Anyone have any good suggestions? I have slight issues getting out of bed in the morning to make my lunch and I need to stop buying at work for my waist and my wallets sake. Leftovers aren't really an option (my husband usually takes tgose)

    Make full dishes like soup, stew, chili, curry, stuffed peppers and freeze in individual portions. Grab whatever you want that morning and go!

    I have to do all my meal prepping on the weekend. It's a lot easier said than done but so worth it! One of my favorites is stir fry - quick and easy with tons of veggies. I also am making more wraps now. Sometimes I need a break from salads. I just grill some chicken, bell peppers, onion and seasonings. I put all that in a wrap with avocado, salsa and lettuce. I typically boil a dozed eggs on Sundays to have hard boiled eggs through the week too and I load them with Tapatio.

    I have been doing meal prep for 2 weeks and LOVE this Southwest Turkey Stuffed Peppers recipe for lunch http://www.peanutbutterandfitness.com/2014/08/southwest-turkey-stuffed-peppers-and.html . I use brown rice instead of quinoa. They reheat wonderfully and moist because the peppers basically steam in the chicken broth and then release the broth again when you reheat it. I cut up the peppers into small pieces after reheating and mix it with the stuffing and it's a HUGE amount of food. So good!
