Recipes from Lemon8 Creators 🍋✨
Way too LONG Post!!!!!
Breakfast- I don't know why I thought spam was going to be good or why I had spam in the pantry, but I did!!! Maybe I was craving a taste of Hawaii. However, after trying it, I quickly realized that it's was on of the most amazing breakfast I have made myself in years. Eggs, rice and spam for breakfast who would have thought? I encourage you to follow @Sikfan Kitchen for great ideas for dishes and I did enjoy trying something out of my comfort zone for breakfast. New Year, New me!!! 431 calories to start the morning $4.25 a serving, but “ free” to me girl Math!!!
Lunch- I was surprised how delicious and effortless this dish was. Four simple ingredients came together perfectly. Broccoli,Alfredo sauce, chicken and Parmesan cheese for only 265 calories per serving made 6 servings and costing just $1.91 per serving. Disclaimer- I shredded the chicken in the blender because I was too lazy to shredded it by hand, so it gave it a weird texture. That was my bad!!! I highly recommend trying out this simple recipe for a quick and tasty meal from @HomeCookVibe
Snack- Some may argue that eggs are not a healthy snack because of their cholesterol content, but I disagree!! This egg salad recipe only requires five simple ingredients. I also got to use fresh eggs from my own chickens they have been laying like crazy, it's a win-win situation! Thank you @Mom for this perfect recipe for a party of one. It made enough to have an egg sandwich tomorrow. 106 calories per serving it made three servings and technically cost $6.25 per serving but “free” to me because I had everything in the pantry.
Today I ate for $55.79 but girl math I ate for $11.50. I have three meal prep dinners, one lunch and tons of ingredients left over to go with other dishes this week.
Eating well can be both enjoyable and fulfilling. In addition to the creative recipes from Lemon8 creators, let’s explore the nutritional value inherent in a balanced diet. Breakfast is often said to be the most important meal of the day, and by incorporating protein-rich ingredients such as eggs and lean meats, you'll have sustained energy throughout your morning activities. The unique combination of Spam, rice, and eggs in the breakfast option not only brings a taste of Hawaii but also ensures you're getting a good mix of carbohydrates and protein to kick-start your day. For lunch, the use of broccoli paired with chicken provides vital vitamins and minerals. Broccoli is known for its high vitamin C and fiber content, while chicken offers lean protein, both of which contribute to a healthy and balanced diet. Alfredo sauce, though creamy and rich, can be used sparingly to create a delightful taste without compromising health. When preparing meals, consider portion control and ingredient substitutions to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor. Snacks can often derail healthy eating habits; however, by making choices like a homemade egg salad using your own fresh eggs, you're not only indulging in a tasty treat but also benefiting from high-quality protein and essential nutrients. It's all about making informed choices based on what's available in your pantry. For those interested in meal prepping, utilizing bulk ingredients can lead to more cost-effective and healthier eating options. So embrace the challenge of meal prepping with these quick recipes, and enjoy the process of cooking while maintaining a mindful approach to nutrition.
