Each serving - fill up 1 green container with casserole

1 red container

1 yellow container

1/2 green container

TIP- if you don't have cooked rice already made, use one cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water and boil together until liquid is gone.  Start the rice before starting the casserole and everything will be ready around the same time!

Soooo many people are going to use this time of year as an EXCUSE to let their goals slide. They say, OH i'll start after the Holidays, oh I have a christmas party coming up, oh I have too many family get togethers BLAH BLAH BLAH...BUT, It seriously feels like POO when the Holidays are over and all your feel is tight clothes, low energy, and disappointed you aren't 10 pounders lighter instead of 10 pounds heavier...
