Coming off an indulgent week? Ready to get back on track but needing to ease in? . This is one of the Easiest and Most Versatile meal preps I have done in a while! The possibilities are endless and it's totally customizable to your likes/dislikes and dietary restrictions! You can keep it all vegetarian, add in a quick Pressure Cooker Pot of Quinoa to amp up the protein game! Or Add in some fish, or Chicken while you already have that grill HOT, like we did! . ☀️Instead of my normal meal prep, we gathered a Summer Bounty of veggies and roughly chopped them, tossed with olive oil and hung out by the grill, tossing the ball with the kids and playing in the yard, while we grilled them all up! . 🍆 Nothing fancy, just some olive oil, letting those Summer Veggies be the stars! . 🔥Only about 10 minutes time, washing/chopping/marinade mixing and the rest was family time outside! It was awesome, easy and at the ready for yummy combos! . -Eggplant Pizzas -Eggplant Fajitas -Veggie Platter w/ Chicken -Veggie Platter w/ Steak -Veggie Quesadillas -They make a great addition to salads -Not pictured -> Grilled Veggies over Pressure Cooker Quinoa & Zucchini Roll-Ups with Goat Cheese & Marinara
👆🏼Tip for Tuesday! . My littles Thrive when given independence, but it seems there's a fine line between enough and too much! 🤔 . They are learning to make their own breakfast and lunch, at least in part! 😉 They love to spread on their own toppings and I give them multiple options for most things! But when it comes to 🔪 I'm just not quite there! . And....since I nearly cut my fingertip off yesterday, with all the knife experience I have, I'm not ready to hand them a knife! 😬 . But, these flat little mini cake spatulas help them to learn how to handle a knife for spreading without the dangers of a blade! 😜 . #independence#knivesintraining#startemyoung

Enjoy on lettuce wraps, apple slices or cucumber boats! . ⚡️Time investment 5 minutes . 3 cans tuna rinsed & drained 2 tbsp avocado Mayo 2 tbsp Get Me A Switch Spicy Relish (you can always add more) . . Ya'll I'm OBSESSED with this Spicy Relish! It is AHHHHmazing! Like good on or in everything! And the best part is that it has no sodium and virtually no sugars! It only has 8 ingredients and technically 2 are peppers and 1 is water, so really 6, right?! 😜 And...it's reduced with ACV, y'all know how I feel about the Mother! .

🥘Meal Prep Tips + ThePressure Cooker🥘 . With 4 kids and a Busy schedule I couldn't live without my Superfoods shakes, but I also do about an hour of down and dirty meal prep on Sundays to make sure we stay on track! . ‼️Meal prep doesn't have to be an all day affair; I find that I am most successful when it is an accumulation of very simple items prepared simultaneously ! My go-tos are simply roasted veggies, easily grilled proteins (while the kids enjoy fresh air), and letting my slow cooker &pressure cooker do the work! . 🍲The Pressure Cooker The one I use is the Instant Pot DUO60 model, which is about $99 on Amazon. . ⁉️Why? 👉It can Sauté, Slow Cook, Steam and Pressure Cook, Yogurt Function 👉6qt. SS liner, cleans easily and is dishwasher safe ⚡the speed, convenience, energy & nutrient savings . It can speed cook so well, that I am able to do back to back recipes in a snap. Sunday I turned out 18 hardboiled eggs and a whole pot of Pineapple Black Bean Quinoa Salad (which is my current obsession) all in under 30 minutes! . 🍖One key to tender meats and sides is making sure you have enough liquid! It takes liquid to steam, so make sure you have ample liquids in there no matter what you are cooking! About 1/2 cup of water is all you need to hard boil eggs because of the short cook time. I usually use about double that for a pot of ribs, which has a 23 minute cook time! . Preheat time 👉 For some dishes, the preheat to steam time is short, but the meatier the dish, or the colder the ingredients, the longer the heat time is! . 👉A SS steamer basket is helpful in keeping your meats, etc. from sitting in the liquid so they are steamed and not boiled! You can get one like mine for about $5. 👉 Reheating is MAGIC - because it works with steam, it puts the moisture back into your meals instead of robbing it as you reheat! You can even reheat baked fish in just a couple minutes of pressure cook time without drying it out at all! 👉in a pinch you can go from frozen to "order up" in a short period of time! It's fantastic for reheating a frozen meat sauce or meatballs, anything in a sauce or precooked! But keep in mind, anything like raw frozen chicken breasts, aren't going to end up quite as succulent as they will if you allow them to thaw! 👉 Uses less water, reduces cook times, does not create any chemicals that can result from other cooking methods and can help to retain more vitamins in our foods! 👉Pressure Cooking can assist in making grains and legumes more easily digested due to the fact that it reduces phytic acid and lectins! . Happy Prepping! #14day#kitchentips#mealprep#hacks#pressurecooker
