on prime and serve this on the side. (You can do .5 cup mayo rather, and up the wasabi to 1.5T — but if you are performing the mix of mayo/FFGY you definitely have to reduce the wasabi down by about half.)
• Baked salmon – I like to add garlic powder, onion powder, and then a BUNCH of Lemon Herb seasoning (tougher to come across than Lemon Pepper, but that would function as well if you do not hate pepper like I do), and then a BUNCH of dried dill. We cook at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Game Time Decisions

These have a tendency to be the points we cook when it is 5:30 and do not have dinner planned…

• Kalyn’s Kitchen Sesame Chicken and Broccoli — for some purpose we usually do this a single with pork tenderloin rather of chicken, but what ever is defrosted at the time will be what we use. We all like it and it is definitely effortless we serve it with plain white rice. Sometimes we do the complete marinade, but Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce or Coconut Secret Organic Teriyaki Sauce are each wonderful cheats.
• Kalyn Kitchen Cajun Shrimp — we all adore this a single, but specifically if we have fresh bread to dip in the remarkable sauce. I occur to have pretty uncommon baking dishes that are fantastic – like ramekins but 3x the size of a ramekin, perhaps intended for scalloped potatoes at very first?
• Frozen chicken breast in the air fryer – you can make a juicy chicken in 15-20 minutes.

Not Really Recipes in the Crockpot

• Frozen chicken breast + 1 jar of salsa. Heat on High for 1-4 hours if that is when you want to consume, or higher for 1 hour then Low for 6-8 hours. I’ve added this to tacos, burritos, and place it on prime of nachos… not fancy but it is reliably tasty.
• Chicken breast + Frank’s Hot Wing Sauce. My recipe contains added 2T white vinegar and “1/8 tsp celery seeds,” then at the finish of its cooktime you add in 4 wedges of Laughing Cow cheese. I like to add cauliflower or broccoli to this a single to add veggies the subsequent time I make it I could attempt to add some white beans also. You can serve it more than pasta, or consume it as component of a wrap with lettuce and tomato.

Other Miscellaneous Meal Prep

• Protein yogurt – My existing mix is 15g protein powder, 24g powdered peanut butter, 19g Fiber One. Why 19g? Who knows. I add 170g of FFGY when I’m prepared to consume, if I’m consuming this as extra of a dessert I could add whipped cream and/or caramel sauce. I attempt to make 3 servings each time I make these, and then retailer the dried mix of components in containers that I dump in when I’m prepared to consume them.
• Overnight oats – I will meal prep these components: 15g CHOCOLATE protein powder, 24g powdered peanut butter, 30g oats. I have tiny glass yogurt containers that are fantastic for this so I’ll do 6 dry containers at a time, but I can run hot and cold on these so when I assume I could want to consume them inside 2-48 hours I only make 2, adding about 10g of chia and 85g of milk. (Too substantially extra and it gets soupy, plus it will not match in the container.) I preserve my chia seeds refrigerated so I add them at the finish, but if you assume of these as shelf steady you could add them with the dry components also.
• DIY snack bags – I heard this on a podcast and believed it was clever: make your personal snack bags to grab quickly. I usually utilized to consume a lot of beef jerky and string cheese via the years, but they’re much less than 10g of protein every so they’re much less of a very good snack by themselves, plus I like to portion the beef jerky which requires more time. So I’ve just beginning placing a serving of beef jerky + a string cheese into a tiny snack bag, and performing 2-3 of them at a time, and I’m shocked how typically I’m grabbing them. (They’re about 150 calories and 15g of protein every.)

Sadly, I assume that is the entirety of points we have on repeat at the moment… how about you guys?
