My 3 "Cooking For One" Tips:
1. Individually freeze your protein. It's a lot easier to pull out one piece of chicken in the morning to defrost than it is to defrost a whole pack and figure out what do with it all!2. Have quick and healthy sides on hand, like brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta.
3. Include a veggie with your meal every night! Frozen veggies, a salad, grilled veggies - whatever!
1. Marinated grilled chicken (marinade = EVOO, balsamic vinegar, garlic, fresh herbs)
2. Brown rice w/ a dash of salt and pepper
3. Zucchini spears - drizzled with EVOO, garlic salt and then grilled
1. Burger, pre-made and frozen with local grass-fed beef - topped with a slice of cheese and some guac
2. Ian's Natural Sweet Potato Fries
3. Grilled head of romaine lettuce w/ a little feta (cut a head of romaine in half, drizzle with EVOO, grill!)
1. Tilapia - seasoning sprinkled on top, then panko crumbs - baked in the oven
2. Whole Wheat angle hair pasta tossed with some pesto
3. Sauteed asparagus
The "Splurge" Dinner!
1. Taco meat, made using another portion of the beef I used in my burger
2. Organic blue corn chips
3. The veggies in this one came courtesy of a half cup serving of homemade salsa!
4. The extras: Cabot cheese, shredded at home, Wholly Guacamole, sour cream
