Intro / Meal Prep
It’s been a while since we did a meal prep schedule – Summer is here and time gets away from us all. Zak and I have been back in the city last week and next week, so we have the weekend to chill and get excited about cooking.
We just got a big Whole Foods order delivered, stocking up on Olive Oil, Parmesan, Chickpeas, White Beans, Coconut Water… all the good stuff. So going to spend most of Sunday meal prepping all this:
- Prep Chia Pudding w/ Dried Apricots & Pineapple for breakfasts
- Make Pesto (fire escape garden getting out of control)
- Bake some Chicken Breasts for grain bowls
- Pickle Daikon for grain bowls
- Make Farro for grain bowls
- Make Tumeric Tahini Dressing for grain bowls

Wanted to switch up breakfasts from Overnight Oats and Yogurt & Granola to Chia Pudding. Feels a little more summery. Also so excited for this Donabe – we had some leftover Kombu & Bonito Flakes and this recipe looks awesome.
- Breakfast: Chia Pudding w/ Dried Apricots & Pineapple
- Lunch: Grain Bowls w/ Chicken & Tumeric Tahini Dressing
- Dinner: Sesame Arctic Char Donabe (substitute salmon)
Tuesday, July 16th
We made some Minestrone back in the Spring, so just taking it out of the freezer to have a quick and easy lunch. I’m also a green bean fiend – and this recipe makes my mouth water.
- Breakfast: Smoothie
- Lunch: Spring Minestrone w/ Sourdough & Butter
- Dinner: Dining In‘s Oil Roasted Sardines w/ Green Beans and Cucumbers w/ Miso Dressing

Everyone know we love a grain bowl – but even we get sick of them sometimes. So I really tried this week to find some different versions – Wednesday’s has beets, goat cheese & ginger which feels different enough to still look forward to.

- Lunch: Grain Bowls w/ Beets, Goat Cheese, Ginger
- Dinner: Leftover Sesame Arctic Char Donabe (substitute soft-boiled eggs)
