I need to do more meal-prepping. I've been thinking of burritos or pasta.
There's a delicious (and easy!) veggie pasta salad i did once that's on my list.

What have you been doing lately?
Or just share your favorites!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions! So many of these are getting added to my notes!

I'll make some meat, preferably chicken or steak. Then to stretch it out, I'll cut maybe 4oz into small pieces and put it on a salad. I'm one of those people who prefer my salads with not too much lettuce. So I try to keep on hand

  • a bag of salad
  • some sunflower seeds -almond slivers -shredded carrots -grated cheese

Then I put the meat on top of the cheese because I like it to melt a little bit. I have an oil and vinegar store near me that sells a really delicious raspberry balsamic vinegar which I use as salad dressing, but you could use your favorite.

Other options are some hummus, olives and/or my favorite, those little potato chip slivers. Just sprinkle a few on top. Yum. This is fairly low calorie, very healthy and if you ask me, delicious salad. You can make this thing pretty big and still have enough calories left over to eat some ice cream.

Oh and also try adding some of those potato chip slivers to your favorite sandwich. It rocks!
