AleMy weekly ingredient prep system: - Carb first: Usually potatoes, rice, or both because they take the longest. This is when I start my mental timer & get everything else going. Potatoes: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, baked at 400° for ~45 min. - Protein: my usuals include ground meat, baked chicken thighs, or wild salmon. I'll usually reuse the same seasoning bowl as the potatoes because fewer dishes :) - Always a veggie situation: Sometimes just washed raw veggies, sometimes a quick salad. This week was carrot + cucumber with EVOO, rice wine vinegar, coconut aminos + simple steamed cauliflower. - Beans: Rinsed + drained mixed canned beans to add big spoonfuls to meals for extra fiber, minerals, & detox support. Nature's "clear skin supplement"!!! - Breakfast: A no-cook high-protein option like chia pudding, overnight oats, or overnight buckwheat (what I made this week). I usually make 2–3 servings. - Usually I'll also make a sweet treat: Because the sweet tooth is inevitable & I’d rather have something better-for-you ready!! I repeat some version of this about 2x/week so I always have fresh ingredients + easy meal building blocks around. Truly life-changing, saves me from grazing food that makes me feel like trash, & makes nourishing meals feel accessible 👩🍳🍠🍗💗 #ingredientprep #easycooking #mealprep
