And no cooking for 3 hours!
Last night I took:
1 tin baked beans (chilli ones)
1 tin kidney beans
2 tins mixed beans
2 tins chopped tomatoes
some chilli powder
1 2min bag of microwavable rice
Open all the tins, and drain the kidney & mixed beans (the hard part) pour the tins into a saucepan (put empty ones into re-cycling box), with some chilli powder to taste, heat gently for about half an hour, stirring occassionally (whilst filling the washing machine, getting dance clothes out ready, watching a bit of telly). Cut 2cm into rice bag, microwave for 2 mins, put onto plate, spoon on some chilli, sprinkle on some ready grated half-fat cheese.
There, minimum effort, 5 mins preperation, occassional stirring for half an hour, only one saucepan, one wooden spoon, one plate & one fork to wash up (even less with a dishwasher) and I've had a very healthy, high in fibre, meal, which will last for about 10 meals! And I've got plenty of time to have a shower and get myself ready to go dancing! I've even managed to get some housework done!
Eating healthily does not have to be difficult, the only difficult bit is to stop making excuses for not doing it!
