Meal prepping again!

Going back to work next week so I find myself meal prepping again. I'm trying to make things easier for my husband as he has some trouble fending for himself. Please understand that he is a HFASD (High Functioning Austism Spectrum D/O) and really smart but it's hard for him to stick to any kind of healthy eating plan so I'm prepping a few things for him as well and see how that goes. 

I blend most of my own spices to keep the salt down and eliminate unneeded additives. I seasoned six chicken half breasts (Two Mexican Chili/Citrus, Two Persian, and two Greek Island Summer) I'll throw them on the BBQ later and stir up some barlotto and asparagus for dinner, then portion out the rest with assorted veggies and low impact carbs for the rest of the week.  I am also going to do some egg dishes and pasta just to round things out. 

I feel like I'm kind of killing it today.

Hppy

Barley is a chewy grain and takes longer to cook Quaker Oats makes a parched barley  and the grain has can be used for cereal and I will sprinkle in into soups and stew
