Clients often complain that preparing any meal that requires more work beyond removing a wrapper and throwing a pre-made meal in the oven or microwave is going to add stress and complication to their day.
These are often the same clients who complain of having no energy, lacklustre sex drive and little zest for life. What I tell them, time after time is that you must eat food that energizes you, fires up your metabolism and feeds your cells and eating packaged and processed foods will not do any of that!
That said, I understand that cooking after an eight or nine hour day isn’t always an attractive endeavour. My solution: take advantage of leftovers. This strategy works magic for me as I rarely ever spend more than 15 minutes in my kitchen. As much as I love to cook and bake, I much prefer to socialize with my dinner guest or family, rather than be chained to my kitchen counter.
The other night I made brown and wild rice, a dish that takes about 25 minutes and only requires a couple stirs. I served it with fish and a mixed green salad, in other words, an easy, fresh, spring-like dinner. And, as a bonus, I got another meal out of it as the next day I whipped up this little number. This is a great recipe (sans goat cheese), if you’re following our 30-Day Nutrition Challenge.
Recipe after the jump.
