While I’m really trying to get back on prep, I’m hoping to share a lot more dinner recipes over the next 12 weeks. I’m boring with breakfast, lunch, and snacks. They are almost always the same.
- For breakfast, I eat eggs and oatmeal.
- For lunch, I eat chicken and veggies
- For snack, I eat protein powder with yogurt or fruit.
But DINNER, that changes! So, over the next 12 weeks, expect lots of healthy dinner ideas! For now, give this healthy chicken stir fry.
