Hungry Hungry Hippie

I have a formula that I use to make dinners in as little time as possible, but it relies on food prep.  I always prep ahead of time.  Have I convinced you to do the same yet?  I feel like a broken record, but the posts that seem the most basic and obvious to me still get the most follow up questions.

So.  About that “formula.”

Carb: usually a whole grain like quinoa or rice, but sometimes I opt for noodles, and sometimes I just turn to bread

Fat: avocado, nut, oil, something

Green: veggie of any sort, but spinach and kale are my faves

Protein: seitan and tofu are my #1 and #2, tempeh is the often overlooked step child, and then I have the freezer supply (think veggie burgers) or the pantry (think canned beans)

Put them all together, and BAM!

A meal in minutes.  Sometimes less.

That’s why you MUST MUST MUST keep your fridge tupperware ready.
