My REALISTIC Meal Prep Process
High Protein Breakfast Biscuits, Baked Protein Pasta, Teriyaki Beef Bowls
Welcome back to another Meal Prep Perspective. Meal prep is not about perfection or spending your whole Sunday in the kitchen. It is about creating a system that supports your week, gives you nourishing meals to fall back on, and makes things feel just a little easier. I like to focus on simple ingredients, flexible swaps, and meals that taste good even after a few days in the fridge.
Here’s what I made this week:
🍳Breakfast: High Protein Breakfast Biscuits
The hearty breakfast you can enjoy …
….knowing it’s high in protein, delicious and something you’ll make time and time again
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
12 eggs
½ cup of cottage cheese
frozen mixed peppers, thawed
pepper jack cheese
🥗Lunch: Baked Protein Pasta
Pasta Dinner that’s anything but boring…
…Enjoy baked rigatoni that’s high in protein AND fiber, not to mention the other nutrients!
Ingredients
ground turkey
ground chicken
olive oil
mirepoix
garlic
mini pearl mozzarella balls
vodka sauce, (I got mine from TJ’s)
rigatoni pasta
frozen peas

salt & pepper
🥘Dinner: Teriyaki Beef Bowls
These are as good as they sound…
…and they come together quickly! The flavors and time saved are a win-win!!

My Final Thoughts
This week’s menu combines comfort and balance. The breakfast biscuits are quick and filling, the baked pasta is hearty enough to keep you satisfied all afternoon, and the teriyaki bowls come together with minimal effort after a busy day. Each meal is built to be realistic, nourishing, and enjoyable, which is what keeps meal prep sustainable.
