1 Hour+ 1 Skillet=Meals for the Week!

Lately, I have been seeing nutrition clients on Sunday afternoons, which means less prep time.  I was also craving pizza, so that had to be on the menu this week.  So, I did a whirlwind grocery trip, and made a breakfast and 3 dinner options out of 1 skillet, and tada!  Interesting breakfast and dinner options to the rescue!

Skillet Meal made in to
1. egg white muffins
2. feta, ground turkey and veggie pizza
3. meat sauce to pour over spaghetti squash
4. taco filling to stuff in to tortillas (with optional cheese and avocado on the side to make it pretty!)

Ingredients: 1 jar tomato sauce, 1 jar salsa, 1 carton liquid egg whites, 1 premade pizza crust (I use the gluten free, grain free "Against the Grain" crust), olive oil, spaghetti squash, tortillas (corn or whole wheat), 8 ounces feta cheese, optional cheddar cheese and avocado for tacos

Skillet: 2 peppers (1 red, 1 orange), 4 cups spinach, 1 zucchini, 1 summer squash, 2 cloves garlic, 1 onion, salt and pepper to taste, 2 lb ground turkey (I used 99% fat free variety found at Stop and Shop)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cook ground turkey in a pan. chop veggies and add to pan.  Saute until cooked to desired texture.
spread 1/4 jar pasta sauce on pizza crust.

Put 1/4 skillet mixture on pizza
Put 1/4 skillet mixture in 6 large or 2 regular sized muffin tins (greased or lined with muffin cups)
Put 1/4 skillet mixture in bowl with rest of pasta sauce
Put 1/4 skillet mixture in bowl with salsa to stuff in to tortillas at some point

Sprinkle feta cheese on pizza and cook for time recommended on pizza crust box.

Cook spaghetti squash while pizza is in oven.

Pour contents of egg white carton evenly in to egg muffin tins. Put in oven for 15 minutes.

When spaghetti squash is done, prep it for "pasta", and store in a bowl for later in the week.  Save remainder of feta for spaghetti squash pasta!

There you have it!  3 dinners (5 if you count the leftovers that will probably happen from the spaghetti squash and pizza nights!)  and 3-5 breakfasts, depending on how many egg white muffins you eat per time.

Add in a few "usual suspects" (fruits, veggies, lunch meat, salad ingredients, yogurt, oatmeal, protein powder), and the week is set.
