New series - prep & repurpose!! This week we prepped a handful of things and are going to show you how we are going to repurpose them throughout the week.

I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen over the weekend, but I do know how beneficial a little meal prep can be. It takes the guesswork out of mealtime during the week and helps set you up for a successful week.

What we prepped:
- roasted veggies (cauliflower, beets, & sweet potatoes)
- shredded chicken - https://eatthegains.com/how-to-make-e...
- oatmeal chocolate chip muffins - https://eatthegains.com/oatmeal-choco...
- white rice - https://eatthegains.com/instant-pot-r...
- overnight oats - https://eatthegains.com/coffee-overni... & https://eatthegains.com/apple-cinnamo...

Meals we made throughout the week:
We used roasted veggies in salads and at breakfast
We used shredded chicken in:
- chicken taco casserole - https://eatthegains.com/chicken-taco-...
- chicken & butternut squash soup - https://eatthegains.com/turkey-butter...
- chicken salad melts - https://eatthegains.com/paleo-buffalo...
We ate oatmeal chocolate chip muffins as snacks throughout the week
We added our white rice to breakfast, lunch, and dinner
We ate overnight oats as an easy breakfast
