5 Healthy Make-Ahead Lunch Recipes

5 Healthy Make-Ahead Lunch Recipes Image via thekitchn.com Research shows that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle (and especially when attempting to lose weight) your lunch intake should be much greater than that of your dinner proportions. Many Americans tend to do this backwards and nibble on little snacks in lieu of a substantial lunch. As a result, our dinner portions tend to be huge (and often full of carbohydrates). It has been proven time and time again that eating a large meal right before bed is not the best idea. It is not ideal for your digestive system because you are supposed to rest (or fast) while you sleep. As a result of eating before bed, you will end up with a stomach full of food just sitting there until morning. Not only does this contribute to weight gain, it throws off your nocturnal digestive process due to having large amounts of food stagnant in your body. The best way to go is actually to eat the bulk of your calories as early as possible, ideally breakfast, or lunch so that you have ample time to burn them off before bedtime. If digestive reasons aren’t enough to persuade you to eat an ample lunch, maybe the accessibility of having a delicious and healthy lunch on hand may be enough to convince you. Here are some of my favorite make-ahead lunches that you can pack the night before and even make in a big batch so youll have lunch for a few days, if not the full week. Fall Harvest Freekeh Salad Image via thekitchn.com This deconstructed salad is not only appealing for your eyes, but your body will thank you for consuming something so nutritious. Freekeh is a whole-wheat ancient grain with a sweet nutty flavor (think quinoa married beans). If you’re not into trying new grains you can always add your favorite beans or farro mix. Simply prep all the grains, greens, beans, and veggies the night before, then keep them in separate containers until its time to mix it all together on your lunch hour. Find the recipe at thekitchn.com Fajita Bowls Craving some Mexican cuisine but don’t want to give into the queso temptation? Well save yourself the trip to Chipotle and toss this tasty and easy to make lunch bowl in your bag and you’ll be ready to fiesta! The best part, besides being fresh and full of color, is that this yummy bowl will keep in the fridge for up to four days, so you can just make a big batch at the beginning of the week and you won’t have to worry about lunch until the weekend! Check out the recipe from sweetpeasandsaffron.com and try it out for yourself. Roasted Red Pepper Quinoa Chili Image via fitfoodiefinds.com With fall weather fast approaching, sometimes you just want to warm up with a hearty bowl of deliciousness. This healthy take on chili will not only warm your tummy, but also will taste delicious and fill you up with the entire day.

Roasted Chicken and Veggies This one pan chicken and veggie recipe is easy to make and pack and only requires one pan to make! A perfect go-to lunch for the low-carb dieter, this dish is incredibly healthy and flavorful.

How a tutor can help your child this school year

How a tutor can help your child this school year Tutors have become an important part of a child's education, helping them to achieve their target grades and preparing them for dreaded exams. A tutor is a teacher or professional that is paid to work privately with a child and to help them with their specific needs. The great thing about a tutor is that they can work with your child in a more focused way, ensuring they concentrate on the areas your child is struggling with the most. As parents we know our children and fully comprehend their strengths and weaknesses. So it is up to us to know when we think a little outside help might be needed. There are also some tell-tale signs that your child could really benefit from a private tutor. Here are a few of them: Your child may feel frustrated when they need to do their homework and avoid it where possible. They may be spending more time than normal trying to complete their homework. Your child may complain regularly that they don't want to go to school, they 'hate' a specific lesson or they dislike a teacher. Your child's report may have seen a drop in grades. Your child may seem more withdrawn that normal or less confident than before. Of course the first thing to do if you notice 'something different' about your child or their attitude, is to talk to them and find out what is bothering them. If it is an issue with school work or they are struggling to understand certain topics they may have covered then a tutor is a good way to go. A tutor can help with: Helping your child with a specific subject they may be struggling with. Preparing your child for exams whether they be entrance exams, GCSE's or A-levels. Building their confidence. Providing invaluable exam tips. Challenging them to strive to be the best they can. And another great thing about a private tutor is that they build a rapport with your child and adapt their teaching styles to suit your child's individual needs. Of course tutors cannot work miracles and where some parents think that as soon as their child begins working with a tutor their grades will automatically go up, this is not the case. Both a tutor and a child need time to form a working relationship; but normally after the first few lessons your child should be on course to reaping the benefits of having a teacher all to themselves. A tutor is hired to supplement classroom teaching and because they have the chance to work on a one-to-one basis with your child they are able to quickly see where your child needs the most help. So if you think your child could do with some confidence building, extra work on their Maths skills, help with preparing for their science GCSE's or just needs some extra academic attention to challenge them and see them achieve their maximum potential then a private tutor will almost certainly help with this.

How Millennials Can Reduce Debt and Invest In 2019

How Millennials Can Reduce Debt and Invest In 2019 via Pexels.com Where should you begin if youre living under a mountain of debt?   First things first: evaluate your monthly budget. How much are you spending by going out with your friends for drinks? Are you attending every single trivia night in your city? Is that really necessary? Cut down your entertainment spending first and foremost. After you re-evaluate your entertainment budget, the next thing you should look at is how much youre spending on extras. Most students do a little weekend shopping, eat out too much, or splurge on things they just dont need (probably Amazon). The second thing you should do after looking at your entertainment budget is look at your spending habits from the past few months and evaluate what you could have gone without. Next, you need to start looking at your debt to income ratio which you might think is tough to do while youre in school or if youre a new graduate. But its really not bad. Simply add up all of your monthly bills that youre  required to pay.  (This is called existing. What does it cost you to exist as who you are? Rent, credit cards, student loan, gas, food, etc.) Once youve added up everything you have to pay, look at your  net income.  (This isnt how much you make in one month, this is  how much you  bring home  in one month.) Evaluating your debt to income ratio is how people know theyre living paycheck to paycheck. You arent going to get very far in life if youre barely making it month to month between your income and your bills. So one of them has to change. You either need to lower your monthly bills or you need to find a job making more money. In order to find a job making more money, it might require you to invest in yourself through education. Theres a chance you arent in a financial spot to do so. This means the next thing you need to do is:  pay your bills down faster.   The absolute first thing you need to know about being in debt and trying to get yourself out of debt is:  you should never, ever, ever  only  pay the minimum payment required on any credit card bill.  See, credit card companies are funny little suckers they know they can take advantage of young people who are impulsive. They know they can get you hooked on swiping your little plastic card so you can have the things you  think  you need; the things you  think  youve just  got to have.   If all you do every month when it comes to your credit card bill is pay the minimum balance, youre always going to be in debt. Those credit card companies dont want you to pay off your bill! The interest youre having to pay is  how they make their money.  So the  first  thing you need to do when you get your credit card bill is write a check or make a payment for  more  than the minimum balance. Otherwise, youre going to continue to receive a credit card bill every month instead of just paying it off. via Pexels.com What if you dont have credit card debt, but you do have student loans?   Student loans are a tricky little thing. Most of the loans college students are taking out these days have a grace period of six months after graduation before you have to start making payments. This six months should be used to find a job with incredible earning potential (you  do  have a college degree, after all). Get yourself settled into a place with decently low rent, pay down your credit card bills, and then recognize how much youre going to have to pay in student loan payments every month. Look at this loan like I taught you to look at your credit card bills:  pay more than the minimum requirement and youll see a much more drastic change in the amount you owe.   Investing in yourself can be great, but student loans are  real.  Theyre something most college students have to deal with after graduation. Dont feel like youre the only one fighting this battle, just realize that unless you bite the bullet and start paying it down youre going to be looking at making payments for a VERY long time. The longer you make payments, the more interest its likely that youre paying. The faster you can pay it down to nothing, the less money youre going to waste on interest. via Canva.com You might feel like you dont have a lot of money, but you want to start investing to secure a stellar financial future. Where do you begin?   Instead of holding onto your cash,  investors.com  suggests you invest in stocks and stock funds. In the long-term, returns on cash investments look good, but investments in stocks look better. The key is to  start investing when youre young.  Investors.com even suggests that contributing $5500 per year to an SP  500 index fund, it will be worth almost $4 million after 42 years. That sounds a lot better than earning nickels and dimes on the dollars of what you have sitting in the bank, doesnt it? Absolutely. Should I already be worrying about retirement even if Im in my early 20s?   Yes. Absolutely. Its never too early to start saving for retirement. So as youre evaluating your financial situation and trying to figure out how youll pay for your apartment in a swanky retirement home, you should know that the earlier you begin investing, the bigger the payout is in the long term. Lets run some numbers: According to CNNs  money.cnn.com, it is absolutely  imperative  that you understand the amount of money youre missing out on just by putting off stocking up for your retirement by a few years. Here are the examples they use: If, at age 25, you begin saving $3000 per year. Then after 10 years, at 35, you completely stop saving. By the time youre 65 (which were loosely using as retirement age,) you will roughly have about $338,000 in savings. Seems pretty crazy, doesnt it? Now lets imagine that you put off saving for retirement until youre 35. Since youve missed out on saving for a few years, you decide youre going to contribute $3000 per year for the next 30 years. By the time you reach 65, you will have set aside $90,000 of your own money, but it will grow to only about $303,000. Theres $35,000 in difference because you put off saving for a few years. So whats the lesson to be learned from this?  Start investing early. But what should I invest in? How do I know if Im investing in something worthwhile versus making a bad decision?   Sometimes people get intimidated by investing in the stock market. I understand this completely. But there are other options. You dont  only  have to invest in the stock market there are definitely more options to choose from. If youre looking for advice on how you should invest, seek out a financial advisor. Many people think they have to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings before an advisor will even give them the time of day. But this isnt the case. If you cant help or stop yourself from wanting what you want, and you really want to make a big purchase, where should you begin?   Your first step towards buying something thats much larger than you would typically buy, you need to split it into chunks. Save for it in steps. There are several ways you can do this: some people will save for large purchases with cash in a clear jar. The reason for this is so you can see yourself saving as you go. Then, when you go to make a large purchase, you wont see a difference in your bank account. Instead, youll use the money you saved over a number of weeks. Split up the purchase into reasonable chunks. You might think of paychecks as a reasonable measure of time. For instance, set aside $50 every paycheck, and after a few months, youll have enough saved to buy a large ticket item. There are many students, today, who are not in ideal financial situations. In fact, its hard to get yourself to a place where you feel financially stable and happy. When youre a college student, you feel overwhelmed by finances. Youre drowning in debt, you dont have much time to work, and you dont feel like youre bringing in very much money on a weekly basis. However, theres a time and a place for you to get yourself in a more stable financial situation. Dont feel like you have to immediately have your life figured out. Sure, theres a pressure to make sure you get yourself together and you have a stable life after college but thats exactly it  after college.  You have time to get yourself financially settled. The best thing you can do for yourself in the meantime is to make intentional and  smart  financial decisions.
