Spring's Here! Quick Meal Ideas Needed
So, spring is here. There's tennis to play, enormous orders to edit, farmer's markets to visit, beach trips to plan, essay portions of bars to study for, and babies to poke.**
I'm apparently out of time. (How in the world does this happen? I'll tell you how. America's Next Top Model Marathons).
Quick and easy super-fast meal ideas are the order of the day, y'all. I generally like the kitchen, but now's the time to enjoy being out of the house . . . (Or watching ANTM reruns. Or reading Empire Falls. But I digress.) I need new ideas and some inspiration. And/or ways to clean out my pantry. Big bags of mixed greens to make fancy salads with just sit in my fridge, and I just cannot make myself eat them. Argh!
What I've been eating lately:
-Annie's Mac & Cheese w/ edamame add ins
- French toast (my new fav food, apparently)
- egg salad
- strawberries on everything
- couscous w/ roasted veggies & olives
-cantaloupe
-coffee. Lots of coffee.
Things that are in my pantry that I need to eat:
Gnocchi
rice
uncooked pintos (nothing speedy about this)
taco shells
corn tortillas
squash
zucchini
staples.
dried cranberries.
What else do I want to eat? What can motivate some healthy cooking? (French toast, while delicious, isn't at the forefront of healthy).

Hey MG! I suggest the squash and corn enchiladas (posted a few times ago) to use the tortillas. I've also found that this Old Wessex 5-Grain Cereal (usu. in the organic or natural foods section, or where you'd find oatmeal) is a GREAT breakfast. Protein, fiber, and quite delicious with dried cranberries. Further, those mixed greens go so well with strawberries, almonds, and high quality feta or goat cheese. That's pretty much my lunch every day this week, plus roasted chicken (about which I'll post soon).
