Also, you'll notice I only actually cook 4 meals each week. The other days I either grab a made ahead meal from the freezer, eat leftovers, or make a big salad bowl with whatever is in the fridge.
*Batch Cook Meal* Paleo Chicken Fingers and Home Fries (or Sweet Potato Fries) and veggie sticks - I like to do up a huge batch of home fries and chicken fingers to freeze for later for a quick "fast food" type meal that is actually healthy. The fries are simply organic local potatoes, coconut oil and sea salt. Grocery store fries are another alternative but they are fried in free-radical causing oil and contain harmful additives. To pre-make fries, bake normally but half the time (usually about 20 minutes vs 40), cool and freeze. You can lay them flat on a pan to freeze then transfer to a freezer bag or just put in a freezer bag once cooled and lay them flat so they aren't in a big clump. Chicken fingers can be baked normally or for slightly less time than indicated. Note: I'm not sure sweet potato fries would freeze well. |
