Meal Prep Your Heart Out With These 10 Yummy Meals

Meal prepping saves so much time during the week. Instead of having to cook dinner every single night and figuring out what you want to eat each time, you just whip up a big batch of one meal on Sunday and you have it for dinner that week. Just a simple reheat and you're done! Meal prepping is wonderful, but sometimes it can be hard to think of new meals to make each week. Here are 10 ideas for you to check out if you've run out of things to cook or just want to try something new.

1. Chicken Burrito Bowl

This dish is super simple to put together! Store each component of the dish separately and then layer them in a bowl when you're ready to eat.

2. Zucchini Noddles with Turkey Meatballs

I am a HUGE zucchini noodle fan, but if they aren't your cup of tea, substitute them for regular spaghetti noodles. Many stores sell frozen pre-made meatballs if you didn't want to make them yourself.

3. Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry

The teriyaki sauce in this dish really takes the traditional stir fry to the next level. Put this dish over some jasmine rice and you've got it made.

4. Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers look difficult to make, but they are one of the easiest things to throw together. Simply make the stuffing in a pan and scoop it into the peppers. When you're ready to eat them bake them in the oven and enjoy.

5. Vegan Sweet Potato Bowl

For those of you who are vegan or vegetarian here, this is the dish for you! If you're not, then add meat or tofu.

6. Cauliflower Chowder

This creamy chowder is great for when it is cold outside. It is similar to a potato soup but it's better for you.

7. Honey Sriracha Meatballs

Spice things up a bit with these delicious meatballs. The honey balances out the spiciness of the Sriracha.

8. Roasted Vegetables and Chicken

Substitute your favorite veggies. Drizzle with olive oil and some seasoning.

9. Chicken Pad Thai

Pad Thai is a very tasty dish! If you get tired of chicken you can always make it with pork, beef, or seafood.

10. Cilantro Lime Chicken with Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is the healthier option, but this dish is also great with white rice or jasmine rice.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
