    Vacation is officially over and it is back to the grind.

    I'm actually ok with getting back into my regular routine - I instantly realized how little water I drank over the holidays as soon as I was back at work with a water cooler 5 feet away from my desk.

    I basically drowned myself in H2O my first day back.

    Another part of my normal routine is meal prepping on Sundays.

    And one of my favorite things to make is this Vegetarian Orzo Chili.

    It comes together in less than 30 minutes and makes enough for lunch for the whole work week.

    I don't know about you, but I'd rather eat the same thing all week than have to think about what I'm bringing for lunch every day.

    This chili is packed with nutritious veggies and fiber filled beans, PLUS orzo that makes this extra hearty and filling.

    Divide the finished product into individual containers for easy access to grab and go on busy mornings.
