Meal Prep Inspiration

by Samantha Snyder

If you are looking to incorporate more fresh, nutritious local food into your diet, meal prep is the way to go. Keep it as simple as you want and find what you love - your body and your taste buds will thank you!

BEEF TIPS

Klymer Ridge Farm offers beef stew/tips, which would make a delicious slow cooker beef stew. If it’s just you (or you and your partner) at home, a recipe like this can double as dinner and meal prep. Section out the leftover stew for future meals - you can even freeze it. Looking to take your own lunches to work? Buy a soup thermos that will keep your stew steaming hot from the time you pack it in the morning until you’re ready to eat. Nothing’s more comforting than a hot, homemade meal at work!

TURKEY

Turkey is a lean and nutritious meat to incorporate into your diet. Even if you’re not a big turkey fan, see how you like it locally raised. Customers can taste the difference. Try Sunflower Hill Farm’s bone-in double turkey breast roasted with garlic and herbs. Serve as an entrée for supper, or shred the meat and refrigerate or freeze for future sandwiches or wraps. A turkey sandwich on Rabble and Rise whole grain sourdough would be divine!

GROUND BEEF

Versatile and easy to prepare, ground beef is another excellent protein for meal prep - and Rocky Forge’s ground wagyu is to die for! It would be delicious in freezer burritos - flavor-packed and pre-wrapped, ready for your next craving. Or, try Korean beef meal prep bowls for a completely different, equally tasty flavor profile.
