Kung Pao Chicken

Makes 4 Servings

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs

  • 2 red bell peppers

  • 1 green bell pepper

  • 1 small yellow onion

  • 1 tbs cornstarch

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 tbs honey

  • 2 tbs balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbs hoisin sauce

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1 tsp ginger powder

  • 1 tbs minced garlic

  • 1/3 cup roasted peanuts

  • Sliced green onions

  • Cauliflower rice

    Instructions:

    Cut your chicken thighs into cubes, removing any excess fat you’d like. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a pan on medium high heat and add 1tbs of avocado oil. Once hot, add in the chicken and cook about 10 minutes. Stirring every few min so the chicken cooks and gets color on all sides.

    While the chicken is cooking chop up your bell peppers and onions into chunks. Once the chicken is cooked add in the peppers and onions and sauté for about 5-7 more minutes.

    For the sauce, mix together 1tbs cornstarch, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1tbs honey, 2tbs balsamic vinegar, 1tbs hoisin sauce, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp ginger powder, 1tbs minced garlic, and 1tbs chili garlic sauce.

    Pour this over the cooked chicken and veggies and let simmer for a few minutes. The sauce will thicken a bit. Lastly add in 1/3 cup of roasted peanuts and mix well. Serve with some cauliflower rice and top with some green onion. Enjoy!


Taco Salad Bowls

Makes 4 servings

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • 1 packet of taco seasoning

  • 1/2 cup corn

  • 1/2 cup black beans

  • 1 large avocado

  • Salsa

  • Sour cream

  • Red onion

  • Shredded romaine lettuce

  • Shredded mexican cheese

  • Grape tomatoes

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Start by browning the ground turkey. Preheat a pan to medium high heat and add in a spray of avocado oil. Add the ground turkey and brown about 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked. Add in your taco seasoning of choice and mix well. (add water if the packet calls for it)

    The rest is so simple, add in all of your favorite taco salad toppings for your salad into your meal prep containers. (I LOVE these ones) That’s it!


Eggwich Breakfast Sandwich

Makes 8 sandwiches

WHAT you’ll need:

  • 16 eggs

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • breakfast meat of choice (I used sausage, I’ll be trying bacon next time!)

  • Cheddar cheese slices (or cheese of choice)

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

    In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, and seasoning and mix really well.

    Next line a baking pan with parchment paper and a small spray of oil then pour in your egg mixture. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes. Make sure to keep a close eye on the eggs so that it does not overcook as some ovens run hotter than others.

    While that’s baking cook your breakfast meat of choice and slice the cheese.

    Once the eggs are cooked let them cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the pan and cutting into 16 equal squares. Finally, assemble the sandwiches! Lay a piece of the egg on the bottom then add your meat and cheese and top with another egg square. Repeat until all the ingredients are gone. This will make 8 sandwiches.

    Wrap the sandwiches in foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze if you are planning to eat them any later than that. (we always eat ours before we need to freeze them) When you’re ready to eat simply reheat in the microwave and enjoy!
