Go bachelor style. Buy a George Foreman grill. Nearly instant lean grilled meat, plus a green salad is a go to around my house.

I know I am late to the game but I made Cajun 15 bean soup with chicken sausage. It comes in a bag in the dry beans section. I soak them overnight and brown the sausage with chopped onions in a pan. Then throw it all in the crock pot to cook for the day. Or if I am home working then I just cook it on the stove per the instructions.

I find bean soup is so easy and high protein you can really throw anything in them from veggies to meats depending on preference. Serve over rice, couscous or with just some garlic bread corn bread etc.

Then because it makes so much this week I am using the leftovers mixing it with ground turkey and marinara and making zuccini boats.

Like you I have a packed schedule. It helps that I work from home but every Friday I make a meal plan for the next week and go shopping Sunday or Monday and try to do carryovers so like if we are having quinoa I try to make sure we have it 2x and make the whole amount the first day so it's avail and ready for lunches and tr other dinner later in the week.

And no. I don't always stick to it. Sometimes I don't want to cook so we either go out or get takeout

Stuffed peppers!
