What to make this weekend to get ready for the week
- As always, clean your veggies
- Hard boil eggs for sandwiches on Wednesday
- Brew up espresso because work coffee sucks
- Make some homemade lasagna and freeze half in small disposable trays
- I’ll also be making hot sauce with some cherry bomb peppers and dried habaneros
Monday, September 23rd
The Small Victories’ Lasagna is so, so delicious. The lasagna is pretty simple – just noodles, an easy tomato sauce, some cheese and basil – but you make the pasta by hand, so the noodles get all curly and uneven and it’s just amazing.
- Breakfast: Overnight Oats w/ Blueberries & Cashew Butter
- Lunch: Small Victories‘ Lasagna (made over the weekend)
- Dinner: Seared Tuna w/ Cooks Illustrated’s Mediterranean Chopped Salad
Tuesday, September 24th
Tuesday’s meal will be pretty simple – using leftovers from Monday’s dinner for Tuesday’s lunch, and then roasting some sweet potatoes and thawing some veggie burgers for a quick dinner.

- Dinner: Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Browned Butter, and Cooks Illustrated’s Veggie Burgers
