The other night I was getting ready to make dinner......as Nicholas ran around the house making a mess EVERYWHERE!  And I stopped for a second to think of what my next day was looking like.  

I had an appointment at 3pm the next day which meant I would not have much time to cook dinner that day.  So knowing that I made a whole other meal while I made that nights dinner.  I was making my super fast go to meal, Walnut Chicken with Wild Rice and Roasted Veggies.  So since the oven was already on, I threw in an extra 4 pieces of chicken with a little Mrs. Dash Seasoning and baked them so that we could have that for dinner the next night.  I also made extra rice, and a ton of veggies.

And thank God I did, because the next day, by the time I got off work, fed Nicholas and put him to sleep, all I had time for was a quick shower before I had to go.  Before I left for my appointment, I set up all our dinners in plates.  All I had to do is take it out of the fridge and plate it.  It took me no more than 5 minutes to get dinner ready.  I also, packed myself an apple and some cashews to take to my appointment so that I wouldn't get hungry and want to grab some of the hershey kisses that the doctor has in her office!

While I was doing all of this I was thinking to myself.........  There is no excuse for people to not stick to their nutrition programs.  If you would just take a few minutes to plan and prepare, you would eat better 75% of the time.  So maybe you don't have time to spend 3 hours in the kitchen prepping and cooking for all week.  But what I did the other night took me no more than 30 minutes to get 2 days of lunches and dinners cooked.

Oh and by the way, since I had roasted so many veggies, I set some aside and scrambled 4 eggs and 8 egg whites and mixed them together with a dash of Parmesan Cheese (the real stuff).  I put this mixture in a muffin pan and voila Veggie Quiches for snacks for the week, and all while making dinner. 

You can do this!  I know you can!  You just need to invest a few more minutes a day into planning.

Stay tuned, tomorrow I will post a few different versions of my Delish Veggie Quiches.  You won't want to miss these recipes!
