Paralyzed by choice 😭😭

If only.
If only.

I need to start meal prepping. Yes, this early, I want to make sure I pace myself so I don’t wear myself out - my battery drains real fast right now. I’m aiming to put up 4 portions of 3 meals, for a total of 12 meals… I don’t need to put up for the entire recovery, my family does know how to cook to my diet, but I want to have some convenience comfort meals ready anyway.


If you follow my other blog, you know that I can’t eat dairy, egg, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, or tomatoes. You may think this limits my diet, but if you follow my other blog, you know that I eat Very Well.


I’m also thinking about the nutrient content of the meals, and making sure they have lots of ingredients high in things to help me recover, like iron and calcium. Not too hard, the way I eat.


So, let’s play a game. Pick 3:


  • Smoky pinto beans & cornbread

  • Cajun-style red beans & rice

  • Lentil ā€œmeatā€ loaf with a baked potato

  • Mujaddara with lentils, rice, & caramelized onions and a side salad

  • ā€œBuddha Bowlā€ with rice, grains, beans, and roasted veggies.

  • Coconut curry chicken & spinach over rice

  • Marinated chicken in the cast iron skillet w/ cornbread stuffing

  • Kofta kebabs with a rice pilaf

  • Sardine & white bean croquettes with a side salad


You see my dilemma.



Seriously, comment your 3 below, I need advice here.
