This is my lunch 100%

Some sort of bowl- Mexican or Asian inspired rice bowls can be easy to make or a pasta based bowl for an Italian style. My favorite is a burrito bowl (think at home chipotle) and super customizable

Chickpea Greek salad. Takes less than 10 minutes, is vegetarian and super delicious. https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/the-easiest-chopped-chickpea-greek-salad/

I try to do a mix of cooking and pre-prepared meals. Usually a protein and side which could be a starch or veggie. Think grilling marinated meat from Trader Joe’s and a bagged salad kit.

Tonight is Korean bbq marinated beef strips that I’ll grill and the Trader Joe’s frozen veggie fried rice.

Just had brown rice (from last night) with steamed broccoli and eggs, mixed up in a pan with a small amount of oil, liquid aminos, and hot sauce—sort of a healthy fried rice (I’m vegetarian).

Sounds great!

I second everyone saying bowls, if you make extra rice / veggies / beans / protein then it’s easy for leftovers. I also love the pre-seasoned frozen salmon options that you can just throw in the oven & bake then put together a salad.

Sheet pan dinners are also great! Google them and you’ll find a ton of easy recipes.

My final favorite thing for really quick and healthy dinners are the Kevin’s brand of paleo chicken & sides. They’re really healthy, tasty and ready in like 5 minutes. I’ve found them at Sprouts, target, Costco and sometimes Safeway

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.
