I rarely follow a specific recipe. I keep it simple. A lot of times it’s a bag of vegetables, a bag of meat, a seasoning packet, and some oil and water. I can’t give a recipe for what I make, I just cook. <br><br>This week I made a lot of food. I still have enough for 3-4 more meals. I have some leftovers and frozen vegetables I can use. The boys can have cereal. We won’t starve. <br><br>Next week, I’m going to go for more snacks and more fruit. It’s hard to feed teenage boys. They don’t stop eating. My wife and I no longer prep on the weekends. We need a break from cooking and eating. We’re cutting back on snatch so we can get rid of some of the weight we’ve both gained. <br><br>This week<br>8 burritos<br>8 chicken sandwiches<br>8 chicken breasts<br>4 cups cooked rice<br>4 cups stir-fry<br>4 cups yogurt<br>4 hard boiled eggs<br>4 carrots<br>4 apples<br>4 sweet potatoes<br>4 granola bars<br>4 cups apple juice<br><br>$105.38<br><br>Last week<br>8 burritos<br>8 breasts<br>4 cups rice<br>4 cups stir-fry<br>4 cups yogurt<br>8 hard boiled eggs<br>4 carrots<br>4 apples<br>4 sweet potatoes<br>4 granola bars<br>4 cups apple juice<br><br>$102.38<br><br>The week before<br>8 burritos<br>8 breasts<br>4 cups rice<br>4 cups stir-fry<br>4 cups yogurt<br>8 hard boiled eggs<br>4 carrots<br>4 apples<br>4 sweet potatoes<br>4 granola bars<br>4 cups apple juice<br><br>$102.38<br><br>I’m going to pick up some ground beef and make some burgers for the boys this week.
