    For fall and winter, I have one great habit I do. I look up soup recipes and I make a different one every weekend. Then I freeze the majority for lunches. Pair with a salad or some veggies, lunch is done! For instance right now in my freezer I still have remains from the spring. Kale and sausage soup, Cabbage meatball, and Paleo Spinach artichoke.

    I also use a lot of dinner leftovers, I intentionally make more than I need. If you need inspiration Pinterest is the place to be!

    I made this for dinner tonight, and it was fabulous. It was simple, and the crock pot did all the work for me. http://myfavoritethings-miranda.blogspot.com/2012/04/easy-slow-cooker-split-pea-and-ham-soup.html?m=1. I added extra celery and carrots.

    It is also full of veggies and ham, so low carb and super filling. 1 cup is about 200 calories. I am taking it for lunch tomorrow.

    I like to mix up one of the Starkist tuna creations tuna pouches (I like garlic & herb) with some broccoli florets or asparagus and nuke it for a few minutes (I just use the "reheat" selection on my microwave.) It's super yummy!! If you use the low carb wraps those are great filled with turkey, cheese and veggies.

    Those that like omelets check out the south beach veggie quiche cups to go recipe. I make those and freeze them and they are great. I use Southwest flavor egg beaters, green pepper, onion and fresh baby spinach and some mexican cheese and bake it in muffin tins.
