I freeze chili, soup, lentils for those days when I'm just don't want to cook. I will often roll up 10 bean, veggie, rice bonanza burritos. (Better than the ones which cost $6.00 in the frozen food aisle.) That way, we aren't eating the same thing every meal. We have the look and feel of something "new" every night.<br /><br />The more I do it, the more a rhythm emerges making it even simpler each time. So, then I look for the next challenge. I'm experimenting right now with 10 Minute Meals. I do a weekend prep of meals which will take 10 minutes to turn into something "new" every night.<br /><br />I'm glad to see that you are eating healthfully. It makes a difference.Christina Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344959813985960573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266371.post-77716769266356887362015-01-24T22:34:43.020-05:002015-01-24T22:34:43.020-05:00The batch cooking is what I was forced to learn an...The batch cooking is what I was forced to learn and perfect over years, when it came time to pay my student loans as I was working as a bicycle courier in Pittsburgh. Every Sunday, I would cook what most my friends know as Hoj poj. I would eat it for lunch and dinner. It was designed to be maximum complex carbs, protein and spices. I had a few batches that were depressingly average at first, but this forced me to get better, including advice from my mom. I eventually started saving a little money, instead of spending 20$ a day on big meals that it takes to work as a bike messenger. It sucked at times to do this with such long term physical exhaustion, but it was healthy power food, that I had enough to share with people. Another ritual I still do is breakfast prep at night. I best the eggs and spices, prepare the oatmeal in a bowl with milk, sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla, make a PB&j, and also make home made Chai and put it in Thermos inside a cooler, so it's piping got in the morning. I've also made pancake battery at night to last a few days. These are the rituals that need spreading. They are easier to do before relaxing with a movie or something in the evening. Keep up the good works and figuring it out as you go! I'm still figuring it out.Ketan Bakranianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266371.post-40494163394572261382014-12-27T20:04:06.353-05:002014-12-27T20:04:06.353-05:00Thank you so much!

Makes me want to do the electric slide.<br /><br />We are having to find our own ways and our own voices, aren't we? The movement of the '60s could draw on hundreds of years of folk song and say, but our unity has been shattered by these people whose only reason for being is to sell us stuff, for whom our only reason for being is to buy stuff. <br /><br />I'll never forget you saying, a million years ago, at Cave Canem, "money is a very tangible form of love energy." That is, "what you buy is where you invest your soul." This new teaching is, in fact, the old teaching, isn't it? invested with the urgency of the now?<br /><br />Blessings upon you, sister-mother. Your voice graces us. And also, my prayers for the safety of your beautiful family.Kendra Hamilton, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13023261440701853621noreply@blogger.com
