Meal Planning made simple!

Me and the wife have found a pretty solid routine for our weekends when it comes to our fitness & nutrition. Saturdays are for meal planning and Sundays are for actual meal prep. We aren't extreme meal preppers - no scales or talking about grams of chicken! We just sit down and brainstorm some of our favorite foods that we'd be up for eating in the coming week. For proteins this week, we're having chilli, chicken breast, chicken thighs, salmon and spaghetti (in no particular order). We aren't at the point of mass cooking lunch/dinner on Sundays for the whole week, primarily because we don't have the space in our freezer (wishlist: deep freezer!). If you have a similar challenge consider trying it the way we do it. 

Once we do the brainstorming, sides included, we do an inventory of what's in the cabinets/fridge (because nothing sucks more than buying something you already have some of) and then make our grocery list. Wifey does the shopping (God Bless that beautiful woman) and we cook on Sunday for Sunday dinner, Monday lunch, and Monday dinner. On Monday, we cook Tuesday's lunch and dinner... you get the pattern. 

One recipe I want to share is what I have for breakfast everyday. It's quick, easy, and most of all delicious! Granted, since we started making these, we've changed it up some (like using turkey instead of these sodium rich sausages and egg whites instead of whole eggs) but this recipe for Amazing Muffin Cups will definitely make your days start faster and better. Eat up!
