I'm looking for something healthy enough I can whip up on the worst days.

And sorry if this has been asked before. I'm struggling with the search function, haha.

Breakfast:
Simple: Scrambled eggs on a tortilla and in a burrito
Something More:

  • Greek Yogurt, similar enough to sour cream but healthier
  • Shredded cheese
  • Spinach
  • Can add a little milk or flour to the eggs and whisk it all together before adding it to the pan to make the eggs fluffier
  • Plenty of spices can be added on top of salt and pepper to give it even more flavor

Lunch and Dinner:
Simple: Penne pasta, spinach, some form of cubed or ground meat, alfredo sauce
Something More:

  • Squash (Green, Yellow, Mexican - all good)
  • Broccoli (I sometimes like to steam them in a separate pot, though you can grill them in the same pan)
  • Mushrooms (lionsmane and shitake have some good health benefits)
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Shredded cheese
  • Can save some if the water you boil the pasta in to add to the final product after, apparently this adds more flavor though in all honesty, I've tried this a few times and it's adding a few extra steps with no payoff

Both of these can utilize a lot of the same ingredients, making meal prep easy. I like having big containers containing everythjng already cooked, and then I can just add to the same container day after day. Less dishes overall, and just takes the one day of cooking a bit to make the rest if the week super easy.
