Beginning meal prep!

I've finally found a few moments to start getting my life together. My first move. Meal prep. With working full time and driving about 3 hours round trip, the last thing I want to do is cook when I get home.

During my day off today I made some quick easy food so that I can come home and have food ready. Instead of stopping at McDonald's every night because they are the only thing open.

Here is what I have waiting for me for the next two days. A side of fresh raspberries. The main course is a little more complex, but still very easy, and affordable to boot!

First I made a batch of rice, roughly 1 cup total. (Before cooking ) I layered that at the bottom of my container after it had cooled. Then I cooked up some chicken in coconut oil. I used tenderloins because they were on sale and easy, you could use whatever you like. I'm sure shredded rotisserie chicken would be great here too. Then I drained and rinsed some canned corn. Again, it wad on sale, use whatever veggie you prefer. I did the same with a can of black beans.

That's it. Super simple but a fairly well rounded meal.

A step in the right direction

Whelp, work has dumped hours on me and I haven't done much the past week outside of sleeping and working. So now that the location is open, I can get back to caring for myself. That means re-banning myself from fast food. And of course get back to excersie.

Today, I was able to wake up and make myself something simple. Even better, it didn't cost me much.

Pardon my poor images, it's real food though. Haha.

So here I have a waffle, some turkey sausage, and an egg.

Total cost for this breakfast, about 50 cents. It was filling and full of protien. And butter, but that's just a personal preference.
