Eggs, spinach, onions & garlic: preheat a cast-iron skillet to low while pre-heating your oven to 325 degrees. Spray lightly with olive oil and add a generous amount of spinach, onions, and a shake of garlic, pepper, and salt. When spinach has just begun to wilt, crack three eggs into the pan and turn the heat to medium; cook until egg whites have turned white, then transfer to the oven for 5 minutes, or until eggs are completely set. Your end result will look like this:
Well, if you choose to serve it with marinara sauce, anyway ;-) I stole this idea from Vanessa at Gourmet Runner!
Shrimp and bell peppers cooked in olive oil and herbs
Grilled chicken, brussels sprouts, and a side of dressing
Sweet Italian chicken sausage & string cheese with greens
Two eggs and one egg white, scrambled with spinach and bell peppers, topped with string cheese...and a side of Max attempting a photobomb. :P
What are your go-to work meals?
Your eats look DELISH! When I was working at the front desk at a gym my go-to eats were usually soup or egg sandwiches on an english muffin :)
ReplyDeleteMMmm I love soup!!! Now that we're visiting Mass it's cool enough for soup too - love! :D
DeleteThat egg dish looks really yummy
ReplyDeleteIt was seriously awesome! My fave meal of the week :D
Deletei love runny eggs! sometimes i bake them on top of mushrooms and tomato paste to mimic pizza! my go to high-protein meals at work usually involve chicken breast and veggies since i hate to smell up the office with fish ... that doesn't mean i don't on occasion, though!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I'm trying that when we get home!!!
DeleteYum! I know who's lunchbox to steal haha your eats look awesome! :)
ReplyDelete:D Thanks Alexandra!!
DeleteI'm always on the lookout for more meals with plenty of protein - thanks for this post! :)
ReplyDeleteNo problemo!! :D
DeleteCould you post more high protien meals? I am really changing my diet around to incorporate a very high protien
ReplyDelete(research based for other purposes) but I need more ideas. Your blog is like crawling with them! (Insert blog stalk now ;))
I love anything and everything eggs.
Absolutely!! :D I'm on vacation this week but I'll definitely get another post up early next week =)
DeleteHaha Rob always photobombs my food pictures!! For the past few weeks I've just been cooking up a big batch of ground turkey with marinara sauce and eating it for all meals at work. It takes me about 30 seconds to eat so it's good when I need to eat quickly!
ReplyDeleteI just started eating turkey this week thanks to your suggestion...was it last week? haha. It's a good switch-up! I also found white meat turkey franks which are super convenient :)
DeleteI do a rif on your spinach. Spinach, hard boiled egg (cut up_, goat cheese, onion, and my pepper mix which is basically minced peppers mix (marinated jalapenos and pepperoncini, green olives,capers, onion, dijon and anchovy paste - I make and jar this ahead for the week) I dump it into tupperware and then shake it all together right before eating. SO good.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked I ate lots of leftovers.
Ever roasted your brussels? Yum. I roast them and then dump some balsamic on them.
Oh geez that boiled egg concoction sounds delish!!
DeleteI do roast brussels occasionally. I'm a weirdo and I really, really like them, so sometimes I steam them so I get more of the brussels sprout flavor. I know, I'm disgusting lol!
If by disgusting you mean magnificent, then yes, I agree.
DeleteLove the quick easy healthiness of that first meal! I tend to pack salads for lunch, because all it involves is putting lettuce in a bowl and then dumping whatever else I can find in my fridge on top. That's really all the time/mental power I'm going to exert in the morning ;) Happy WIAW!
ReplyDeleteYup!! That's why I love salads for work lunches!!
DeleteLooks good! I make something similar to your egg/spinach concoction...a frittata with broccoli and onions. I also bring a "Mexican" salad to work: chicken, romaine, sweet potato (or beans), guacamole, and salsa. MMM!
ReplyDeleteYum!! I have like a pound of broccoli I need to use - I think I'll make a frittata with it :D
Deletethose look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! :D
DeleteGlad you made that egg/spinach dish! So easy and so good! Your shrimp and bell peppers look incredible too.
ReplyDeleteIt was my fave meal of the whole week lol! I loved it!
DeleteLove your food! I eat very similar so I wonder do you eat Keto, because all those foods seem low carb? And if it’s so how does it affect your workouts?
ReplyDeleteI just take some fruit and nuts to work. My breaks are very short so those work well.
xo.
I was in keto for a while but I got out because it was really affecting my workouts =( I do still eat pretty low-carb and I time my carb intake... all carbs are around workouts. As long as I eat some fruit about an hour before I workout I have enough energy to at least maintain my strength =)
DeleteThat last egg scramble looks delicious! I love anything topped with cheese. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen I have to pack food for classes/work, I tend to pack turkey sandwiches, a cold veggie burger with sweet potato and roasted broccoli, or grain salads with veggies and beans.
Me tooooo :D I am a cheese fiend haha.
DeleteI love veggie burgers!! They are seriously better than the real thing.
yow-zaaa!!! all of these meals looke fab. I need to eat each and every one of 'em. Will be trying ALL of this stuff fo sho.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a veggie burger but I think I am going to look for them at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteYum! All your food looks fresh and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of eggs and spinach!!!
easy meals! eggs are so versitile! I have them for at least one of my meals everyday!
ReplyDeleteI'm spoiled right now in that I live so close to work and school that I can easily come home and make whatever I want to eat. I'm sure it won't be that way forever though so I'm enjoying it while I can!
