MEAL PREP WITH ME | HIGH PROTEIN, FAMILY FRIENDLY MEALS FOR THE WEEK Welcome back 🤍 Today I’m sharing a meal prep with me where I put together several meals to help feed our family throughout the week. Meal prepping when I can truly saves me — because when dinner plans fall apart or life gets busy (which it always does), I have something to fall back on. The work I put in now is always thanked by my future self… and let me tell you, this week’s recipes are BANGING 🔥 Healthy, family friendly, high in protein, easy to make, and absolutely flavor packed. Minimal ingredients, maximum results — every single time. I made 5 dinner recipes (that can also double as lunches) plus 1 dessert, so 6 recipes total. This is exactly the kind of reset I committed to at the start of 2026 — being more intentional about cooking at home and not waiting until 5pm to figure out what’s for dinner. And listen… that still happens sometimes 😅 but it happens a LOT less when I meal prep like this. I plan for this to become a series, so if you enjoy realistic meal prep for a busy family, definitely stick around! 🍽️ WHAT I MADE THIS WEEK: 1️⃣ Teriyaki Chicken Marinade One of my all-time favorites that I make again and again. A true classic — and cooking it on the grill takes the flavor to another level. https://macrofriendlyfood.com/ref/194/ 2️⃣ Philly Cheesesteak Sliders SO easy, minimal ingredients, but incredibly flavor packed. A great one to keep in your back pocket for busy nights or get-togethers. https://macrofriendlyfood.com/ref/194/ 3️⃣ Taco Pasta A family staple! I added beans and extra chicken stock, and it turned out amazing. Anything pasta is a yes for me. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-tZNBhuRem/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 4️⃣ Cowboy Butter Pasta Another pasta dish? Say no more. The homemade cowboy butter sauce is unreal — bold, rich, and so good. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DURs3oAjFec/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 5️⃣ Beef Noodle Bowl Packed with veggies, protein, and flavor. This one was a huge family favorite. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRxPzaoD--O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 6️⃣ Snickers Dates Okay… these really ARE that good.
