First Meal Prep Monday

Today I started the Advocare 10 day cleanse. 

I prefer citrus flavor but, it also comes in peaches n cream.

I'm ready to get rid of the Christmas slug. For the best results you should not eat anything processed and limit dairy, no alcohol, drink plenty of water and eat as "clean" as possible. If you would like to try the cleanse, comment or shoot me an e mail, runningscissors508@gmail.com. I can have it shipped right to your door.  www.advocare.com/13049739...here is a link to the cleanse:

With starting the cleanse, that threw me in to meal prepping for the week. Makes things easier to grab and go, and less tempting to grab "junk".

This is my first attempt, with help from Instagram and Pinterest.

I started off by getting Monday's dinner in the crockpot, which I wanted to try my Dads recipe for swiss steak. Mine is never tender, always chewy. He says he can cut his swiss steak with a fork. I'm going to find out tonight.

Rick's Tender Swiss Steak 

First add 1/4 cup water and heat skillet or electric skillet, (depends on how many pieces you want to do).

Flour both sides of meat and brown on both sides. (won't take long)

Meanwhile in a medium bowl add:

can of Campbell's French Onion Soup

a can of water

Brown Gravy packet

Au Jus Gravy packet- whisk together

Put the browned meat in crockpot and pour mixture over meat and cook on low for about 5 hours.

Some of the other things I prepped today was:

Boiled 1 1/2 dz Eggs 

Browned 1 lb of Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Boiled & shredded chicken breast for chicken salad 

Measured/weighed out carrots and hummus and grapes

Made a tomato, cucumber & onion salad 

Baked Chicken Breast and paired them with green beans and broccoli

I hope to do this every week. It did not take very long and I don't have to worry about what's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now some evenings I still need to make dinner, but when I work late or pack hubby's lunch, it is easy.
