SNOWFOOD

How to make 25 simple delicious recipes with food you already have on a snowy day…

It’s rare for us to get snow during the winter. We’d barely get half an inch and the whole city shuts down! Every family you know will be in the grocery stores fighting over bread and milk. Oh, yeah, and sometimes cheese too. I’ve been in Charlotte my whole life and never quite understood why. I mean, are milk-sandwiches traditional snow food?! I’m not a big grilled cheese fan either. (Lactose ?)

I’ve noticed that’s what people rush to buy anytime they hear storm warnings. We’re always stocked up on fruit, vegetables, eggs, water bottles, oatmeal, etc. I do not plan to sit up in my home eating bread, cheese and milk during a storm. That does not sound fun at all. I apologize if I’ve offended you. (It’s not my fault you eat milk and bread in the storm?)

These two here, are inseparable…

We’ve gotten into the habit of meal prepping on a Saturday. We’d grill about 40lbs of chicken breast, chicken thighs, or salmon. (Whatever we’re in the mood for) Steam a green vegetable, and bake a bunch of potatoes. (Or microwave them)

We’d prep as many in glass Tupperware as possible and freeze the rest. Because chicken should be eaten within 3 days, we make enough for lunch and dinner  for the next 3 days. Then pull the rest out of the freezer. For example, 4 oz of protein, a cup of veggies and half of a carb. We  don’t eat the same exact  thing all day long, but we would if that’s how we prepped the meals.

We’d boil about 40 eggs. Refrigerate what we don’t eat. Eggs will  last a week in the fridge. (But it’s usually gone within days) Very convenient, effortless protein.

Snowfood, snowfood secrets, refrigerator must have, superfood , eat clean

REFRIGERATOR MUST HAVES:

Raw kale, raw eggs, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, carrots, celery, almond/coconut milk, Greek yogurt, cheese, corn, apples, oranges, avocado, lime, lettuce, spinach, corn, ginger, cilantro, green pepper, red onions, green onions and mushrooms. You can easily make a meatless salad with those ingredients.

FREEZER MUST HAVES:

Blueberries, strawberries, frozen yogurt, shrimp and broccoli because they don’t last as long in the fridge.

PANTRY MUST HAVES:

Assorted potatoes, jasmine rice, walnuts, granola, oatmeal, grits, bread, spinach wraps, tortilla wraps, peanut butter, bananas, veggie chips, cereal, honey, agave, and water bottles.

That should be plenty of options to create different meals. Meal prepping makes life so much easier. This way you will never not have any food to eat. So with the list I gave you, this is what you can make without giving it much thought. But if that’s not your thing, here’s a list of meal ideas you can create out of the “MUST HAVES” list.

  1. chipotle bowls
  2. mixed green salad (add chicken or salmon)
  3. kale salad  (add chicken, salmon, nuts)
