Healthy & Delicious Meals From My Pantry #3

 

In February I cleared out the stash of freezer meals I had in there so I was in need of a good meal prep session to get some more meals made up and tucked back in the freezer.  I have been super busy the last two months and having something made up and ready to pop into the microwave when I get home is super handy.  Now that I am riding the bus to and from work again it is a lifesaver having those meals ready for me when I get home hungry and tired.

 

Salisbury Steak dinners

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Chicken Lo Mein

I pulled out some meat and vegetables from the deep freezer, as well as some canned goods form the pantry, and was able to make up a lot of create some delicious components for making meals.  Taco meat to make tacos or taco salad with, a small batch of spaghetti and a really good teriyaki chicken stir fry with jasmine rice was first up.

 

Home canned chili (I added a sliced hotdog) 😋

Taco meat with black beans

Eggs & sausage for hash or breakfast burritos

To go with a salmon fillet and a NY strip steak I put together a cauliflower bake using sour cream, cheddar cheese and green onions.  Delicious!

 

Low carb cauliflower bake

My homemade dill sauce

I made some condiments – salad dressing, dill sauce for fish and a salsa and sour cream sauce to go on taco salads.  I also pulled out some home canned chili, soups and meat options.  Using a can of chicken breast I made a scrumptious curry chicken salad for sandwiches.

In one meal prep session lasting about four hours I was able to add quite a few good options to the freezer as well as a nice line up for the week ahead.  I made a meal plan that me set up and kept me well fed for the month without much effort.  In the process I was able to use things I already had on hand, which works really well to save me a lot of time as well as money on my overall grocery bill.  I had fun with doing my little meal prep and have enjoyed every bite!
