Once upon a time, clothes and accessories overwhelmed me. I didn’t want to think about what I looked like, so I kept my clothing simple: One pair of slacks in 3-4 colors, 3-4 blouses in 3-4 colors, and a suit. Mix and match as needed.
This is also my approach to food.
I know meal planning is a thing, and I don’t hate it! I just cannot do it. With 6 people in my home and limited space, plans go up in flames so often I barely make any. At the same time, with Celiac and diabetes I have to make sure I have something in hand at all times that I can safely eat.
It isn’t glamorous, and it isn’t super fun, but it IS super easy. 3-2-1, mix and match as needed. Three vegetables, two proteins, one starch.
This week, my vegetables are from Costco’s frozen aisle: squash, asparagus and broccoli. Because I’ve been on an Eastern European kick, I also have fresh tomatoes and cucumbers on hand that I cut into salads with sour cream.
For protein, I have Realgood foods chicken breasts and egg quiches for breakfast.
My starch option is brown rice, they have easy-to-microwave bowls. I also picked up twice-baked potatoes, because CHEESE, YO!!!!!
I also have a Kencko subscription. It is a little embarrassing to admit, but some days I’m too overwhelmed to even make smoothies. Kencko offers single serve packets that provide 2 servings of vegetables. Add a scoop of protein powder and some flax seeds and I have a great snack to tide me over. To be clear, this is NOT a meal replacement. It’s better than nothing in those moments where I would opt for “nothing” over “preparing anything”.
Are you a meal prepper? Any advice or recipes you’d like to share?
This post really resonated with me. I’ve been focusing on making my meals simpler, and it’s been a game changer. After reading, I decided to try making sweetbread meat as a simple yet satisfying dish. It was delicious and easy to prepare, making me even more committed to this approach!

Love all these ideas! Here’s mine. I make a simple dozen egg bites each week. So perfect for breakfast or a snack
. Although do NOT eat them cold….ick.
I love my kencko subscription!! I use it as one of my veggie/fruit servings for the day. I’m all about ease of use. It’s hard make a good meal for all of us (2 growing boys - an 11 YO who eats as much and sometimes more than my husband). 11YO doesn’t eat meat much and isn’t a nut person. We have the standards but I always have frozen peas in the freezer. I add them to all the ground turkey meat concoctions I make. I have various soup bases and flavors for burritos/tacos/over roasted whole sweet potatoes (made them in the air fryer this week and so much faster). I’ve subscribed to a fish service out of Alaska (hit…
