Simple lunches are so important to me. When I’m in the zone working at my computer, the last thing I want to do is get up to make a lunch. I typically like to have everything prepped how I do in The Alternative Guide to Meal Prep.
This makes it so easy to just throw together a bowl and keep it moving. All of the lunch recipes in this section are just like that. They can be prepared on the day of or they can be prepared in their separate parts prior to. For example my Caesar Pasta Salad is such a winner in my book and everything can be prepped before hand (or not).
I do like having a full lunch. The middle of the day is when I think we need most of our energy, so healthy nourishing food is the way to go. This will help you make it through the rest of your day without feeling groggy and like you want to take a nap.
These simple lunches are so customizable. If there are things you like more or less of, you can totally adapt to that. For example, in the Cuban Nourish Bowl, I LOVE the crispy plantains, so I always throw in a few extra. Once you start getting the hang of actually being prepared, lunch is such a breeze, you guys. It can be thrown together in 5 minutes or less.
I hope you’ll try out some of these recipes and make them your own!
Crispy baked eggplant isn’t something I was making often. Eggplants have always been such an odd texture to me, and it seemed like everytime I cooked it, it turned to mush. They also tend to stick to your pan pretty badly. So I decided to bake them on some parchment and see if they could […]
It’s officially summer! Coming from winter in NJ, I am so appreciating all of the sun and heat in FL. I wanted to make something that was refreshing and light but also able to satisfy you during that summer cookout – enter the peach panzanella salad. What Is a Panzanella Salad? A panzanella salad is […]
Caesar Salad is kind of all of our starter ‘trying to be healthy as a kid’ salads right? Except it’s not really that healthy at all – it’s mostly croutons and a sh*tload of dressing. I’m changing the game today! It still is one of my favorites so I wanted to put a healthy spin […]
It’s never really that easy for me to ‘turn in’ or ‘clock out’ for the day. Since I work for myself and from home it seems like there are always never ending things to do. As you all know, we moved here to NJ about 8 months ago and went through our first winter! It […]
– Are you still in New Year, New You mode? Or is it fading? I believe in refresh and restarts but I don’t believe in crash dieting. I don’t think it’s good for your body or your mind. Tons of people get so restrictive in hopes of losing weight – then what? What’s going to […]
– Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? If you say you don’t you are LYING and I do not believe you for one second. It’s so comforting and delicious, making it a hard thing to pass up. My intent for this dairy & gluten free version was not eve necessarily to be ‘healthier’. It’s because […]
