So tired of eggs

[MilitaryWorkingMomm]

So, to explain why I seem to have little time.

Husband deployed.  I have a toddler, and 4 month old.  And I work from home.

Eggs seem to be my go to.  They are quick, and easy to add things too.

The problem is.  I am sooooo over eggs now! 


What are your super quick meal go to's?   This weekend I plan on meal prepping and planning.  But am looking for inspiration in case I forget to pull out the prepped freezer meal.

SALMON CAKES!!!! I looove salmon cakes especially cold. Mel Joulwan has an easy recipe and I'll double it for the week for breakfast or for extras if I needed another meal. 

Also leftovers are my go to. Nothing leftover is safe

I love those salmon cakes!

Mel's chicken thighs are great, too. You can grill or bake them:

Tom has a twist on them, and you can swap in pretty much any veggies you want:

Mel Joulwan's Well Fed cookbook is particularly helpful with a Whole30 in saving you time. Do her Weekly Cookup on Sun eve, and you will have enough food for most of the week in just ONE HOUR.

I like to make this recipe, and freeze individual servings. It still has eggs, of course, but it's not boring! I'm a big fan of frozen breakfasts (or leftovers) since there is no way I'd have the motivation to cook on weekday mornings.

Sausage stuffed squash.  Make it for dinner one night and the next morning microwave for a few minutes!  Delishious!  Easy (as in premade- takes about an hour to make the first time but I made 4 meals out of it)

 

Here is the recepie

I love making hash for breakfast.  I buy beef cross shanks from a local rancher for this but any slow cooker meat will work well (brisket, roasts, etc - something fatty with connective tissue).  I make a 4-5 lb batch (bone in) at a time: beef, 1 onion, 1-2 carrots, 1-2 pieces of celery, splash of apple cider vinegar, few bay leaves).  When the meat is done I stick it in a storage container and use it throughout the week.  And you've got beef broth if you want it!  Our dogs get ours because I'm out of room in the freezer - but what a waste - its so gelatinous and healthy   

The hash is simply a fried diced potato with a handful of the beef leftovers.  Fry it up till everything is nice and crispy!  Yum

littleg - this sounds great for humans but onion is highly toxic to dogs so please be careful!

I've been preparing fritattas for the week and not sick of it yet. I'm adding ground beef, carmelized onions, spinach, or kale, tomatoes, bell peppers etc. Literally you can add any whole30 vegetables to these eggs.  That with diced sweet potatoes - so good.
