Make it Tasty: Weekly Food Prep

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE food!! Did I mention I LOVE food? Because I do! I have been doing alot of experimenting with my weekly food prep. I am trying to incorporate flavor without adding all of the extra calories. Now I will be honest, some of my creations have been pretty nasty....lol...BUT some of them turned out pretty good! Below are the ones that turned out good! lol...


So eating healthy is REALLY expensive. Thus, I do my best to try to purchase produce and veggies when they are on sale or from the 99 Cent Store. (YES they DO have good veggies and produce! It's worth checking out if you are on a budget but want to still eat healthy) So this week I picked up some broccoli, brussel sprouts, chives, and boneless/skinless chicken breast.



I started off by marinating the chicken breast with two tablespoons of olive oil. I then chopped up chives, and onions and seasoned the chicken well. I set the oven for 350 degrees and baked the chicken for approxamitely 30 minutes.


I then washed and chopped up the broccoli as well as the brussel sprouts.


I added a tablespoon of olive oil to my pan and sauteed the chives prior to adding my cut up brussel sprouts. I then seasoned it with garlic seasoning and some good old Lawry's and cooked until it was tender. By the time all of my veggies were done my chicken was also complete.


Once everything cooled down I separated my food into my tuperware for the week! It made so much that I had enough for 5 meals! Everything total only cost me $7.00. Who said eating healthy can't be affordable!? And YES, everything turned out great! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the brussel sprouts and broccoli both had a great flavor. I will definitely be making something like this again for m weekly food prep! 


What are cool meals you have adapted to keep your food prep interesting for the week???
