The Smoothie Vegetarians

I place such a high level of importance on healthy eating, but sometimes it can be a struggle to get meals in with a crazy busy schedule. I am usually only home for a few minutes in between work and my grad school classes for the night on most weekdays. Sometimes I try to make quick meals, but during lunch hour I am sometimes home. Fortunately, this free time in my schedule can be devoted to healthy eating and making myself a nice, nourishing meal. I typically am in a rush with only a few minutes to whip something up, but for my free time in the week, I can make some delicious meals. If I have extra time during lunch hour, or I do not have class that night, I can make a more extravagant meal. As the weather gets colder, I have been wanting to make some warmer meals and I want something that will energize me for the night sitting through my clinical classes.

This is my favorite recipe for barbecues. I ask whoever is on the grill to grill it up before the meat or after (make sure they know to clean the grill and use new utensils). In my experience, most people are happy to do that if you let them know in advance. If they do not want to do that then you can bake them inside. Either way, they are delicious!
