  1. Thomas- My go to, fast recipe is:
    1 bag of Seeds of Change
    1 large Can of white breast chicken (Costco has an 8pk)
    1 bag of steamed veggies (your choice)

    Literally heat veggies in microwave, and then toss those in a bowl, start rice in microwave, and while it is cooking, drain and rinse chicken, shread it into veggies.
    When rice is finished, add to chicken veggie mix, stir and done.

    I do often add extra spices, greek seasoning, sometimes taco seasoning, black pepper and extra garlic powder….
    Makes 4 servings, we take this for lunch OFTEN!!

  2. My go-to is I bag microwaved, stir in 1/2 chopped avocado, 2 chopped roma tomatoes and a little Himalayan pink sea salt….absolutely delicious!

  3. My family loves this. I sauté some onion, red, yellow and/or orange peppers with additional garlic. I add this mixture along with rotisserie chicken. Fabulous! Costco sometimes sells rotisserie chicken in a 2 lb bag already cut up!! I divide it at home and freeze. Super easy to make this dish.
