Every weekend for the past month has been spent packing or doing some type of task related to moving. I spent all of last week eating and cooking from 2 glass containers, a fork, a spoon, an air fryer, and the microwave. Even if you aren’t planning to move, these meal ideas might come in handy!
Here are some healthy minimalistic meal ideas from what I ate for the past week:
Overnight oats
Rotisserie chicken over a bagged salad kit
Frozen parmesan encrusted tilapia with green beans
Frozen turkey burger with red potatoes
These are great ideas if you don't want to spend hours in the kitchen meal prepping this week or just want some quick dinner ideas for your air fryer.
I also hear cooking for only 1 or 2 people can be difficult and I suppose it can be if you don't like leftovers. I heated only the portion of frozen fish or turkey burger I was going to eat at that meal. My green beans and red potatoes were both frozen bags of veggies I could heat in the microwave.
This week I will share my Minimalistic Overnight Oats recipe with you.
TIP: If you don't like cold oatmeal, you can always make it the night before and warm it in the microwave for a 30 seconds to 1 minute.
