Thanks, Leslie! I think you have a great formula (grain+legumes/protein+vegetables) and I’m definitely going to co-opt it. It’s so simple and balanced. I do eat a lot of meals like that, I just never broke it down into the elements!

Andrenna,

I do usually plan a few dinners so I know which specific ingredients to have on my grocery list. For meals like this though, I just try to keep my pantry stocked with different grains and beans, and then I throw in whatever vegetables I have left in the fridge. Frozen vegetables are great in a pinch too, and then they only take a couple minutes to thaw and throw on top of some rice.

Hope that helps a little!

Healthy is a way of life for me, too. That said, I’m doing an intense summer internship right now and dinner lately has been cereal! It’s okay once in a while, but not how I want to live my life!

I’m trying to find ways to combat cereal for dinner syndrome. Do you plan your meals by the week so you have ingredients on hand to make throw together dinners?

I love easy peasy thrown together meals!

In answer to your question, yes healthy eating is slowly but surely becoming a ‘way of life’ for me.
