making it easier
Jen,
If you do have to eat out, I think an acceptable substitute is “Double
whopper, lettuce, tomato, onion, only, no cheese and no bun”. They usually
package it in a little box and give you plastic silverware. I think of it as
a hamburger salad! Also, I think the precook, prepare ahead, think
leftovers, etc., thing is the only way to go. Get yourself a big bag of
chicken parts, freeze them in individual portions, already in the marinade,
then when you want to eat, if you thought ahead to thaw it, you can just cook
at 350 for about 30 minutes, or peel it out of the bag and nuke it frozen.
Let me know if you want some marinade ideas.
I devil a dozen hard boiled eggs at a time and eat two every morning for
breakfast. Thinly sliced rib eye steaks, or minute steaks “fry” up in
minutes. Cook twice the veggies, peas, broccoli, asparagus, whatever and eat
the first portion hot and then the cold for the next meal.
We have definitely become a society of grab and go eaters, and it can be done!
