Happy Meal Prep

Want to save money? Eat a little cleaner? Try out a new recipe!

The answer is always MEAL PREP! The week is busy enough with work, school, fiance, friends… Netflix.

Here is this week’s meals and inspirations!

What’s on the menu?

#Vegan Pesto Sauce: Israeli’s love their sauce so I love having some on hand to add to protein.

1/2 cup pine nuts

1 cup basil leaves

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

3 cloves garlic

Juice of 1 lemon

4 tbsp olive oil

salt + pepper

Broccoli Spicy Soup: a take on this recipe from the Clean Program (I skip or go light on the coconut milk and add other root veggies like fennel or leek to this soup!)

Banza Pumpkin Mac and Cheese: this chick pea pasta needs to get to Israel ASAP! I bring this protein packed #glutenfree Pasta from the USA. Reboot with Joe recipe sooo easy, fast, and fun! I swapped out the kale and added peas. And almond milk instead of coconut milk (a great alternative).

Last but not least Chicken Masala! I always cook my chicken first and then season/mix with sauce for a new recipe. I like to make sure the meat is all cooked through. Pinch of Yum explains it so well. I skipped the heavy cream and yogurt and just add a little bit of coconut milk. This is sure to make your house aromatic.

And now the sweets!

Baking is my ZEN. The smell, the batter, the licking. I’m into it every week (sometimes every day!).

Whipped up another easy batch of homemade Granola Bars with Rustys Nuts (will share that recipe soon!)

Tried my first patch of Baked Banana Donuts WOW! Super fun and easy. Bought my silicone baking dishes off Amazon. I made them #dairyfree and #glutenfree (cause I’m EXTRA). I used coconut oil and dairy free yogurt instead. Overall great recipe. Baking note* Don’t oil your silicone dish… make my donuts take a WHILE to bake since the oils made them gooey.

“Baking makes my heart happiest. Truly it’s an honor to share my happy goodies every week. I know it may be tempting to indulge ... but you have friends, family, office mates, students, and meetings that could use a sweet! So enjoy baking and share the LOVE! <3”
