Quick Proteins
We’re not overthinking our protein goals ladies!
This chicken does MILES in my kitchen. There is no bad flavor or use—this one is great for enchiladas, tacos, bowls, and the teriyaki makes great fried rice or stir fry.
Kevin's Cilantro Lime Chicken - 16oz
Chicken sausage is great. Fully cooked, freezes well, fills in anywhere. This flavor specifically is great for a quick pasta.
Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites - Frozen - 24oz
Saucing 🥫
A good sauce does heavy lifting. A great sauce also gives me nutrition!
The golf standard all jarred marinara should be compared to IMO! Obviously works great plain with pasta, but I often mix in a ground turkey to make a meat sauce, pour some in to punch up soups, use it as a pizza sauce, the options are endless!
Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce Premium Quality All Natural Tomato Sauce & Pasta Sauce Keto Friendly & Carb Conscious - 24oz
You could make your own but why bother when Siete’s is so good? The green is excellent too. Pro tip: this sauce + the cilantro lime Kevin’s chicken makes some great enchiladas!
Red Enchilada Sauce
This sauce could make anything taste good. Probably my most-purchased condiment after ketchup. Great on sandwiches, mixed with a pinch or water and drizzled anywhere, as a dipping sauce, etc.
Kikkoman Sriracha Mayo, 8.5 Ounce ( Pack of 2 )
“Call me crazy but I don’t like store bought pesto” ….except this one. Great flavor, no weird texture. I use pesto as more than just a pasta sauce: mix into some mayo on a sandwich or top soup with it for extra herby goodness.
Classico Signature Recipes Traditional Basil Pesto - 8.1oz
This probably doesn’t need to be on a list because it’s everywhere, but I really do love this olive oil.

Need a good side, can’t be bothered to make from scratch.
HEAR ME OUT. Not only is Annie’s mac and specifically this flavor elite, I once read about someone using plain Greek yogurt instead of milk in the mix and have done it ever since. You get great creaminess, a tang to balance out the richness and extra...
Annie's Shells & Real Aged Cheddar Mac and Cheese - 6oz
Trust me, these are awesome. I like to add in some frozen or quickly diced veggies and cook these until crispy. Melt cheese on top if I’m feeling crazy!
Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, 20 oz Bag (Refrigerated)
Birds eye vegetables over EVERTHING. These, among other varieties, have saved so many dinners. The sauced ones tend to be really good and a solid enough texture to stand up on their own as a side. I tend to keep a few flavor varieties at all times in...
Birds Eye Frozen Stir-Fry Veggies and Sauce Teriyaki - 15oz
