Healthy meal planning is definitely a cumbersome task that requires a lot of planning and execution, from marketing the ingredients to scheduling meals and cooking. For the single working person (or even two working adults), the effort hardly seems worth it and it’s much easier to resort to food delivery or eating out. But there is a kind of comfort in knowing where and how your meals were made, as well as the luxury of dining leisurely at home by yourself or over great conversation with a partner.
Below are some meal ideas (from our kitchen to yours) that follow a simple combination of proteins, grains, and vegetables in pre-set plated portions. Enjoy!
