I streamline my day by making food ahead of time.

For breakfast I had cheese, a healthy muffin, V-8, and an apple.
(I make 2 dozen muffins at a time. This is 12-15 meals. They take a total of 30 minutes prep time.) Here are links to two healthy muffin recipes.

Lunch-rice dolmas from the deli, bread, olive oil, and a tangerine. (Slicing the bread and pouring the oil is the only prep.)

Dinner-Hot roast beef sandwich and a green salad. (The roast and gravy cook in the crock pot. There is less than 15 minutes prep time for the roast and gravy.) Here is a link to the recipe.

My total time making these meals was less than 20 minutes. I make food for several meals, then it takes less time to prepare food. This frees my time for other things in life.

For meals:

Make a main meal with meatloaf. Surround it with potatoes, celery, onions, and carrots. It's a great one dish meal.

Then, make sandwiches the next day.
