This is my standard cook set-up. As dinner seems to be the most important meal of the day for me I have put together a dinner meal plan that includes 26 different dishes. I want to make them as varied as possible so I will be interested in eating them when I am tired at the end of the day. Here goes.

PCT dinner meals

  1. Mac and cheese with tuna
  2. Pasta with pesto and chicken
  3. Thai chicken with peanut butter
  4. Grits and cheese veggies
  5. Chicken noodle casserole
  6. Chicken chili

Packs

I wish I could say the new packs were the 'bomb' but I am still having difficulty with pressure on my lower back. Quite a bummer, yes? Anyone got any ideas?
