[quote=Anonymous]I bulk-prep a large grain/bean/veggie bowl on Sunday, and heat up a portion of it each day.

Some of my current favorites:
1 cup cooked quinoa, 1 can chickpeas, 1 can red kidney beans, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives, big bunch of arugula, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 cup chopped parsley.  In a separate container, 1 diced cucumber, 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup crumbled feta.  Each day, heat a portion of the grain mixture, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and add a portion of the cucumber/veggie.

Cabbage soup - 2 pieces diced bacon, one diced onion, 1 inch knob of ginger (grated), 1 pint sliced mushrooms, 2 cans white beans, 1 whole head of green or Napa cabbage (diced), 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, juice from 1 whole lemon, 1 cup cooked brown rice,  chicken broth..

Loaded potato - 2 pieces diced bacon, 3 leeks (white part only, chopped), 1 head broccoli florets, 3 large white potatoes (diced), 1 can black beans, chicken broth. Also good with cauliflower instead of potato, or you can some cooked ground chicken for more protein. Heat a portion, then sprinkle on some shredded cheese. [/quote]
