“Today’s preparation determines tomorrow’s achievement” When it comes to results, everyone should be familiar with the fact that 70% of them will come from what they eat. This is very true, but for a person to have a well-rounded and balanced lifestyle, they should not spend 70% of their time concerned about what they are eating. Below are 3 different recipes to make life easier. They allow for food to be cooked in bulk, and then consumed over a few days. This not only saves time, but also means that you have got a healthy option ready to go at a moments notice!
