Here’s your meal prep guide for the week!
Each week I share a meal prep guide with my paid community members to help you cook seasonal, nutrient dense meals in an efficient, low effort way ;)
These recipes are always posted before the weekend so you have time to review the recipes and shopping list, collect the ingredients, and set some time aside for your batch prep session. Down below, you’ll see the menu for the week (with links to the recipes and grocery list), as well as a timeline on how to prep for this week.
keep in mind: I use traditional ways of cooking to receive the most nutrients possible, so some ingredients require them to be prepped hours in advance, even overnight before cooking.
Southwest Chicken Burritos
These Southwest chicken burritos are a flavorful, fuss-free favorite made with juicy batch-prepped chicken thighs, creamy raw cheese, and a vibrant carrot cilantro slaw that supports hormone balance and digestion. Wrapped in homemade sourdough tortillas, they’re packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich veggies, all designed to leave you satisfied without the bloat. The slaw adds a bright crunch and natural detox support, making this an easy go-to for busy days when you want your food to work with your body, not against it.



Southwest Chicken Fried Rice
This protein-packed fried rice brings together prepped bone broth rice, seasoned chicken thighs, and pasture-raised eggs for a meal that’s both energizing and deeply nourishing. Tossed with warming spices like cumin and chili powder, plus a splash of coconut aminos and lime for gut-loving flavor, this dish is topped with creamy avocado and hormone-friendly carrot slaw. It’s a delicious way to turn leftovers into a craveable, well-balanced lunch or dinner that hits all the right notes—comforting, nutrient-rich, and effortlessly satisfying.



Italian Lasagna Roll-Ups with Sourdough Tortillas & Cottage Cheese
These lasagna roll-ups are a genius weeknight spin on the classic comfort food, using gut-friendly sourdough tortillas in place of pasta for easier digestion and a subtle tang. Rich, grass-fed ground beef is combined with a red sauce and layered with a protein-boosted filling of cottage cheese, spinach, basil, and egg, then rolled up and baked enchilada-style under a blanket of melty raw cheese. It’s a cozy, high-protein meal that satisfies your Italian craving while supporting digestion, blood sugar balance, and hormone health!



Asian Beef & Rice + Cilantro Carrot Slaw
These Asian-inspired bowls are all about simple ingredients, big flavor, and balanced nutrition. Tender ground beef is seasoned with coconut aminos and toasted spices, then served over bone broth rice and topped with cooling cucumber, crunchy carrot slaw, and creamy avocado. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and tangy—with the added bonus of being batch-prep friendly and naturally rich in minerals, protein, and healthy fats. Every bite is satisfying and supportive of gut, hormone, and metabolic health.

Sourdough Discard Tortillas
These sourdough discard tortillas have completely changed the game in my kitchen. They’re soft, flavorful, and made with minimal ingredients—plus, they help reduce waste by putting that sourdough discard to delicious use. I batch prep and freeze them so we always have some ready to go for tacos, quesadillas, burritos, wraps—you name it. I used this simple, reliable recipe from Cooking Katie Lady, and it’s become a weekly staple. They’re gut-friendly, naturally fermented, and the perfect base for all your savory creations. This week you’ll need 18 tortillas in total so prep accordingly! I recommend making a large batch to store in the freezer (they are used often in my plans!!)

Sheet Pan Bacon & Chicken Sausage Breakfast Burritos
These breakfast burritos are the ultimate meal prep win—protein-packed, freezer-friendly, and made entirely with prepped, quality ingredients. I used my homemade sourdough discard tortillas as the base, then filled them with fluffy pasture-raised eggs, cottage cheese for creaminess and extra protein, diced chicken sausage, crispy uncured bacon, raw cheddar, and green onions. It all bakes together on one sheet pan for minimal mess and maximum flavor. Once cooled, just roll, wrap, and freeze. These are perfect for busy mornings or even a savory lunch. Nourishing, satisfying, and done in bulk—yes please.




Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Balls
These no-bake protein balls are the ultimate snack for energy, blood sugar stability, and that chocolate-peanut butter craving. Made with simple, whole-food ingredients like homemade peanut butter, collagen or protein powder, raw honey, and mini chocolate chips, they’re perfect for grab-and-go nourishment that feels like dessert. Rich in protein, healthy fats, and minerals, they help curb cravings, support hormone health, and keep you fueled between meals—without any junk or sugar crash.

My goal with all of the recipes is to use the same variety of ingredients, just turned into different flavor profiles… that way your grocery trip is short & sweet.
I get it, life is BUSY. We are constantly on the go, places to be, people to see… but that shouldn’t stop you from investing time in yourself & in your health. When we eat for nutrition vs macros & looks, you’re entire life can turn around…
