I've heard from many of you what you need are HEALTHY MEALS FAST for your family during the busy work week. To respond to this request I created a new blog series called "Workweek Family Meal Plans: A 3 ingredient prep for 3 Fast & Healthy Family Meals."
Each week I will give you 3 recipes each of which uses the same three ingredients for the base of the recipe yet the recipes will be very very different! You will prep only these three ingredients on the weekend (or your day off of work if it is not the weekend). You will then use these three prepped ingredients to quickly assemble the fresh recipes provided.
For example, this week I bulk prepped shredded chicken, brown rice, and broccoli. I then stored these ingredients in the fridge and used them on three separate work nights to make the following healthy family meals: BBQ Chicken Casserole, White Chicken Chili, and Chicken Fried Rice. Because the main ingredients were already prepped it helped to make the dinner preparation FAST!
A bonus side effect is that by buying the ingredients you are prepping in bulk it is also economical! It has also enabled us to add newness into our usual weekly go to meals. Who knew that three basic ingredients could be turned into such different meals! Enjoy!
