prepping food for the week (8/28-9/2)

I started off this week by prepping WAY more food than I usually do. Between my toddler starting school two mornings a week, settling into a new routine, and oftentimes finding myself getting hangry at 10 a.m., it felt like a step that would go a long way in making me feel more prepared and ready to take on the day.

FOR MY TODDLER

These greek yogurt muffins are now a staple and I LOVE making them in the mini muffin pan. I recently got a silicone one and it is 1. a game changer 2. so cute and makes me smile when I use it. MY MODIFICATIONS: I added a whole shredded zucchini with the moisture squeezed out, used half of the maple syrup called for and subbed the rest of the liquid with whole milk, and added a bunch of cinnamon. In hindsight, I got a little ambitious with how much zucchini I added as it affected the moisture content of the muffins and they took much longer to bake this time around.

I attempted these pizza rolls and it was a bit of a fail due to my own errors. I made pizza dough yesterday for dinner but ended up not needing it so I made the rolls and it was…not great. They taste fine but are certainly more pizza blobs and will need some more sauce for serving. Next time I’d just buy dough and try again! My plan was to freeze most to have on hand for lunches but we may end up just having them for dinner.

FOR THE ADULTS

I have lost track of how many times I’ve made these no bake energy bites. I made a double batch and froze half.

These breakfast sandwiches to have on hand in the freezer will be so nice to grab and go. I made something similar for postpartum and was really glad I had them. Lately I’ve found myself in the starbucks drive through line for a breakfast sandwich a little too frequently so I’m hoping to help curb that.

All in all, I’m so glad to have all of this prepped and ready for us for this week (and next). It was too much to take on one for day (I know better…and yet) but future me will be very, very grateful. You can find all of my kitchen favorites linked on my amazon storefront!
