soup, salad, or bowls/meal prep monday
chicken pot pie or like this (use rotisserie chicken + puff pastry)
edited to add: I used these recipes as guidelines, and did the following:
3 potatoes, diced small + 4 TB butter, saute for 5-7 minutes until smells yummy
add in 1/4 c flour until all potatoes are coated
add in 3 cups broth + 1/4 c milk/cream/half and half (I used a combo of cream and half and half I needed to use up - let bubble and thicken
add in 1 rotisserie chicken and 2 bags of frozen mixed vegetables
add more broth/cream/milk/liquid until desired soupiness
salt and pepper to taste
puff pastry + egg wash on top
freeze or bake
(refer to recipes for temperatures - I just winged it)
made enough for 1 small pyrex for dinner and 3 freezer meals
meal prep monday: sweet potato waffles (freeze) + no bake oatmeal balls

creamy garlic alfredo pasta (double sauce)
can the sauce be doubled and this pasta be frozen as a dish or in muffin tins?
hide cauliflower in the alfredo sauce like this? or is that gross?
(edited to add: I added in some riced cauliflower when sauteeing garlic and it was perfect)

Wednesday:
best ground beef tacos (triple for freezer) (use ground beef + ground turkey in freezer + add in riced caulflower when sauteeing onion + puree spinach into tomato sauce)
- bake: peanut butter chocolate chips cookies (PSA: we keep our cookies in the freezer so that 1) we don't have to eat a boatload of cookies by ourselves in a week and 2) Brett likes to have something sweet at night, and this way he has an assortment to choose from)
