Your Plan Ahead Meal Solution

Published on by Domestic ChickLeave a comment

Planning Ahead Makes Lunch Easier & Healthier too!

Regardless if it’s your lunch, your spouse’s or the kids’… having a well planned out lunch system makes life so much happier! I came across these little treasures preparing for the meals ahead and can’t help but share them. Literally any food that is on the Beachbody Nutrition plans will go inside! A wrap fits nicely in the top compartment, but as you can see in the photo, salad works great too. PLUS, the little circle in the middle holds just the right amount of salad dressing (my personal preference is balsamic vinegar & a touch of olive oil) 🤩… and you can wait until & add it when you’re ready to eat, so your salad doesn’t get soggy!

Having handy containers is the first step to planning ahead for a healthy meal and avoiding the emergency drive-thru mentality! None of us can afford that 99 cent heart attack, y’all! Using either one of Beachbody’s Nutrition programs: The Ultimate Portion Fix or 2B Mindset, along with having purposeful containers will keep you following the plan and your nutrition on point, which is vital to achieving your overall wellness goals! Remember no workout plan can make up for a bad diet!

Sistema is what I have & here’s why I like it!

  • They stay closed tightly with clips on each side!
  • They are dishwasher safe!
  • They have a variety of containers: soup, sandwich, breakfast…etc!
  • They come in fun colors!
  • They are great for anyone wanting to control portion sizes!
  • Some items come with utensils that clip right inside!
  • So easy to grab-n-go!

Revolutionize your meal prep process!

EASY Oven Veggies: Even the kids ask for them!

Published on by Domestic ChickLeave a comment
PREP: 15 min. COOK: 30-40 min. TEMP: 375 degrees F

🎉BONUS: These can marinate in the fridge a day or two if it helps your schedule! 😉

Here’s what you need:

– a few of your favorite fresh veggies 
( purple cabbage, carrots, onion, brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower…)
– extra virgin olive oil
– choice of seasonings
– plastic gallon storage bag
– shallow baking sheet (I use a jelly roll pan)
– foil

Directions:  

  • Cover a shallow baking sheet with foil, preheat the oven to 375.
  • Select your veggies & chop into bite-sized pieces. For example: cut brussel sprouts in 1/2, small onion into about 8 chunks, and use baby carrots just the way they are!
  • Throw it all into a gallon storage bag about 1/2 to 3/4ths full (depending on how many you are serving).
  • In a measuring cup pour in 1/4 to 1/3 cup of olive oil (depending on how full you fill the bag.) 
  • Add approximately 2 Tablespoons seasonings into the oil & stir. (I often go with: Montreal Steak, garlic powder, pepper, salt … it’s hard to go wrong!) Pour this oil/ seasoning mixture into bag over the veggies.
  • Seal the bag & turn it over & over to completely coat the veggies inside.
  • Pour the mixture onto the foil-covered baking sheet and slide into the oven! 
  • Check on them & stir a time or two while they’re cooking.
  • Cook until they are tender, with slightly crispy, caramelized edges… generally 30-40 minutes.


—> Our favorite veggies cooked this way are the brussel sprouts!!  Hard to believe, but try ’em and see for yourself… please comment & share what your favorites are.  👍😋
