I have a confession. Since I have gotten back from my BC trip last month I've struggled to find balance in my life and unfortunately my meal prepping has suffered the most. I've been working (too much), getting back in to a regular yoga practice (after a 2 year hiatus), training for a half marathon, homework, and trying to keep up with all social media and future career plans... oh and then there is housework and yard work, gardening, spending time with my boyfriend and my cat, and trying to maintain somewhat of a social life. This all doesn't leave me a lot of extra time to develop recipes and get creative in the kitchen. But, then I realized that my life is neither more nor less busy than a lot of others and it's not an excuse. After coming to this conclusion I've decided I need to simplify my meal plans for the next while, until I have extra free time once again (one day I will! I can see the light now and it is close!). I created this recipe for a light dinner earlier this week, kind of the kick off to the start of my goal of creating simple, healthy meals.
PS; Some grilled chicken would be a nice addition to add some protein and make a more satisfying and complete meal.. or some lentils!
