Shift My Booty

Good Morning all!

I was hoping to post this last night, but it got late and spent most of my evening preparing my meals for the week!

I've managed to do 4 days worth of meals, well lunch and tea! as I usually have weetabix for breakfast... 

These are all the ingredients I used for my food prep, it's not an awful lot but they all make up different meals!

Frozen Kale, Chicken Breast Fillet, Medium Fat Philadelphia, Smoked Salmon Slices, Bacon, Frozen Avocado, Wholegrain Noodles, Wholegrain Brown Pasta, Lemon Juice, Pepper.

Not included in the photo is Semi Skimmed Milk, Chinese Five Spice and Reduced Salt soy sauce.

 

Before you start cooking, make sure you have plenty of storage for your meals, nothing worse than going and creating nearly a weeks worth of food and not enough to store it in!

 

So, onto the food...

I started off making off Smoked Salmon pasta which is actually one of my favourite meals!

Coffee Machine isn't included haha! but you basically boil the pasta, and then in a seperate pan, you create a sauce with Philadelphia cream cheese as the base, add a little bit of milk in (the more you put in, the runnier the sauce will be, but you don't need a lot!), a splash of lemon juice and a little bit of pepper then rip up the slices of smoked salmon and add in, you cook it with the sauce.
As soon as you put the pan on the heat, keep stirring until its at a runny consistency.
Once you've drained your pasta, add the sauce and the pasta together and hey presto! you're sorted!

Next I needed to cook the chicken as it was going in more than one of my meals, I had a rather large chicken breat fillet, so chopped it up into numerous pieces and then fried off in rapeseed oil (rapeseed oil is apparently better for you!) 

I then used the chicken in some wholemeal noodles with Kale, chinese five spice and reduced salt soy sauce to make some noodle dishes, which by the way taste great!

My final other dish is another favourite of chicken, bacon and avocado salad, it's a mixed leaves salad with little bits of chicken breast, chopped bits of fried off bacon and mashed avocado, no dressing needed as the avocado provides it all!

Here's the finished products:

I'm really looking forward to my meals this week now and it's so much easier for work that I can just pop in my bag for work, also I can freeze them to perserve them if necessary!

All together (including cleaning!) It took me about 2 hours, but its probably saved me a lot of time for the following week! so whether you're dieting or not, it might be worth preparing your food just to make it a lot easier for you!

Yes, that is a Bertolli Butter tub, but they're decent portion sized haha!
I'm hoping to do more of these posts in the future so I'll keep you updated with anymore other interesting meals I may prep in the future for you all!

So until next time!
