Yogurt parfaits. Yogurt, fresh fruit, granola layered onto a cup.
Quick snack and I don't get robbed buying these at Starbucks or others places.

Some kind of muffins.

Doesn't the grNola go soggy in the fridge with the yoghurt, and the fruit brown?

Depending on the season either grilled or baked thin cut chicken breasts for sandwiches or salads. I also always have eggs and chees, everyone at my house will always eat egg and cheese sandwiches.

Crystal light peach iced tea.
Hummingbird food for the feeder.
Can't really think of anything else I make ahead.

Hard boiled eggs. Great for a quick snack, easy to mix into egg salad.

I also keep lots of meat, cheese, and nuts (mostly almonds) on hand.

Also, a bottle of lemon juice, so I can add a squirt to my 96 oz of water I drink daily.

I always have a tub of home made tartar sauce and a tub of Bloomin' Onion dip in the fridge.
Always have 3 or 4 salad dressings and fresh vegetables. Eggs and cheese. A pitcher of (iced) green tea for hubby.

Some kind of cold, main-dish salad, like sesame noodles with edamame or tortellini salad. My husband takes his lunch to work so making something that will last several days helps in the mornings. I also make baked steel-cut oatmeal with eggs and fruit in it, which he takes for breakfast.

Homemade Marinara in the freezer, lentil soup in the freezer, homemade Iced tea.

[imagardener]

-always have extra leftover mashed potatoes that hubby makes fantastic potato pancakes
-always have homemade turkey/chicken stock for quick jus for sautéed chicken with wine and butter and fresh herbs
-always dried herbs from garden or fresh if they are currently growing (lemon basil, dill, regular basil)
-always ground dried red peppers from garden
-always chicken soup in the freezer when no energy to cook
-secret weapon in freezer=Korean BBQ chicken thighs, so easy to make and freeze, so quick and easy to bake and serve

what I never have ready is any pastry dessert because I am powerless if it's in the house. I used to make cookie dough and freeze individual cookies to bake a couple at a time but even that was too available haha. I am gluten-intolerant so don't buy store cookies, make them instead (infrequently).
