Eat with rice. I have a rice cooker to make rice ahead. Can also do burrito bowls with leftover rotisserie chicken, beans, avocado, etc. |

Lean into the frozen section. There are lots of meals are precooked (Chinese, pasta, fajitas, etc.) that you just reheat in a skillet chicken patties, grilled chicken strips, fish sticks are all frozen foods you can keep on hand. Add a frozen/canned vegetable, maybe vegetable soup, and you’ve got a meal. You can round it out with garlic toast, Hawaiian rolls, microwave quesadillas, etc. and some fruit If you’re up to a little more effort, the Knorr packages are great. Chicken/Creamy Chicken and rice packet, add a can of chicken, a can of mushrooms (drained). Serve with a vegetable. Cheddar Broccoli rice packet, a can of chicken, and frozen broccoli Butter and herb noodle packets with a can of tuna (drained) and frozen sugar snap peas Keep an assortment of individual frozen dinners, canned soups/stews/chillis, and sandwich components on hand |
| Rotisserie chicken, frozen veg and rolls |
Oh, YUM. That salad sounds great! |
| Cold sesame noodles are great for warmer months. You only need to cook noodles; while they're cooking, stir together the sauce and slice some veggies (or use pre shredded carrots/ whatever's easiest), toss together, serve at room temperature. |

I am doing a modified PBWF diet. I am precooking a lot of my meals so that I can warm and assemble in a hurry.
I normally eat - - cooked sweet potatoes, chickpeas, chopped spinach, lemon juice and chaat masala. - pan fried brocolli, cauliflower, mushrooms with raw cucumber, tomatos, tajin salt - Zoodles with mazzetta sauce, pinenuts, garlic. - Huge batch of tomato soup. For folks doing Keto diet - - yogurt - cheese sticks - hummus with veggies - boiled eggs Normally, I can take any commercial bowl or pasta dish and then load it up with as many grilled or sauted veggis, nuts and seeds, seasoning that I can. My aim is to double the quantity of the commercially bought bowl by adding salad, veggies, corn, nuts, seeds, some cheese and spices in it. |
| Make a big batch of quinoa and a batch of oatmeal. Customize whatever you want in it. As snack or meal. |
I have been wanting to try Poke bowls at home, so thanks for this reminder/ tip. I have been wondering where to get sashimi grade fish. What is H mart? |
It’s a Korean supermarket with a great variety of produce and products for the Asian market. They have them in many metro areas. You can also use smoked salmon or cooked shrimp or tuna fish. |
