Woke up at 6 am after 7 hours of sleep and felt refreshed. That hasn't happened in a long time! Today I have spent many hours in the kitchen and in front of the computer. Starting to get a handle on things and have planned the week based on how much time I have to spend in the kitchen. All breakfasts have to be prepared beforehand, there is neither time nor interest to stand in the kitchen and cook in the morning. Most of the food I cook or at least prepare at lunchtime, in the afternoon I have no time to be in the kitchen and dinner must not take more than 30 minutes to prepare. The whole family eats dinner together and I usually make pasta, rice or mashed potatoes for the children. I also have to cook enough to make 3 lunch boxes the next day (here in the US we send lunch boxes to school and kindergarten).
Today I have prepared and cooked Herb meatballs, Lemon salmon with baked squash, Orange chicken, Club salad with turkey and Musselsoup.
Breakfast
Cucumber and Avocado Soup
Freshly squeezed orange juice
Snacks
Strawberries, raspberries and pineapple
Lunch
Club salad with turkey
Ingredients
2 slices of bacon
2 zucchini
4 slices smoked turkey
1/4 avocado
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Cut the bacon and zucchini into small pieces, then fry in the olive oil for about 15 minutes. Cut the smoked turkey and avocado into small pieces. Squeeze lemon juice over it. Mix all ingredients well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
Good and protein-rich lunch! You can also replace the zucchini with baby spinach or another salad and it's even quicker. If bacon is also available pre-fried, this is an incredibly quick, tasty and easy meal.
Snacks
Apple
Dinner
Lemon Salmon with oven baked squash
Ingredients
600 gr salmon
1 lemon
Olive oil
Black pepper
Salt
1 acorn squash
Honey
Instructions
Marinate the salmon in lemon salt, olive oil and black pepper for about 2 hours.
Cut the acorn squash in half, remove the seeds. Leave the cut side up on a baking sheet. Pour on some olive oil, honey and black pepper.
Turn the oven to 200 degrees for about 45 minutes. The acorn squash is ready when it separates easily when cut with a fork.
With 20 minutes left on the acorn squash, it's time for the salmon to cook in the oven. Tuck the plate with the marinated salmon and remove when ready. The salmon is ready when the thermometer reads 60 degrees or when it splits easily and is not red inside. Enjoy!
