On Sundays, I like to make big pots of stuff that my family and I can simply reheat during the week after a long day! It’s a simple way to meal prep. Proteins like tofu, chicken and beef and grains like quinoa, bulgur and wild rice keep my family happy and nourished.

Try my amazing Quinoa Enchilada recipe that’ll leave you and your family satisfied and nourished. It offers a good balance of protein, fiber, carbohydrates and antioxidants!
