Busy Bee Health

This one is a Busy Bee Favourite. Kimchi is easy to make and delicious. It'll also keep about a week and it's an incredibly healthy snack or side dish. The health benefits are plenty (as with all fermented food). The most important of them are: healthy bacteria that'll help your gut (especially digestion) and vitamin overload. Kimchi has a ridiculous amount of vitamins such as C and A. It also has fiber and useful minerals. In the Busy-Bee version you only need a few ingredients. Chinese Cabbage Salt Sriracha Garlic cloves Onion (white) Fish Sauce Red Pepper Flakes 2 Radishes 3 Carrots 1. The first thing you do is to cut the cabbages into bite-sized pieces (or however you want them). While you cut you can (not a must) put the already-cut pieces into a bowl with cold water to make them open up for the salt in the second step. 2. The second thing you do is to salt the cabbage pieces. You want the water out. Put the cabbage pieces into an enormous bowl (...

It's been two weeks since the last meal prep was posted so let's dive right in. The reason I didn't post last week is simple. I made the same food as the week before - and a little bit less of it all because we were still eating those (frozen) boxes from the week before then. All right. Here is this week's shopping bounty: As you can see it's a lot of the 'regular' stuff (staples) but with some variety (a lot of mushrooms and a bit of cheese). The breakdown is as follows: Vegetables: carrots, cabbage, parsley, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, red onions, spinach, paprika, cucumber, zucchini, various mushrooms Proteins: minced meat (500g used) and two pork schnitzel as well as six pieces of cod (four frozen and two fresh). Also: brown lentils (about 150g). Carbohydrates (non-vegetables): a 75g bag of quinoa and about 200g of brown rice (not pictured). Three handfuls of whole wheat penne. About 200g of whole wheat flour to ma...

It's Monday again! I had a lot of fun doing meal prep yesterday... so without much ado let's start. Here are the ingredients: We have: Vegetables : coleslaw (pictures but unused), celery sticks, green beans, spinach, paprika, broccoli, carrots, green onions, pumpkin, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and 2 cans of corn. Proteins : 2 pieces of salmon (150g each), 4 pieces of codfish (100g each), 500g chicken mince, 500g mixed pork/beef mince, 500g marinated chicken (teriyaki marinade). We also have: 2 cans of beans Carbohydrates : rice and quinoa What is not pictured : pureed tomato (I forgot. This is such a staple in almost every quick and healthy food I often forget to put it on pictures...) And here is the food these ingredients made: The foods from top left to - wait hold on this doesn't make sense - let's just start with the soup pot. The soup is a chicken pot pie soup with lots of veggies (4 portions). To the r...

It's Monday! Let's get started with a quick overview of what yesterday's meal prep looked like! An explanation first: I have more time in the weekend (and more help) then during the week. This means Sunday it's meal prep day at my house. We usually start about 16:00 and are done by 18:00 - 18:30. This means two hours of cooking and we'll have food for the rest of the week. How easy and simple can it get! I'm going to show you part of my haul of groceries (unfortunately the rest didn't fit this time but I promise to make it fit the next!): As you can see there's a bit of minced meat (both chick and mixed pork/beef) and some fish (the brownish thing in the top middle). These are almost all the animal proteins we used. I also added plant protein in the form of red lentils (not shown on this picture) to one dish. The rest are all the vegetables (minus one hiding cauliflower that I couldn't find at the time). All that's missing here are ...
