Two Meal Tuesdays- Chicken and Risotto & Ziti, Oh my!

Let me tell you all something, I LOVE to meal prep. Don’t get me wrong, I love experimenting with recipes and cooking during the week, but with a full time job, kickboxing, and trying to have a social life, it just doesn’t work out all the time.

Enter: Meal prepping. See my Recipes tab for how to make the Lemon Chicken & Asparagus w/Mushroom Risotto, and Rachel Ray inspired Sausage Ziti Bake from yesterday’s Instagram story.

If I’m feeling really motivated to meal prep, I will make two dishes in one night, sometimes staying up until 11 pm to finish crafting my dinners/lunches for the next week.

If you can make food in bulk like this and you don’t mind eating off two dishes for a week or two, it is a huge time and money saver!! If I meal prep something in the crockpot or a big baked/sheet pan dish, it will sometimes last me two weeks from that day. Amazing to not have to go out and spend on groceries if you plan it right. This is a great tactic for busy parents needing to prep school lunches, dinners before dance recitals, soccer practices, band concerts, or just people who only have the energy to cook once a week.

So how was your weekend Foodie Friends? What are some of your favorite things to make for meal prepping? Sound out in the comments below and let me know your suggestions of recipes or places we should visit next. As always, feel free to like, comment, & share 🤗

Hi, my name is Sarah! I love recipe testing, food photography, longs walks (more like sprints) on the beach on vacation with my American Staffy, Cinnamon Bun, and discovering new cuisines and local restaurants to share with you! Thanks so much for the love and support of our foodie adventures :)

    Maybe someday I’ll be as adventurous as you are with trying new recipes!

      Thank you Joan! I appreciate it, I learned from the best 😊 When I was younger, my parents made sure that we tried foods from different cultures, so I get my love of adventurous eating from them 💜
