Today’s topic involves a relentless obligation: feeding ourselves. Grace shares her tips for making meals that are cost-effective, healthy, quick, and partner-friendly. Her method is also called batch-cooking!
Grace’s first advice is to take a look at what’s in your kitchen and find out whether you have protein, carbohydrates, fruits, and/or vegetables (4:15). Having these four basics makes throwing meals together a much easier task. Our host covers how to make each category more accessible: vegetables (6:10), carbs (12:40), protein (18:40), and fruits (22:20). Lastly, she discusses tactics for the all-important breakfast (25:30).
Below are some of the specific recipes and instructions Grace mentions:
Roasted Veggie Formula

-Put chopped veggies in gallon Ziploc

-Roast for 20 minutes, a few minutes more depending on the vegetable
