I've said it over & over, but preparing ahead really is the key! Making a little extra doesn't take a lot of work. Just throw in some extra meat & veggies when grilling, baking or stir-frying. Make a big batch of buckwheat waffles on Sunday & have them all week OR boil a large pot of steal cut oats & breakfast is one scoop away.
Today I did some prep by making 4 large
Buckwheat Waffles - 1 as a meal or 1/2 as a snack.
It took me about 15 minutes from mixing to clean-up. Now, the extras are in the freezer waiting for the toaster & some berries.
(See recipe on "Fit Recipes" page)
For dinner, we made super fast & easy
Beef & Broccoli - 5 ingredients, 10 minutes... it's dinner for 4 people or 4 days for one person. Double the recipe and have dinner and/or lunch tomorrow.
What you need:
(for 2 servings)
8oz NY strip
2C fresh broccoli
1/2TBSP fresh grated ginger or pickled ginger
1/4 sweet onion
2TBSP low-sugar stir-fry sauce (3g or less per TBSP)
How to:
Slice steak & add to skillet on medium heat. Add chopped onion, ginger & broccoli. Spoon in 2-3 TBSP of water. Cover & simmer until broccoli is tender. Add sauce and let flavors mingle. You can also sprinkle in pepper, garlic salt & other seasonings of choice.
I'm making bell peppers stuffed with lean ground beef and hot sauce for dinner and then tomorrow I will reheat one with oat groats for lunch. It takes the guessing out of it tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteThat's the way to do it! Leftovers make a perfect, easy lunch! And stuffed peppers are amazing!,
ReplyDeleteDo the waffles freeze well?
ReplyDeleteYes! We drop the waffles in the toaster the next morning and they taste great!! Way better than an Eggo ;-)
