When the goal is to simply get healthy lunch and dinner on the table, it’s not a bad idea to stick with routine and habit. Routine makes it much easier to develop the habit of meal preparation.<br /><br />Meal preparation has become quintessential ever since <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">salad-bowl meals</a> (e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/asparagus-chicken-with-turmeric-dressing.html">Asparagus, Chicken and Potato Bowl</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">Mushrooms Broccoli and Green Bean Bowl</a>) became house meals in my family. It is not extremely difficult; but a dedicated preparation will get us there, sooner and better.<br /><br />The prep. work on Sunday, before the new week begins includes boiling and peeling a batch of eggs so that hard-boiled eggs are ready-to-use for the week; slicing broccoli and cauliflower into florets; dicing carrots, for example, so that these vegetables can be conveniently used for cooking during the work week.<br /><br />Take this bowl, for example. It may seem an easily assembled meals but meal prep includes:<br /><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3706/32781914331_4ac9f0e3dc_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><b>Asparagus, Cauliflower, Chicken, Quinoa Bowl 蔬菜红薯鸡块藜麦主食沙拉</b><br />(1) Cook a batch of quinoa (about six servings)<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2906/32865260706_e82209e466_z.jpg" /><br /><br />(2) Poach 2-3 chicken breasts (or use leftover rotisserie chicken)<br />(3) Boil 10 hard-boiled eggs, one egg per person per meal (serves two each meal, for five meals)<br /><br />When it is meal time, reheat the cooked quinoa and chicken; and steam the vegetables.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2359/32781913631_999df036ac_z.jpg" /><br /><br />This is also a healthy and nutritious post-workout meal balanced with lean protein, fiber, whole grains, good fats; and powered by antioxidants and phytonutrients.<br /><br />Moving forward, I will be sharing more of such meals and meal ideas.
