It usually looks a little less like a game of Tetris or that fruit drop game where stuff is weirdly balanced and could fall at any point. But meal prepping took a few more containers than usual for this week 😅 but anyways, let me know what this tells you about me.
I think the only stuff not from the food pantry was the stuff for the breakfast casserole. Which I’m pretty sure it was under $5. And I guess the spices lol.
The breakfast casserole is a can of croissants with the little frozen sausage links from Walmart sliced up and 6 eggs with yolks stirred and broken with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in it. Oven was on 350. The video I got the recipe said 25-30 minutes, but think it took an extra 10-15 minutes before I felt comfy with the eggs not being runny still.
The second one is something my partner thinks I’m crazy for. It’s peanut butter rice something or other. I made some white jasmine rice (I had the rice but is something available at a lot of food pantries) in my rice cooker. And then put a little soy sauce. Like 4 heaping teaspoons of peanut butter. A drained can of green beans. 2 little packets of dried cranberries (I have used raisins in this before). And a little bit of peanuts (I guess this was something I already had also).
Third is just some kind of pasta noodles and then I had a can of traditional pasta sauce that I added a few random spices to and a can of chicken.
Third was Mac and cheese and then I mixed some black beans with a can of fire roasted garlic diced tomatoes and added some seasonings to it also.
Anyway. I am tired of cooking now. But at least have food for the rest of the week that I work now 🤣
