Tasty Tuesday

I kind of realize that a lot of what i have been blogging is not really related to anything Kendall but it is whats going on in my life right now and it seems to be consuming me and making me what to shout out to the world how good i feel about my goals and accomplishments on this weight loss/fitness journey.

I don't have a picture for you mostly because i decided it would look really boring showing you exactly what i eat for lunch almost everyday. Its my go to meal of meat and brown rice. I say meat because i mix it up. Last week i cooked up turkey breast with pesto on it, this week is chicken breast with pesto or i will cook up some deer meat into meatballs.

On Sunday night i break out the handy rice cooker. I have tried cooking brown rice in a pan on the stove and usually by the time its the consistency that i like it, it looks like a big bowl of mush that is not at all appetizing. So I started cooking it in the rice cooker. It takes FOREVER but its not like you have to keep an eye on it in case it is going to boil over, you just get it ready push a button and leave it alone until it starts beeping at you and it turns out perfect.

I cut up my meat into bite size pieces and just cook them up in a pan. I like using the pesto because well i love pesto but it also gives the chicken and turkey a really good flavor.

I cook enough food to last me for the next 4 days. 

I put about a cup of rice and 3/4 cup of meat into a tupperware and put a little dressing on it, i like the lite balsamic parmesan vinagrette. It gives it a little extra flavor and helps keep the rice from drying out. It ends up being about 300 calories which isn't a lot but when you are eating you multiple small meals a day it is just the right size.

I reheat it at work and even though i am basically eating the same meal almost everyday i really enjoy it, it tastes good. I don't like to eat out at fast food for lunch. We also don't have many fast food options so that makes it easier. I prefer to make my own food so i actually know what i am eating and putting into my body.

Whats your favorite go to meal?

PS: have you ever watched your significant other workout??? I mean yowza its nice. On Monday and Wednesday Jason and I will be at the gym together and I could stare at him the whole time, although i wouldn't get any work done myself and people would look at me like I am a creeper girl who is staring, but its nice to watch.
