I'm going to cook up 5-8 cups of brown rice. It is so easy to cook in a large batch. You can save it in a large container, individual containers or whatever your heart desires. I make it with salt, pepper and broth to have a neutral, yet tasteful side dish. I will also bake up some yams for later in the week, and store them in the fridge till I need them. Baking up some chicken breast and a london broil for strips, is an easy way to have ready to go protein for salads or meals through out the week.
Chopping carrots, celery, peppers and other veggies into baggies or tupper ware makes cooking so much faster.
This week, I'm trying to use my meat reserves that we get through Jeff's work, Madison Taylor Entrees. I have lots of delicious portioned-ready to cook meat and fish. The steak is cooked from frozen and the other meats can defrost in the fridge throughout the day. I usually love my crock pot meals, which I prep will I cook the rice and chop veggies. I am going to start planning next weeks crock pot meals.
What are your favorite recipes for the crock pot or easy/quick healthy meals?
