Important to Time Block & Begin with the Longest Cooking Times First (such as whole chicken in the oven if you are baking or soaking beans)

          Inexpensive & a Fantastic Protein

          • Quinoa

              If they need to be chopped then chop as well & have ready for use

              Extras/Leftovers

              What can you pack & freeze to mix in or have for another meal such as a smaller portion for lunch (such as leftover soups, veggie chilis ~ this is great to place in the freezer and pull out for a lunch ~ I do this myself with veggie chili
