Recipe: Spicy Beef & Sweet Potato Tacos | Food and Drink

Pin It

As I get more settled into my new job and schedule, I’m finding more ways to streamline my day, especially when it comes to meals. Gone are the days of being able to keep a big bag of supplies in the break room fridge and coming up with different concoctions whenever lunchtime arrived. Now I’m all about packing lunches, prepping for meals a few days in advance, and trying to come up with sensible things to eat after work. I feel like the mother of a kindergartner at this point, such is the need for constant prep work!

The hardest part has been making the switch from fun & exciting dinners to fun & exciting lunches. After years of working the 8-5 circuit, not having the evenings free is a little strange. I miss celebrating things like Taco Tuesdays, and breakfast-for-dinner gets really confusing once you start having it around 2am (because at that point, isn’t it just breakfast again?). So, I’m making small lunchtime changes here & there to allow these little traditions to continue, only on a less elaborate scale.
