So I’m finally going to start showing you guys some of my favorite foods! For my first one: Baked chicken thighs and broccoli!

First, I gotta admit something.

I’M LAZY.

Like, really REALLY lazy. I’m usually so mentally/physically active during the day that I come home exhausted.

But a man has to eat at some point.

If you didn’t already know, I skip breakfast and lunch most days. Once you’ve hacked your body to burn fat, it’s really not that hard.  Intermittent fasting was a huge thing for me, because I HATED having to eat 3 square meals (usually more) a day.

Now I just drink water/tea/coffee most of the day and chew gum. Simple. No ingredients or meal prep, and I saved lots of money.

But every single day, I have to decide dinner. On my laziest days, I’ll get something from the store or worse, go out to eat. Hey, I’m not perfect, but I’m still lean despite an occasional trip to the Chinese buffet. There ARE some very good options for dining out and still sticking to a decent diet, but that’s for another time.

Here’s the thing, I royally suck at cooking. The problem is I grew up letting my mom make me food or I’d buy it prepackaged or as fast food. In other words, I used to eat terrible foods all the time, multiple times a day.

Not anymore!

Learning to cook is still elusive to me, but I’ve learned enough to make some pretty damn good meals with minimal ingredients and minimal time to prepare.
There’s more!
