As you know, I tend to focus more on food prepping ingredients during my food prep sessions and then assembling them into quick meals during the week. Some of these use recipes that are on my blog and some are so simple they don&#8217;t really require a recipe. So, I rounded up 15 or so of the photos I&#8217;ve snapped of our dinner plates over the past few months so I could share them with you guys all in one place.<\/p>\n<p>For each photo I tried to do three things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tell you what it is<\/li>\n<li>Tell you what you can prep ahead of time<\/li>\n<li>Tell you how to combine what you prepped with a few other simple steps to make a quick dinner when you&#8217;re ready to eat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s no right or wrong way to make these. You could make simple swaps with different kinds of meat or vegetarian proteins based on your preferences or swap in different fruits, vegetables or grains than what&#8217;s pictured. My hope is you&#8217;ll just use these as a guide to spark some ideas!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Meatball Subs\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Meatball Subs<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nPrep: Bake meatballs.
