It&#8217;s that weird time again, with hybrid working and I have found myself home a couple weeks in a row. Meal prepping is a must during these times for me. It helps me to stay somewhat healthy, while also feeling full! Not to mention, cooking is fun to me, so on the weekends when I do this, it makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My past meal preps can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighteyedsmiles.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/14\/meal-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> from March of 2021. And a summer edition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighteyedsmiles.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/19\/meal-prep-summer-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only repeats so far are the salad, however I&#8217;ve listed different ingredients each time. Having a ready-made salad has been a life-saver for me many weeks. If I don&#8217;t have something already chopped and ready to go, I often find myself resorting to a less than nutritious snack. So! Let&#8217;s get into it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5259 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brighteyedsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MealPrep_2022-282x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brighteyedsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MealPrep_2022-282x300.jpg 282w, http:\/\/www.brighteyedsmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MealPrep_2022.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meal-prep-february-2022-edition\">Meal Prep February 2022 Edition<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salad: Kale, Apple, Carrots, Avocado<\/li>\n<li>Fig &amp; Goat Cheese Bites: Fig Preserves, Goat Cheese Slice on any cracker of choosing<\/li>\n<li>Swiss Chard Soup: (<a href=\"https:\/\/2sistersrecipes.com\/tuscan-swiss-chard-and-beans-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Mexican Chicken Nachos: Taco Seasoned Pulled Chicken, Lime Style Tortilla Chips, Green Pepper, Sour Cream, Shredded Mexican Cheese, Avocado Slices<\/li>\n<li>Tuna Melt on Naan: Exactly as stated.
