Rice bowl for lunch!

I’ve been trying to meal prep and have tasty food readily available when hunger strikes! With my hectic work schedule, rice bowls are an easy win. So flexible in terms of what’s possible. This week the menu was:

Roasted chicken

Kimchi fried rice: BJ’s!

Cucumber salad: cucumbers, red onions, feta cheese, garlic, capers, olive oil, balsamic vinegar

I’ve included a couple slides with the ingredients for the salad. Will be posting each week to keep myself honest and on track.

... Read moreMeal prepping doesn’t have to be boring or time-consuming. Rice bowls offer endless possibilities for customization, making them an ideal choice for busy individuals. You can easily mix and match proteins, grains, and vegetables to suit your taste. For instance, substitute quinoa or brown rice for a nutritional boost. Incorporating seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini can enhance flavor and visual appeal. To make your meal prep even more efficient, consider batch-cooking rice and proteins at the beginning of the week and storing them in airtight containers. Adding sauces or dressings just before eating can keep your meals fresh. Also, don’t hesitate to explore regional and global cuisines; for example, add some teriyaki sauce for an Asian-inspired bowl or a zesty chimichurri for a South American twist. Lastly, keeping a variety of garnishes on hand, such as sesame seeds, chopped herbs, or nuts, can elevate your rice bowls and make each meal feel unique. Happy meal prepping and enjoy crafting your perfect rice bowl!
