Meal Prep Week 2!

Wow, I can't believe that the first week of term 2 is already complete. Because our course load has been manageable so far, I have had more time to cook and prepare meals that I enjoy! Yesterday, we finished up our usual grocery shopping and today, I set aside a few hours to make a few things that I plan to eat during the week.

Potluck
Today, our friends hosted a potluck party at their apartment. We were in charge of making/bringing chip dip. So, instead of just buying a small container of salsa, I thought I would make a vegetarian 7-layer dip. While grocery shopping, I picked up a few extra ingredients. Then, my roommate and I put together a great dip! The recipe was a combination of a youtube recipe video and our 10 pm creative minds! :)  It was super easy to make and all the ingredients can be found at IGA.

Meal Prep
Due to the hot and humid weather, I thought that I would prepare a light, cooler dish for dinners this week. So, I thought a pasta salad would be a great option! While the pasta was cooking, I cut and mixed veggies and fruits.

Then, I mixed everything together and added a spices to give it flavor.

For snacks, I have apples and I am thoroughly enjoying the yogurt/granola combination. So, I am going to stick with that this week!

I also cut up a head of lettuce so that I can add a few other ingredients during the week and make sandwiches for lunches.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Week 2, here we come! :)
