prep

video. I loved meal

prep

ping, but I was very, very strict about preparing my meals. I used to think about whether I was going to prepare the meals I needed, like rice and chicken. and the vegetables that were my lunch I made again for dinner and I couldn't make these videos unless I ate meals like that, but listen, that's simple and boring and there's a time and a place for rice and chicken, but now That's not what we do.

What we're doing today is okay, that's not what we're going to do today, preparing

food

doesn't have to be simple and jane, it can be glamorous, it can be beautiful, it can be simple and easy and

quick

, and that's what They will be the meals that I will show. Your preparation today is key, especially if you are trying to live a

healthy

lifestyle. I have found that if I don't have easy access to

healthy

food

s on a busy day, which is almost every day, I will reach for snacks and grab snacks. all day instead of eating nutritious meals, okay, I don't want to tell you how many bags of chicken popsicles I've eaten recently, but it's a lot and if I had a jar of salad in the refrigerator, I would have eaten it instead, so I know you're thinking when you're not a salad tabby owl on that, I say you're not wrong, but listen a jar of salad.

I'm a jar of salad kind of girl, one of the meals I'll be making this week. It's a jar of salad, sometimes a jar of salad is more of a snack for me, it could be a meal for you, it can be whatever you want, that's okay, that's the beautiful thing about living a healthy lifestyle. You have to figure out what works best for you and stick with it. Making stylish jars, I will place them in the cutest glass jars. The amazing thing about salad jars is that you can customize them to be whatever you want, if you like onions, bell peppers or cucumbers you can add them and change your dressing every week.

Change the ingredients you put in each week and you can do it yourself and customize it to your liking. Listen, I like to feel weird about this because I love chili and a couple years ago I made turkey chili in a crock pot. and I think they took down the video and I still get texts if people ask me about that chili, so I'm not going to make that chili, but I'm going to make another chili today and it's so good and what I love about it is it's so good, reheated. , okay, for the fourth day of preparing a meal with chicken and rice, no, um, I don't like it, it tends to taste very good, if you are a picky eater, I will guide you through some very simple terrain. turkey and black bean chili I make it on the stove super limited ingredients you know me you know me and my limited ingredients I like limited I'm not a chef okay so when it comes to prepping the first thing I do is multitask Lo What I'm going to do is take my Instant Pot and cook my chicken, so I'm going to add chicken to the salad.

Of course, you can skip this step if you don't want chicken, make sure you have your little one, your spree comes with this pop. make sure you put it in there, don't feel pressure if you don't have an instant pot, don't go buy this puff pastry, you don't want it instead, you can cook the chicken in the oven on the stove, whatever heck you like to cook your chicken. I'm going to have some strong chicken breasts. I have two here and I'll cook them in the Instant Pot. I know some of you are very um, you don't want to see raw meat. so I'll save you from the close-ups of raw meat.

Okay, I'll season my chicken with a little Himalayan pink salt. I'm going to put this in the instant pot. I'm going to have a cup of chicken broth. This week I'm only going to make three to four jars of salad, so I'm going to take half the recipe standing because it makes a lot, so if you plan on eating a jar of salad every day, make the full recipe or you can. Have it like you're starting with a little olive oil and honey. I'm going to go ahead and add a little bit of lemon zest. I'm looking at the lemon zest.

I'll be honest with you, now that we have lemon juice, five tablespoons of lemon juice. wine vinegar we need half a teaspoon of salt a little bit of Dijon mustard and last but not least 10 tablespoons of chopped cilantro you are going to want to blend all the ingredients of your dressing, I have learned this the hard way instead of measuring with these which are lovely, don't get me wrong, I'll measure everything for a recipe now and just convert it, listen, I can pour this right in here instead of trying to do one of these efficiencies, my dressing is ready so I'm going to add them to From the bottom of the glass jars, I find that it's always a little easier when you're prepping food to have a full prep station, so here's my full prep station, so now when I put the jars together or get ready to cook the chili, everything is ready, it takes less time remember you can customize the salads however you want, it's okay if you like bell peppers and strips instead of chunks, if you like chopped red onion instead of chopped for my salad, I'm going to add red onions I have red peppers to make them a little crunchy I took soft tomatoes and I cut them up and then my favorite so there's a lot of it some cucumber yeah yeah that's good listen I'm sure everyone and their Mother you already know this trick. but once the chicken is cooked in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes, it is very easy to shred and I use a hand mixer to shred it.

Are you kidding me with this? It's juicy, it's crumbly, it's finely crumbled, okay, crumbled with a little bit. without any effort I can add now that we have the chicken and dressing prepared. Now it's about just building the salad, the salad jar, so let's get to that now. I'm just observing everything, but feel free to measure everything if you want. Tracking macros right now is all about layering a salad jar that will keep it fresher longer and the key is making sure the dressing is at the bottom. Now I'm going to go in with my cherry tomatoes.

I'm going to go ahead and add a layer of red pepper followed by red onion. I like mine in a little thicker pieces because I love red onion. I feel like I could eat a whole red onion, which is a little Geronic, but I love red onion. With cucumber, I'm going to add some blueberry bites. I'm going to measure this one out, so 1 4 cup dried cranberries. I'm going to go ahead and add some sliced ​​almonds, it adds that perfect crunch, it's good between all three salads. I stuck almost all of the lettuce in there, so there are a lot more greens than you think.

Okay, if you're watching this, you're wondering: Where's the lettuce? Where is the lettuce? It's there, just compacted, my pride and joy, here's our salad jar. I just can't tell myself that that's not

delicious

. Now that the salad jars are ready, I'm going to put them in the refrigerator and then we'll move on to the chili. The chili won't take long, the part that takes the longest. I'm letting it cook, but since I already have the ingredients prepared, it will be very easy for the chili. I have my white onion chopped with the jalapeno. Save some of the jalapeno to coat the chili.

Now I'm going to take that bite. jalapeno and a yellow onion, place this here, season it with a little salt and pepper. I'm a comeback baby, b word, a comeback baby, b word when it comes to spices and the jalapeno here is the perfect little fire, hot fire flames, this recipe. requires ground pork. I'll use ground turkey instead. You can't use meat either, whatever your heart desires. I'm going to cook this onion and jalapeño for about five to seven minutes. Here's a huge piece of onion that I didn't cut at all. makes mistakes that we all make those days once I add the ground turkey, I'm going to add a tablespoon of this spicy Southwestern Latin seasoning and a tablespoon of this Mexican seasoning.

I'm so embarrassed that I love chili and I'm like, are you? The guys are even going to like this recipe, you know what I mean, but I physically and emotionally love chili, that didn't really make sense, but I love chili and it's like winter, still okay, cold vibes, oh , it's a cold day, let me eat my chili, it's so good. I've said it a million times, but if you're new here, the hardest part of living a healthy lifestyle is eating, for me, you know, I'd rather be able to wake up, eat, sleep and breathe, fast food, not for the heat Latin, okay?

Anyway, my point is that it's all about finding those foods that you enjoy, so although I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how much I love chili, I show you a chili recipe in this meal prep video that I brings. so much joy so much joy I can't even express it it's one of those foods that if it's in the refrigerator and it's prepared and ready to go, all I have to do is reheat it, I'm a hundred times more likely to grab it from my refrigerator and then I order at my doorstep to Chick-fil-a. Eat an entire bag of popcorn in one sitting because I have no control, so find some recipes that you like, that you enjoy, and that will help you make your life a healthy lifestyle. a little bit easier maybe I just cut my hair look how cute it is you're so handsome and I love you so much and I could eat you for dinner I could throw you here eat you have some chicken nugget I would never do it but I have I haven't I thought, the turkey is practically fully cooked, so I'm going to go ahead and add three tablespoons of tomato paste.

Where I have been? Where I have been? Where has this been all my life? I never finish one. mini can of tomato paste now they have it with a lid tell me where I've been good to finish this recipe I'm just going to take a can of diced tomatoes I like the fire roasted type and a can of black tomato beans, plus they are liquid, put them here with 1 4 cup of water. I've added corn to this recipe before and I love it, so definitely feel free to customize it, add ingredients and remove the ingredients after the rest of the ingredients are in i.

I'll add a little bit of salt and pepper and then I'll let it simmer for eight to ten minutes and it'll be ready. Great dinner, great lunch option, so

delicious
