Helpful Hints When You Have to Eat "Take Out" or "Eat Out"
Have you ever found yourself without access to a kitchen?
Due to a recent slab leak in our home, quite a common occurrence here in SoCal, I found myself minus a kitchen.
So how do you maintain a healthy lifestyle without the ability to cook?
Thankfully, living in Southern California we can use the BBQ year round. So that's always an option. You can barbecue your protein, your veggies, even your starches...baked or roasted sweet potatoes... yummolicious! It also makes clean up a breeze! Especially useful when you have to wash your dishes in the powder room!
Unfortunately, with busy schedules eating out or bringing food in may be your only option. This may sound fun at first, but after a while, you get over it...trust me!
So how do you eat without relying on burgers and fries and pizza? There are several other options. Every grocery store has a deli, it's quite easy to buy a pre-roasted chicken and steam some veggies in the microwave......just remember to remove the skin from the chicken...and thank goodness for salad bars. Tons of veggies and proteins to chose from. Always a nice option for an easy and healthy lunch.
Eating at a restaurant doesn't have to find you indulging every time either...pick a grilled or roasted protein and ask for double veggies instead of the usual side of potatoes, and skip dessert....unless it's a cheat day of course!
Things are pretty messy around here, but everything has been fixed and is starting to come together. I can't wait to get my kitchen back and start cooking and prepping our food again!
