Part 5/8:
Customization is all about flexibility within the framework of the planned meals. The next day’s lunch involved a rice bowl that resembled the previous night’s dinner, but with a twist—incorporation of a quick coleslaw using prepped cabbage and carrots.
That evening, the customization principle went into full effect with roasted acorn squash and refried beans tacos. By reheating and blending leftover beans, I transformed a simple ingredient into a new dish, all while maintaining the week’s therapeutic flow.
