Meal Prep Monday!

I had a busy weekend with work and the gym, so I used some time today to grocery shop and prep a few things for our week.

I made another batch of Turkey Chili and Edamame Salad:

The chili is still simmering, but I packed up the edamame in a few different containers to have them ready:

The smaller one I plan to take to school tomorrow as a break time snack :) The rest I'll eat throughout the week! 

Other items for my weekly snacking were Babybel Light cheese by Laughing cow:

I love these, mostly because I LOVE cheese! But, these are awesome because they are individually wrapped in wax, which is perfect for on the go snacking!

What have you be prepping lately?!

More New Twists on Old Faves!

Once I find a recipe/meal that I really like I tend to make it a lot! Especially if it is simple and fiancé approved! 

The more I make them, the more I tend to tweak and modify ingredients just to play around.

This week I modified my super yummy turkey chili:

Today, I added great beans to the mix! I have always been a fan of green beans and couldn't believe I hadn't added them to this dish yet! 

Look at all those yummy veggie colors! 

The chili came out great too:

The other dish I changed up was my zucchini "pasta" that I made on Tuesday:

This week, instead of ground turkey I used Italian style chicken meat balls from Trader Joe's, and a spicy tomato pesto sauce (it was all I had in the pantry!) and it came out great! 

I love getting lots of veggies in whatever meals possible and as many as possible!

The other great thing about these dishes is that they can be made in large amounts and eaten throughout the week! Any of these types of meals I try to cook extra of so that the next few days are a breeze :) The turkey chili can even be frozen to last longer!

How do you get your veggies in?!
