ok, so i just worked for about 40 minutes in the garden and sweated out twice my body weight. what the hell, heat wave? did i mention we have no central air at the farm? not voluntarily, either. so in the spirit of not creating any (or very little) heat in the kitchen here are some no cooking (or minimal cooking) required lunch ideas:
mama's antipasti plate
nuts
fruit
nutella
cheese
crackers or toasted bread
lunch meat
veggies
put all on the plate and snack away, folks. mine usually consists of almonds, bananas, nutella, blueberries, strawberries, muenster cheese, cheddar cheese, turkey, hard boiled eggs, sugar snap peas, and avocados. friggin' delicious and hendrix thinks he's getting dessert for lunch.
quinoa with yogurt, mesculan salad mix, blueberries, and a squirt of honey
scoop (prepared*) quinoa on a bed of mesculan (or arugula) top with yogurt and blueberries and honey (if you like)
hummus and veggie sandwich
take 2 pieces if whole wheat bread spread hummus on both sides and fill with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, red pepper, and feta.
black bean, corn,* red pepper, and quinoa salad (inspired by summer -my friend not the season)
rinse one can of black beans. steam 1-2 sweet corn (or use 1c. of frozen) cut off cob and mix with black beans, add one chopped red pepper. squeeze one lime over salad, season with salt, pepper, a dash of cumin and a dash of cayenne pepper. mix with a generous scoop of quinoa (prepared*).
that's all i got today, folks, because it's so hot i want to die. on friday, look for more quick recipes and some dessert ideas for the weekend. and we have a little produce left for sale. email clementinespandp@gmail.com
*remember that i was inspired by fellow bloggers to prepare quinoa once a week to use for dishes throughout the week.
**did you know by combining a bean and corn you make a whole protein?
