Surprise Day Off

I had a rare two days off this week and it was glorious.  Wednesday was the 4th and we spent it with family trying not to drown in a pool of sweat and eating all the grilled things.  Thursday I got a surprise day off and I was able to get a lot of behind the scenes work done.

Twas a good two days.

Tahini & Banana Cream Breakfast Bars

Ever since I made these oatmeal bars back in January, they have been a part of my weekly meal prep for Adam.  It’s just much simpler to make a batch of these bars once a week than to sit there and make a bowl of oatmeal each morning.  This way, Adam can get his breakfast together fast and get out the door even faster.

Now, while I’ve made oatmeal bars every week, I haven’t made them the exact same way each time.  Because I like to experiment and because sometimes I’m not so good at checking what ingredients I have BEFORE making something and have to improvise.

This recipe is an improvised version of the original. Tahini & Banana Cream Breakfast Bars | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Smoky Paprika Chicken

Cooking up chicken breast during my meal prep has become a weekly thing ever since I created that Simple Mustard Chicken a few weeks ago.  It’s just so easy and then I can cut up some for my lunches and eat the rest for dinners throughout the week.

Killing multiple birds with one stone is kind of my jam.  When it comes to food, not killing actual birds because that’s a little mean.  And who goes out and kills a bird with a stone nowadays? Smoky Paprika Chicken | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Make Ahead Meals

Happy Monday!  I’m all sorts of in a good mood thanks to the beautiful weather we’ve been enjoying lately.  Spring has sprung round these parts and it’s here in full force.  Trees are budding, grass is green, flowers are blooming, and bugs are back.

Hey, not everything about spring can be sunshine and rainbows.
