As a full time college student, I don't have the time to cook everyday for each meal. I have always loved cooking for my family and friends, but when it comes to cooking for one, I just didn't see the point.
However, after eating way too many Amy's frozen meals, I decided to give meal prepping a go.
To start out, I made two bigger recipes a week that I used for lunches and/or dinners. This has worked out pretty well for me since I normally eat smaller breakfasts and have random meals with my roommates here and there.
Through doing this, I have found my love for cooking again and it's something I look forward to. Honestly, cooking is kind of like therapy or a well deserved break from work. I put on my favorite Spotify playlist, dance around the kitchen, and don't think about my worries for a while.
I have been meal prepping for around two months now and I have a few recipes that I constantly go back to. I wanted to share them with you all because not only are they tasty, they are super easy and cheap to make. Anyone without a lot of time and/or money on their hands will love these recipes!
Greek Couscous Salad
- Recipe
- Super fresh and healthy!
- I don't feel heavy after eating it.
Roasted Brussel Sprout Bowls
- Recipe
- I cooked the sausage and veggies for around 20 mins and it was perfect!
- Sauce is delicious and goes a long way!
Baked Mac & Cheese
- Recipe
- As you can see, it's a big hit with my roomies!
- I added extra cheese to have a creamy sauce.
Southwest Sweet Potato Bowl
- Recipe
- Really simple and great for lunch.
- I used a little sour cream on the side.
I also love:
- Smoky Roasted Sausage and Vegetables
- I opted out of the rice and used mini potatoes instead. I just cut them in half and roasted them on the same pan as the rest of the ingredients.
- I recommend using less oil when coating the sausage and veggies.
- Chili Cornbread Skillet
- I added sugar to the chili just like my mom taught me.
Those are some of the meal prep recipes I have been loving lately. Let me know if you try any of these recipes in the comments below!
