Two 15 Minute Preparation Day Meals

Two Easy Meals for One or Two People

Hello, my heart friend. I find myself in need of a few quick meals that are easy to prepare and store for my lunch the next day. How about you? Thinking ahead and preparing the meals on my preparation day, helps me eat a little healthier too. I know I want my vegetables to be crisp and flavorful, so stir-fry is my go to. Shrimp is on sale this week and it will compliment the veggies well for my first meal.

The second meal, incorporates broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with Adele’s Chicken Apple Sausage. So, here is your shopping list for both:

  • 1 lb. organic carrots
  • 1 bunch organic broccoli
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 ounce of coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh snap peas
  • 1 onion
  • 1 lb organic button mushrooms
  • 1 package Adele’s Chicken apple sausage
  • 1 12 oz bag shrimp
  • 1 red pepper
  • Onion powder
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • If you are in a pinch and do not have time (or the energy) to cut up all theses vegetables don’t hesitate to make your life a little easier and substitute a 12 ounce bag of frozen, already chopped stir-fry vegetables and a 12 ounce bag of California Style vegetables. They both contain all of the vegetables listed above.

15 Minute Shrimp Stir-Fry

First, sauté 1 cup of precooked shrimp in 1 minced clove of garlic and heated olive oil, heat for about a minute then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Second, place the stir-fry vegetables into the skillet ( this can be your 12 ounce bag of stir-fry vegetables) or sauté 1/2 cup mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the onions, then the carrots, stir until just tender, add 1/4 cup diced red pepper and snap peas. Add the 1 cup chopped broccoli last. Mix 1 ounce of coconut aminos with 2 ounces of water and add this to the pan, stir well then add incorporate the shrimp.

It only takes about 15 minutes.
****I do not add salt to this dish because the coconut aminos is high in sodium, it is spread throughout the dish, but if you are on a low sodium diet you may want to use less, maybe a teaspoon instead of an ounce***

15 Minute California Blend with Chicken Apple Sausage

First, heat a medium skillet with very lightly coated olive oil.

Next, thinly slice the sausage and sauté until browned. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside. Add 1 ounce of olive oil mixed with two ounces of water to the skillet. Follow that with 1 tsp onion powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Lastly, stir until just tender and return the sausage to the pan, mix well and serve or store for lunch the next day!

I hope these easy 15 minute meals help you have an easier week! Maybe it will offer you less time to stress over what to eat and more time to spend enjoying life. Here is a beautiful message from Paul in chapter 5 of Romans to spend some time on today as you check off one more thing on your to do list:

 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through Him by faith[ into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
