Series (Week 2): Workweek Family Meal Plans ~ 3 Ingredient Prep for 3 Fast & Healthy Family Meals

 Here we are in week 2 of my series: Workweek Healthy Family Meal Plan! In case you missed last week (which is the blog post under this one) I prepped 3 main recipe ingredients ahead of time so that when it was time for dinner, I could pull these out and finish the recipe quickly.

The recipes are all different in flavor! So if you don't like eating the exact same meal multiple times, or your family feels the same, this is a perfect solution! Enjoy!

The 3 recipes:

Asian Lettuce Cups

Texas Chili

      

Italian Wedding Soup
    

 

The 3 ingredients to prep:

~Lean ground turkey

~Napa cabbage

~Brown rice

Series: Workweek Family Meal Plans: 3 Ingredient Prep for 3 Fast & Healthy Meals

 

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!
