One of my 2021 goals is to cook through the entire Skinnytaste Meal Prep cookbook. I chose that one for a few reasons. 1) I needed to get back into eating healthier. 2) I hope at some point to go back into the office, and get back into a real routine, and meal prepping is essential for that. 3) I love to cook and just wanted some new ideas to try- and none of these are that time consuming or crazy to make.
I’ve enjoyed trying some new recipes and flavor profiles. Some of my favorite recipes in the first 15 or so that I cooked were:
The Italian sausage ricotta frittata. I make egg casseroles a lot, but this was my first frittata where I cooked it in a skillet and turned it out. Very good!
The California roll bowl was SO good. I riffed on it, using shrimp instead of crab and romaine instead of cabbage…but it was a DELISH grain bowl and the dressing was so light and flavorful. It was also fun to finally have a use for the furikake seasoning I bought at Trader Joe’s.
These tostadas were SO tasty. I didn’t use precooked chicken, instead, we had brisket and shrimp leftovers, so I used that. But I loved the simple slaw and the combo of the beans and slaw and taco flavors. Would make again (but would probably just have in a taco shell because they were messy on a tostada!)
I’m excited to keep cooking through this book. There are like 130 recipes to try, so I’ve got a ways to go!
