    Avocados, tomatoes, shrimp, beans, corn on a salad with light ranch!

    Whole wheat English muffin with egg whites, turkey bacon, tomatoes, cheese of your choice...

    Greek yogurt 0%, with berries, apples, and cinnamon.

    Hmm what else. Idk. Just quick thoughts.

    The groceries that changed my nutritional life for the better:

    Black beans (in the bag, dried. Must soak overnight, then boil for an hour and then store it in the fridge and use in your meals throughout the week!)

    Pinto beans (same deal)

    Lentils (buy in the bag, then boil 20 minutes, and add to anything! I love eggs + lentils + salsa)

    My post-workout smoothie: cup soy milk +banana + 1/2 fuji apple + 5 strawberries + cup frozen peaches + cup chopped kale + tbsp ground flax seed + 2tbsp peanut butter = 3-4 servings!

    Miso catfish - literally takes 10 minutes and its amazing

    Moroccan Chickpea soup - Takes a bit of time but it makes a ton and its cheap. You can use canned or dried chickpeas

    Beyond that my go to easy food is stir fry with a bit of chicken (not a lot), and tons of fresh veggies made in a wok I have. If I cut the veggies during the weekend this is a snap and takes only 10 minutes. Typically I make a quick stir fry sauce with shiro miso, rice vinegar, minced ginger and some low sodium chicken or vegetable broth.

    Salmon, salmon, and more salmon seems to work well for me. I have also developed a love affair of late with Brussels sprouts and lima beans. My 10 year old son thinks I'm crazy.

    Try Gina's (Skinnytaste.com) Slow Cooker Lasagna was great and also the 3 Bean Chili was terrific as well.

    I've got a killer crock pot Black Bean Chicken Chili recipe somewhere. I'll try and find it and send it to you. Hope you like Jalapenos.
