You want to do mine as well?

Sure! I enjoy it! My kids help with the washing and stirring of the vegetables. We make a morning of it.

So what all do we have here?!
I desperately need to get in the groove of doing this!

Rainbow quinoa, sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli and cauliflower with onions and garlic, sautéed kale, red and green peppers with broccoli. All the vegetables are roasted. I seasoned the broccoli and cauliflower mixture with garlic and thyme and the red and green pepper mixture with cumin, chili and paprika. Not pictured are the black beans, chick peas and pinto beans I use for protein. When I make my quinoa bowls, I add fresh avocado, tomato, a tiny bit of feta and a squeeze of lime juice.
I'm a vegetarian, but my husband adds some shredded chicken to his bowls as well.
The prep really doesn't take that long. Everything roasts in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, so all in all, it's only a little over an hour to get it all ready.

So you just use all of that to make bowls thru out the week?
That's awesome. I think I'll start trying this, I eat meat but I can shred some chicken

Does all that last a full week in being healthy

It lasts me a work week for lunches with usually a little left over. I only eat 1/2-3/4 c of quinoa with each bowl and then fill in with the vegetables and beans. I didn't have a full bag of kale this week, so I probably won't have it all week, but the other stuff will last.
If I have a little left over I usually make "tacos" with either corn tortillas or lettuce leaves and some hummus and use the veggies as filling.
