It's that time of year... dun dun DUN! This time of year brings so many feelings: excitement for new things, sadness for losing free time, wonder over the enormous changes my kids will grow into, and STRESS over HOW WILL I MANAGE TO CLEAN THE HOUSE, DO LAUNDRY, FEED MY FAMILY AND WORK!
Do you hear me on that? Can I get a "HECK YEAH?"
Fortunately, I have some secret weapons... and (spoiler alert), it's all freeze dried!
Quick and easy breakfast:
Scrambled egg mix with freeze dried sausage crumbles, freeze dried spinach.
Midmorning snack:
Strawberry yogurt bites
Lunch:
Chicken Salad on crackers & dried fruit (I'm craving fuji apples and peach slices)
TO MAKE (this makes A LOT... I often halve or quarter it):
2.5 cup freeze dried chopped chicken
1/2 cup freeze dried chopped onion
3/4 cup freeze dried celery
2 cup water
Add water to chicken, onion & celery. Stir well and chill for 10 minutes. Mix 3/4 c mayo, 1 Tbsp dijon mustard, 3/4 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper until well mixed. Combine with chicken mixture, do not drain. Chill in fridge for 1.5 hours till thickened.
Afternoon Snack:
GORP (trail mix) with added freeze dried blueberries & mangoes with Thrive Classic Lemonade
Dinner:
Southwest Chicken and Rice burritos & Thrive Fudge Brownies
TO MAKE: Make the Thrive Express Southwest Style Chicken and Rice (simply add water and simmer for 15 minutes). Scoop into tortillas and top with shredded cheddar cheese and salsa.
Now put up your feet and RELAX (perhaps with an extra brownie and glass of pinot noir)!
Bon Appetit,
