These Breakfast Burrito Bowls are the perfect meal prep recipe for when you need something quick and inexpensive. Theses come out to less than $1.70 per meal (not including seasoning or olive oil since most people have that already). Make this for a quick breakfast or lunch during the week to make eating healthy a no-brainer.  Start out by making a batch of my Roasted Potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and dice your potatoes into evenly sized 1″ pieces. Mix with the 1 tbsp of olive oil and your seasonings of choice. I used 1/2 tbsp Fresh Jax Toasted Onion Seasoning.Read More →

A common myth of meal prepping is that it is expensive. But this isn’t true! With a little bit of planning, you can easily find recipes that won’t break the bank. Take this one for example! This Chicken Enchilada Skillet recipe will cost you $2.50 per meal or less. To be honest you probably have some of the ingredients in your kitchen already, which would bring down the cost a lot. For example, this meal prep cost me $1.50 per meal, and I made 5 meals! Now onto the recipe… Start out by adding the chicken broth and chili powder to a large skillet withRead More →

I have to admit, when I first got my Instant Pot, I was a little intimidated by it. I’m so used to just being able to throw ingredients together in a pan and hope it turns out okay. But with an instant pot, there is almost a science to it. My very first time cooking with it I had the “burn” message pot up on the screen, and it’s safe to say that freaked me out. However after more practice I can finally say that I really love my instant pot! It can help you make some really delicious meals in no time! For exampleRead More →

I realize that trying to eat enough protein is hard enough, let alone it being so darn expensive. I always keep my eye out for sales on chicken, turkey, and beef. But sometimes it’s nice to make a meatless meal that’s still high in protein. This recipe is also perfect for any vegetarians out there who struggle to eat enough protein. My secret ingredient is chickpea pasta! It’s only ingredient is chickpeas, but it surprisingly tastes just like regular pasta! Even the pickiest of eaters will agree. You could probably even get away with not telling your kids (or husband) and they won’t even knowRead More →
