I try to eat veggies at all three meals. Generally, breakfast would consist of green beans, eggs and bacon or chicken apple sausage. That started back when I did my first Whole30 … and it was a habit that just stayed with me.
Breakfast Meal Prep
*gosh, have I not shared this yet??*
Now that it’s winter time though, green beans are not really in season and quite honestly, frozen green beans cook up too mushy for my taste. I prefer they have some crunch still.
So lately, I’ve been grabbing frozen veggies from Aldi and Walmart …
$1.09 Aldi
$5.88 each Walmart
Walmart also carries a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots for $5.88 … and these are large bags. Hubby is not a fan of the carrots and I never was either until recently …
Anyways. Some people think I’m weird because I eat these veggies at breakfast. But I know that is my BEST time to get veggies into my day! And I have a super easy way for you to make these in the morning without a whole lot of fuss, promise!
Grab yourself a skillet.
Trader Joe’s Ghee $3.99
Most grocery stores carry this for $8.99
(look in the oil and vinegar section)
Turn that heat to medium and add some ghee, avocado oil or what not. Not a lot, just a little bit to coat the bottom of pan. Personally, I use ghee as I think ghee is made for sauteing veggies!
Add the veggies, season with a little salt/pepper/garlic powder/onion powder mixture.
Don’t worry … a post on this is coming soon!
Add a touch of water and put a lid on it. Keep the veggies over medium heat and check on them in about 5 minutes or so, giving a quick stir.
Once they are heated through and softened to your liking, go ahead and dish them up! I like mine firm but hubby likes his mushy so we have to split them up a little!
*If you’d like a little char to them, take the lid off and crank the heat to HIGH and let them cook for a minute or so, tossing them after the first minute. Keep an eye on them as they will overcook if you aren’t careful!
Enjoy!
