The past week was pretty interesting. Getting back into the
groove of school and work. Everything seems to be falling into place. My Fiance
and I decided to start a gym membership at Anytime fitness to help kick up
intensity a bit more. So far I am very happy with our decisions. I suggest
Anytime to anyone looking for a gym that will allow you to work out the way you
want, at anytime that you want.
Before we begin, I am pleased with the response that I have
gotten from my first post. It has motivated me to keep things going. It helps
me stay on the fitness track knowing that people are interested in my meal
preps.

The Prep
This weeks Featured recipe
Lasagna
This is a turkey lasagna that is very easy to prep
First start by putting the ground turkey breast in a skillet
and cooking it thoroughly.
You may see some grease begin to build up while its cooking.
YOU WILL WANT TO DRAIN THIS OFF WHEN MEAT IS FULLY COOKED!
While the turkey is cooking you will want to cut up your
Bell pepper and Onion.
Once you have drained the meat completely, return it back to
the pan and mix in the Bell pepper and onions. Add whatever seasonings you
would like. Because I like to limit my sodium intake, I use a small pinch of
salt and go heavy on the Mrs. Dash
haha.
At this point, feel free to add the sauce and 1 can of
mushrooms and let the meat sauce simmer while your lasagna noodles cook.
Once the lasagna noodles are cooked you can begin to layer
ingredients in pan. The order I use is, Noodles, Meat sauce, cottage cheese,
noodles and repeat for as many layers as you want, and then you can add cheese
to the very top layer.. DON’T GO TOO CRAZY THOUGH
Divide this lasagna into 4 equal parts and store in prep containers. This lasagna can also be frozen and will still taste perfect! Feel free to add anything to these recipes. I wanted to add some spinach but I forgot. If I were to add spinach I would have added it raw during the layering process.
Other than the lasagna we made this week we continued to do our usual lean prep and used our usual portions.
3oz lean protein
1cup carbs
1/2 cup veggies (Next week we are upping this to 1 cup)
Sweet potatoes and Red potatoes
These are cooked the same way.. Toss in grapeseed oil and bake in oven at 350 for 45 min
The red potatoes should be seasoned with salt and pepper and Mrs. Dash for flavor.
The sweet potatoes don't need seasoning, maybe just add a little spray butter.
This weeks Leftovers (This will be used first next week *we don't waste food or money*)
2 cups of red potatoes
6 cups of black bean peas and corn mixture (see last weeks post for recipe)
This is what the end result will look like!
Check back in a couple days for a new breakfast prep.. We will be doing overnight oats for those who are busy in the morning and need to get going fast and have a fit breakfast!
This is what the end result will look like. If you have any leftovers they can be frozen until you use them next time, just make sure you don't refreeze them. USE THEM FIRST IN THE NEXT PREP WEEK.
