This Single Step Has Changed My Meal-Prep Attitude Forever

Game-changing recipes for vegan barbecue sauce, avocado chimichurri, restaurant-style salsa, and more.

getpocket.com

I have eaten hundreds of lunches that practically bored me to tears...The problem, I eventually realized, with many of my meals was that they were dry.

Even hummus, though not a sauce, brightens up most any lunch. Your dip, condiment, or sauce should work hard to make any meal, no matter how simple, feel fancy.

I’ve found that spicy sauces tend to make even cold lunches more exciting, and a simple lemon-tahini mixture is hard to get tired of. Your tastes, however, will dictate your own meal-prep preferences.

Easy Panzanella Salad

Panzanella Salad is a classic bread salad bursting with fresh flavors! Cubed bread, vegetables & fresh herbs are tossed in a tangy dressing.

www.spendwithpennies.com

What is Panzanella? Panzanella is a Tuscan bread salad, usually dressed with a balsamic and olive oil vinaigrette. Traditionally, it was made with cubes of stale bread.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

When I was a young child and money was tight, my mother used to keep stale bread to make something she called "pobs" (which years later I assumed was short for "pieces of bread") by cutting the bread into cubes, pouring hot milk over them, and adding cinnamon and sugar. Tasted yummy.

Or just go to Olive Garden and get togo containers after having unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks

Actually, Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant along with Taco Bell. Olive Garden for the addictive breadsticks, homemade minestrone soup, and perfectly cooked salmon. The salad is good too, but they sell their wonderfully salty salad dressing at the grocery stores. I love the $10 lunch specials too, and their occasional deal where you can buy pasta to take home for $5 (or $7 in Canada).

And I still like Taco Bell more than most "authentic" Mexican restaurants because of Taco Bell's black bean selections. (My husband is friends with a Taco Bell manager, so I recently acquired an exclusive Taco Bell hoodie, which I love wearing )

But I rarely go to Subway anymore since I make my own subs now with whole-wheat hoagie rolls from the grocery store bakery. It tastes even better than Subway if I use premium cheeses from the deli or pickled onions, etc.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I love Taco Bell as well, although I don't get to go there these days. Subway is great when the breads and other ingredients are fresh. They need better mandatory quality control over their franchisees. But there is one really good one not far from me.

I've never been a fan of The Olive Garden, though I have many friends that are. I find their food to be okay but nor great for their pries. Mind you, that's up here in Ottawa and I've only been to one of their restaurants. Maybe that's a quality control issue as with Subway?
