Having a lot on your plate can easily mess up your priorities and make you ignore the basics, the essentials – the things that we actually need in order to live a life that we like. When you’re only focused on putting out fires you didn’t even start all day long, you’re forgetting something far more important: yourself. Your health, your happiness and peace of mind.

One way to stay healthy is to eat healthy the majority of the time. I find it especially easy to reach for sweets and pizza when I do have a stressful week. Cooking is the last thing I want to do and I’d rather have chips, dips and a dessert for dinner.

Thankfully, people who are fitter and more prepared than me came up with a way to overcome this. It’s called meal prep. You make all or some of your healthy meals for the week ahead to make sure you’ll be eating healthy all week long. No matter what happens. Now that you have the meal prep dinner recipes cooked and waiting in your fridge – that’s the more convenient option. And when those meals actually taste good, it becomes even easier! You’ll save money, you’ll save time, you’ll save your health, your digestion and you’ll save yourself the guilt trips.


How To Meal Prep & Eat Clean All Week Long

If you want to eat clean during the entire week, I highly recommend:

  • getting enough healthy groceries for the week
  • having a list of easy and healthy recipes that you’ll actually want to eat
  • preparing a meal plan (you can get this template for 20% off with code NTB20)
  • having some meals ready for the days you know you won’t have time and willingness to cook

You don’t really have to prepare all your meals for the entire week – you simply need to prepare some meals for the days when you know you might be tempted to order takeout or to reach for chips. I understand we all have different schedules, so do what works for you best.

I am not a huge fan of ground beef or ground meat in general (ahem, makes these Greek meatball bowls and ground beef dinner skillet), but thanks to my husband, I again ended up with some ground beef at home and was completely lost.

But I remembered that A LOOONG time ago, when I was a student and found out I had iron deficiency like almost every young woman out there, I started cooking ground beef once a week. My doctor recommended it and I obeyed like a sheep following the leader.

I started creating different dishes, but the one I really loved was one with bulgur (for extra iron), eggplant and ground beef. It was so good, I would eat it even without the iron deficiency.

Somehow that dish flew out of my mind and my dinner rotation over the years, but now I’ve started cooking it again and am sharing it with you.

Lucky for me, my toddler hates, I repeat, HATES anything with rice or quinoa or beef (well except lasagna). My husband is very resistant to the idea of eating anything healthy, even with beef, he likes his pizza. That leaves me. And me, well, I don’t like to share food. This means I could spice this ground beef skillet anyway I want, I can add vegetables to it and actually enjoy it without someone calling mint an evil weed or pretending to be throwing up. No, no. This delicious dinner is only for me and I’m done with making dinner for 3 entire days. Everyone else: Save yourself. Self-care completed.
