How come you have two carbs for each meal? I’ve never seen that before. |

| Blender protein pancakes plus fruit or fruit smoothie—each pancake is 1 egg, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup oats (or AP flour if you want),1/4 teaspoon baking powder, splash of vanilla. If you use oats I like to add cinnamon. |

I’m the PP-my basic dinner formula is meat/poultry/seafood, vegetable, starch, and a small bit of bread for the kids. The breakfast meal is an exception to that rule. Are you asking because of the bread? |

| I go to the grocery store and get a rotisserie chicken, a bag of salad, another container of plain greens (or whatever veg my kids will actually eat - snap peas, baby carrots, etc), and a loaf of crusty bread. Sometimes I'll also grab a hunk of brie. My kids LOVE this and say it's one of their favorite meals. I also do this exact same meal when I've committed to a Meal Train and have run out of time to actually make a meal.... |

Forgot to add that I do the extra container of plain greens for DH and I to mix with the bagged salad (always has so much extra dressing) or to make a plain EVOO/Vin dressing for the kids. Other favorite no-brainer meals: Bean and cheese quesadillas or tacos. I try to keep tortillas and cheese in the freezer and buy 2 cans of black beans every time I go to the grocery store. Pasta + Rao's sauce Sausage/Veg bake - throw cut up veggies plus sausage (pre-cooked, uncooked, whatever, but we prefer brats) on a sheet pan and toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika. roast at 425-450 until browned to the level you like. Serve with crusty bread, couscous, or nothing. Uses up whatever random veg I have in the fridge. If I really don't want to deal, I pick up pre-cut veg at the grocery store and use that. Note that this is more time-intensive than the other ideas, but it's something my non-cooking husband can easily make without any direction from me. |

| Tteokbokki with ground pork and broccolini. Make a quick sauce with hoisin, gochujang, and tahini. Takes about 20 mins or less from start to finish. So tasty. |
