If today is the first time you are visiting the blog this week, this week’s posts are 5 recipes made from 9 ingredients. Each of the 9 ingredients are used at least twice (at least the chicken). These ingredients are the ones I find the most in my refrigerator and I wanted to only have to prep one day on the weekend, which in turn would only make my prep time during the wee 2-15 minutes.
Here are the nine ingredients and measurements for the 5 recipes this week:
1 Large Sweet potato
3 Cups Uncooked Quinoa (we will be making it two ways!)
1 Bunch of Dinosaur Kale
1 1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
6 TBSP Parmesan Cheese
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Package Raspberries
1 1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
