Hey Reader,
I hope you are having a fantastic February. My son turned six this month during the Chinese New Year. Amid the busy holiday and work, the month chaotically passes without me noticing. Let's end it properly with nourishing meals, recipes, and meal prep tips.
I've crafted a full day's worth of meals—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a delightful dark pink snack—so you can enjoy nutritious options all day long. Feel free to choose your favorites for any time of the week!
Potato Salmon Hash
Diced potatoes, salmon, capers, green onions, and lemon are featured in this hearty, high-protein breakfast, which takes around 30 minutes to prepare. Once you prepare it, you can eat it again the next day for breakfast.

Meal Prep Tip: Prepare potatoes and salmon ahead of time (I sous vide). This will effectively reduce the time it takes to make this potato salmon hash to 5 minutes. You can also serve the potatoes and salmon separately in other meals throughout the week. As stated in my recipe, you can also use canned salmon.

Cilantro-Lime Chicken Salad
This vibrant salad features tender chicken slices atop a refreshing mix of crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and crunchy cucumber. Drizzled with a smooth cilantro yogurt dressing, it perfectly balances flavors and textures, making it a delightful light lunch.

Meal Prep Tip: You know me–I'm all about prepping ahead. If you meal prep with sous vide, this is a perfect chicken meal to add to my sous vide chicken breast meal prep selection. For a traditional cooking method, it takes about 8-10 minutes to cook a chicken breast on a hot grill. Find the recipe below.

Need a snack in the afternoon? Try this not-so-typical smoothie to boost your energy.
Cowboy Pie
Browned chicken sausages simmer with tender carrots and white beans in a flavorful sauce of onions, garlic, and smoked spices. Topped with creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheddar, this dish is guaranteed to be a family favorite.

Meal Prep Tips: Prepare mashed potatoes ahead of time. Add cottage cheese for a creamier texture and protein boost. You can also enjoy this pie for lunch the next day.
In addition, I recently rewrote a cooking guide on how to make and store homemade broth. I thought you might find it helpful. With properly stored nutrient-dense homemade broth, you can achieve excellent flavors in many dishes, such as this Chicken Mushroom Risotto, a classic Italian dish made easy.
I hope you enjoy this roundup. Have a wonderful week. And I'll be back with new recipes soon.
Cheers,
