Meal Prep #24

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

Feb 10, 2025

I decided to post on Monday instead of Sunday this week because I figured everyone would be busy watching the Super Bowl. This year’s Super Bowl was pretty boring, but watching the Chiefs lose is always fun, so there’s that. My favorite things from the Super Bowl were Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show, Totino’s commercial with Tim Robinson, and the fact that Harrison Butker didn’t even get a field goal attempt. (What a loser)

Anyway, back to meal prep!

This week had so many ups and downs. Lunch was successful, but breakfast took me too many tries.

For breakfast, I attempted to make a matcha strawberry kolache. This was the feedback I received on them (after already saying I thought they were bad):

“These are really bad”

“Yeah the dough is really bad, this is really bad”

“This does not taste good like at all”

“Yeah this is bad”

It’s safe to say they did not come out great. I researched them for a week before trying to make them for the first time this weekend, so it’s back to the drawing board.

Because the kolache fell through, I had to whip up a chocolate peanut butter chia pudding to replace it. I’ve made this one on my blog before, so unfortunately I’m short one new breakfast recipe this week.

At least one breakfast I made was a huge success. The chicken minis were delicious. I was impressed with this one and was munching on them while typing up some of these recipes last week. Chick-fil-A recently changed their chicken supplier to cut costs and many have been complaining about how bad their quality has gotten. My ingredients were better quality, and while it didn’t taste exactly like Chick-fil-A, I thought they were even better. Plus, 50 homemade chicken minis cost the same amount as 10 of them from Chick-fil-A, so it was worth it.

For lunch, I made yaki udon and Korean corn dogs with a Hawaiian mac salad. The yaki udon was my favorite because I always crave an udon stir fry. It came together so easily and when I’m craving noodles I make these. This one has the stamp of approval and is my mom and I’s favorite this week.

My dad’s favorite this week was the Korean corn dogs and Hawaiian mac salad. He ate my share of the meal prep. He especially liked the Hawaiian mac salad, because it took him back when he used to live there. So, let’s take a look at the menu!
