Organization and Shopping Lists for previous post....
As promised! Here are the detailed list and grocery list in printable format for the 6 hours to 16 meal preps!
This organizing and shopping list is meant as a guideline. If you have your favorite recipes for these items, use them! If not, use mine! You know how much you normally need for your family so adjust quantities for that. You will need gallon size plastic baggies (ugh) or foodsaver bags for most of these recipes, so don’t forget to pick those up! Also, you can go as crazy as you would like with this. Please use all or none of the organic stuff, substitute sour cream for yogurt in the tacos...make what you know and like. This is just what we eat and I had to draw the line of options somewhere.
The first time you do something like this it will likely take you longer than 2 hours a day. Once you get used to it, it may take you less time. I have noted on the organizing list what I did on each day in case you don’t want to buy all of this at once!
I have used these meal items for a week now and LOVE it! I have added new items this week, like mac n cheese and pizza dough. I will post next week!
Organization List
2 packs of shredded organic chicken Day 1
6 boneless skinless organic chicken breastsThis will vary depending on how much you think you will use.
1 pack of 4 marinated organic chicken breasts (plus dinner that day) Day 1
8 boneless skinless organic chicken breasts
2 packs plus ingredients for marinade. I like to use italian dressing dry packet with oil and vinegar.
I put one for each family member in a pack. I made one pack for the freezer and kept the other pack in the refrigerator for dinner that night. I also added green beans and organic short grain brown rice to my grocery list for my meal.
2 packs of meatballs Day 1
each pack had about 15 meatballs, you can smaller or larger packets if needed
2.5 lbs organic grass fed ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
2 T Garlic Powder
2 T Italian Seasonings
¼ cup egg beaters or one egg
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 packs of 4 hamburgers each Day 1
again...you can make smaller or larger packets if needed
2.5 lbs organic grass fed ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup egg beaters
2 t Worcestershire Sauce
½ packet onion soup mix
2 packs pulled pork (plus dinner for that day) Day 2
I went to Costco and got a four pack of pork tenderloin. It was about 6 pounds. This cut of meat has a lot less fat and mess than a traditional shoulder or picnic roast. Use what you would like, the recipe is the same. I am a huge Carolina pulled pork girl, but a patient of mine once gave me the recipe I am using here and it is very versatile! You will love it. You MUST marinate it overnight.so place that in a baggie on day one and you will be ready for the morning.
4 large pork tenderloins
1 head of minced garlic
¼ t dried cumin
1 T dried oregano
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup OJ
¼ cup fresh lime juice (2 limes)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
I added soft taco shells, organic non-fat plain greek yogurt, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheddar cheese and salsa to my grocery list for my meal.
3 packs ground turkey breast sausage (homemade) Day 2
5 lb boneless skinless turkey breast was used for sausage and burgers if you want to grind your own. If not, just get
3 lbs ground turkey BREAST
1.5 Tablespoons chopped ORGANIC fresh sage
1.5 Tablespoons chopped fresh ORGANIC thyme
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
½ Tablespoon Nutmeg
½ Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper (optional, i did not use this but some people like their sausage spicy)
1 pack of 4 ground turkey breast burgers plus dinner for day 3 (homemade) Day 2
If you are grinding your own, the 5 lb breast from above is enough for the sausage and the burgers. If not, just get
2 lbs ground turkey BREAST
1 packet hidden valley ranch salad dry dressing mix
¼ cup egg beaters or one egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use weight watchers)
I added burger buns, lettuce, tomato and burger fixings along with organic potatoes to my grocery list for my meal.
