Teacher Week & Apples!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm linking up with Blog Hoppin' for:

I can't wait to read everyone's ideas today!

I've been cooking in "batches" for...years, maybe decades? 

It's something my mom always did and since I absolutely love to eat, I've done it, too :)

Every two months or so, I spend a long afternoon cooking tons and TONS of ground turkey breast (stove) and chicken breast (crockpot). Next, I distribute all of it to one-serving size freezer containers:

Please click here to read more about it (throwback post)!

We use those containers for our "main" meals.
My simple routine is:

Walk in the door (while reading/sorting mail)
Thaw one container for 1.5 minutes (on high)
Place spinach on salad plate or thaw veggies.
Clean out/repack lunch bag while everything cooks
EAT!

It take literally less than 5 minutes! Is it the best meal ever?
 Not even close, but it's quick and healthy!

I also work out with a coach who is seriously killing me with these workouts (♥ her!) and I need extra pre/post meals. Every weekend I make two dozen of these protein muffins (another throwback!):

They are simply unflavored protein powder, eggs, raisins, spices, and baking soda. Bake for 10 minutes and then I package them up! Yum!

I also make my breakfast/lunch for Monday-Friday...a simple tuna or chicken salad. It's the same every weekday, but we go out and live it up on the weekends :)

Please stop back tomorrow for my Classroom Tour!

I'm also blogging today at Ellison Education to share these cuties:

I love their interactive flashcards, and so do my students! 

Have a terrific Tuesday! Jen
