Career fire dpt so I work two days followed by two nights followed by four days off. I try and meal prep two lunches and two dinners that can be eaten cold or warm as a kitchen/microwave isn’t always accessible.

Marinated chicken breast in lime juice/oil/fish sauce/minced lemongrass/garlic/ginger/soy sauce before grilling. Served with pad thai noodles, watermelon radish, jalapenos, cilantro, basil, carrots, red cabbage, sprouts. Made a peanut sauce from peanut butter, palm sugar, lime juice, sambal. Baked wonton wrapper cups with mangos tossed in thai chilies/mint and over a slaw of chopped cabbage/almonds in rice vinegar. Beverage is thai iced tea (just add ice)

Lunches I seared skirt steak and blackened shrimp, sauteed a red bell pepper, a poblano, and a yellow onion. Served over quinoa and black beans. Made a red chimichurri sauce in the Chipotle style with oregano, lemon juice, EVOO, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, chipotles in adobo, cumin, cilantro, and chopped radish leaves (ran out of parsley and I have radish in my garden). Watermelon and radish salad tossed with tajin and mint. Beverage is lime-ade with cucumber, cilantro, and more mint. I had a lot of mint in my garden to use.
