For the chicken and rice I used my Instant Pot however, you could absolutely use a Dutch Oven or something similar if you don’t have an Instant Pot. This is a nice and big bulk recipe, great for some food prep for the week or a big family meal!

Mujaddara is generally made using brown or green lentils and rice, that can be seasoned with cumin, coriander, or mint. Lentils are a great vegetarian source of protein.

Quick fried rice with frozen veg for those days that regular rice just won’t cut it.

By keeping some staples on hand you can almost always pack your rice with a ton of flavor. I had a bag of frozen veg, a couple of bags of frozen rice (leftover cooked rice also works great!), jarred ginger and garlic hanging out in the fridge along with their saucy friends and eggs on deck.

Looking to load up on protein and carbs for that training day but don't have much wiggle room in fats? This paella recipe is great for those who need a high-protein and high-carb meal.

The great thing about this recipe is you can adjust the portions of the ingredients to work for your macros. I also suggest adding a little sambal oelek at a time in case you’re sensitive to spicy foods.

I invited the BIN team over to my house last week for a change of scenery and we decided we needed to make something delicious for lunch. We’re a busy bunch and all had check-ins to do, so we wanted something quick. And it was a hot day so we needed something refreshing that could be served cold. Since we’re also talking about sustainability this month, we decided to get fish from a local fish market here in town. It was a group effort and it turned out fabulous. The only cooking required is the rice, and if you have a rice cooker you can just set it and forget it. Which is exactly what we did. We put the rice on and sat down to get our work done. Once the rice was finished we let it cool and piled on the toppings. If you’re looking for a simple, delicious, and healthy recipe, we’ve got you covered with this one!

Here are some quick, go-to options for carbs when you’re in a bind and don’t have time to cut up your own potatoes or wait 30 minutes for your rice to cook!
