When things get crazy I reach for simple, quick, and easy meals that don’t skimp on nutrition as when things get crazy and stressful that is when we need to make sure we are fueling out bodies properly. I too need reminders with this and with everything going on right now with some remodel projects around the house I need to really stay on top of my health and nutrition which can easily take a back burner when a kitchen is in pieces or you don’t have the time to or can’t get in the kitchen. Luckily I was able to get in my kitchen to roast up some sweet potatoes but sweet potatoes, squash, and grains are things I will be batch cooking to have on hand for times when I can’t get to the stove to through together quick plant-based bowls and salads.
