This coming week has a lot of moving parts. To make things run smoothly I am doing some meal prepping. I generally like to cook things when want them and I have that luxury when I am working from home but this week I am returning to the recovery center to cook for their clients. Guest chef! I am really excited about it! It was a job that always filled me with a sense of purpose. That being said, when I cook all day for others I generally don’t want to come home and cook for myself. Resulting in a situation where I am taking care of others more than myself and that’s no bueno. So, prepping. I don’t make any specific dishes when I meal prep, because I am moody and my not want those things later.. then opt for take out noodles, also no bueno as I already invested in healthy food at home. Instead I create more of a Lego situation. Meaning I roast off a large selection of veggies, steam grains, make an herby sauce, boil potatoes and eggs and maybe make a pasta sauce to have on hand and then I just snap it all together based on whatever I am craving later. Without instructions. Some may see this as chaos. Fair-ish. Allow me to make my case! I like to listen to my body because it informs me as to what I should eat and again, it give me a chance to exercise my creativity on the plate. Plus, there are a lot of things that can be made from these items. Big salads, colorful stir fries, Franken-Pasta, etc. No sweat involved.

Day 124: Roasted sweet potato, sautéed kale, spinach and scallions, avocado, 6 minute egg + a Turmeric and ginger yogurt sauce that went great with the sweetness of the potatoes and the bitterness of the greens.
