I'm getting pretty sick of preparing food, so I've resorted to what I call, "The Serrano Method". A friend of mine was a health nut, but like me...was lazy when it came to preparing food. It just took too long. (Understandable when he was eating like 6 pounds of chicken per day...crazy). So what he would do was this:
And there you have it...dinner is served (for many, many days...) Now, it's pretty bland (because who has time to add spices and whatnot?...) So he would typically just add salsa, hot sauce, or BBQ sauce to make it taste relatively decent.
So because I've hit this lull and complete unwillingness to prepare food everyday, here is my version of the Serrano Method:
I browned up the ground turkey while I prepared the couscous (bring water to boil, add couscous, then simmer for 5 minutes). I then added the sausage, veggies, and beans to the ground turkey until everything was warm. I put the couscous on the bottom of individual Tupperware containers then added the veggies/bean/protein mix on top. And there you have it...lunch for the work week! The total for the ingredients was $11.09. The total per "lunch" is $2.22. That's a pretty good deal. :) Best part is...I don't have to prepare anything during the week! It's done! YESSSSS....
- He'd prepare a bunch of brown rice
- Saute' up some chicken breast
- Add a bunch of beans
- Add a bunch of veggies
- Toss it all together and serve!

- Ground turkey & chicken sausage (big sale on ground turkey...$.99 per pound! Whoop whoop!)
- Black & white beans
- Mixed veggies & sweet corn
- Mushroom & herb couscous (only takes 5 minutes to make...score!)
