Making Lunch While Juggling

So, when you are really on the go and have no time, how do you live primally?  Some of the best things would be simply raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts.  They take very little preparation, but let's face it... most days are like this and you can only eat like that for so long before you begin to crave texture and temperature differences. 

My crockpot is my best friend.  It cooks the food perfectly with no attention at all.  When getting ready for the week I count on having to have at least four "emergent meals" to cover a shortened lunch break, extra work, unexpected errands, etc.  Because I know to expect these interuptions, I have found it perfect to take frozen meat out of the fridge in accurate portions sizes for the family, put them in a crockpot bowl, put seasoning on them, place a wonder KeepEez top on and pop them in the refridgerator.  KeepEez is BPA free, and provides a nice vaccum seal.  Now, when I am done I have already got all of the "emergency meal" meats prepared.  We need only to place them into the crockpot and turn it on.

Some of the favorite seasonings to add to the chicken:
  Mint.
  Thyme.
  Lemon pepper.
  Chili powder.
  Onion.
  Garlic.
  Cayenne.
  Lime.
  Olive oil or Coconut oil.

To add a little bit of substance as a side we may add yams or white rice on occassion.  We may steam a Member's Mark broccoli bag or top it off with a smoothie. 

What really great about this is, if there is by some chance a little extra, it saves and reheats very well!
