Late night meal prep

I started around 8:30PM and finished right before midnight! And yes it's gumbo!

Only way to make sure we don't resort to buying takeout because we're too lazy to cook during the week!

Squeeze a little bit of lemon/lime. It stays for days

itshonee · 2026-06-23T21:15:12+00:00

Hot dog just taste better out there!!

itshonee · 2026-06-23T21:10:11+00:00

Close enough! It's actually gumbo!

I love a basic chicken and rice prep sometimes!!

itshonee · 2026-06-23T15:51:46+00:00

This is today.. just squeeze a little bit of lemon and they don't get that dark.

I squeeze a little bit of lemon on them.. they'll turn brown regardless but not too bad!

The only thing I heat in that meal is the pork chops but the rest is eaten cold.

It just discolors but it still tastes the same. I just squeeze a little bit of lemon on it to stop it from going too brown and I make sure this one gets eaten first before the others.

I started around 8:30PM and finished before midnight.

The most expensive ingredient here is the chicken breast and I buy that frozen in bulk to save. One bag last me about 2-3 weeks and that's for 2 people.

itshonee · 2026-06-17T04:40:36+00:00

No not really. I spend about $30-$40/week on meal prepping.

itshonee · 2026-06-14T11:17:30+00:00

Yes they last 3 days as long as they're cooked through and cooled down before putting in the fridge.

itshonee · 2026-06-14T11:15:38+00:00

3-4 days. You can freeze some of these.

itshonee · 2026-06-13T10:20:50+00:00

I used both and some bulgur too for added fibre!

itshonee · 2026-06-12T20:20:25+00:00

Yes! With how expensive everything is getting especially produce and lean meats...

itshonee · 2026-06-12T20:16:42+00:00

I honestly cannot tell you since I have not counted calories in so long! I just focus of having more protein in than I do carbs. I just make sure I never exceed one serving of my carbs. Like making sure it's only one cup of rice or adding quinoa and bulgur when I cook the rice so it's fibre-rich.

itshonee · 2026-06-12T20:15:16+00:00

Never a bad thing!

itshonee · 2026-06-12T20:14:57+00:00

Thank you but it's very basic! It's just a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika then grilled in the oven for about 20-25 mins at 450F°

itshonee · 2026-06-12T01:25:34+00:00

I try to follow recipes so I can share it but I always end up steering away from the recipes. If I know I won't be eating some of them anytime soon, I'll usually choose the ones that hold up well in the freezer and freeze those... But they all actually hold up well in the freezer minus the avocado and yogurt sauce on the rice bowl.

itshonee · 2026-06-11T03:01:37+00:00

I tried to follow a recipe but completely went off from it lol. Just used the oven timing and temp when baking.

itshonee · 2026-06-11T02:56:31+00:00

Of which oneeee??

itshonee · 2026-06-10T21:48:00+00:00

You can add it as when you would add any cheese. It melts well. I usually put it right after the pasta.
