Favorite Easy Meal Day

February 11, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC22 Comments

I am a fan of easy, healthy and quick when it comes to food (I’m also a fan of greasy, delicous and cheap but that’s a whole other blog post!). I am often overwhelmingly busy and just don’t have time to spend hours cooking each week. I thought I’d share my favorite easy breakfast, lunch and dinner with you.

Breakfast

Overnight oats: throw oats, bit of brown sugar and almond milk in your container. The next morning add fresh strawberries and enjoy!

Lunch

This one’s easy (and not photographed). PB&J with a side of homemade popcorn.

Dinner

Easy breezy english muffin mini pizzas! (Recipe here).

    I have heard so much about these overnight oats! My favorite is still PB and J. Have you ever tried a grilled PB and J? It’s yummy!

    I’m a big fan of overnight oats! I add some greek yogurt to mine as well as the almond milk. This is the recipe I use http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal. And the english muffin pizzas look delicious, I’m going to go check that link out.

      I think you’ll really like the english muffin pizzas – so good and you can just put whatever you have on hand for toppings.

    Love a PB&J sandwich for lunch and evening snack πŸ™‚

    My quick go to meal is penne pasta with chicken. I toss it with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and feta. Yum!

    I’m not going to lie – I may or may not have had a PB&J sandwich for dinner last night, not ashamed.

    I like overnight oats too – I use half greek yogurt (i love the chobani coconut, vanilla, or orange vanilla for this) and half water, and toss in some raisins. Lunch is usually leftovers or a Lean Cuisine. A fast dinner is usually taco salad or spaghetti and turkey meatballs. πŸ˜‰

    I have never tried the overnight oats before. Do they end up being super mushy? The mini pizza’s on the other had, I make large batches of those and freeze them. My son loves them. πŸ™‚

      It all depends on how much milk you add. I like mine on the thicker side so I add just a bit of milk (you can always add more milk in the morning) and they are perfect!

    Wait, what? You can do that to oats?? I have oatmeal probably 6 out of 7 days of the week for breakfast. This is awesomeeeeee! I love almond milk and strawberries, too! So, just throw it all together and put it in the fridge and the next morning, add berries and it’s done?
