If the holidays have you wanting to shed a few pounds or just eat healthier, take a clue from the diets of the Ancient Romans and look to menu rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts, beans, herbs, and spices. Sounds like my kind of lunch!
If lunches have you feeling bored, skip the leftovers and opt for planned-overs. The difference? Leftovers means having the same thing you had the other day. Planned-overs means making sure you have the right combination of items on hand to make something new.
Sometimes you find a creative side dish that's simple, delicious, and actually works well for all kinds of meals ranging from a traditional breakfast to a backyard barbecue. Guess what's lurking in this post?
Every once in a while, I share lunch with readers. And by that, I mean I let folks know what I had on a particular day, not that you should be expecting a delivery at any moment. That said, this one's simple enough that you might want to take a few minutes to make it for yourself!
Sometimes, you want a meal that can act as a flexible filler during a busy week. Maybe you are caught up in holiday preparations and you want to be able to make a fast dinner during the week or you have people visiting from out of town and you want a special brunch dish. It's nice to have recipes that will work in both cases.
