Quick lunch idea

 

 

 

I don’t want to give the impression that I find it within me to cook every single night. Because I don’t think anyone can.

Except Martha Stewart. And maybe Nigella Lawson.

But I am a mere mortal. I have not ascended to the domestic goddess ranks.

What I can do, is try to make sure I at least eat something healthy and homemade every day. This just takes a bit of planning ahead.

One of my favorite quick little things to mix up and toss in the fridge for the week is this little salad. A can of cannelini beans, rinsed and drained, two stalks of celery, chopped and a few teaspoons of tahini make for a fantastic little addition to some lettuce for an interesting salad for lunch.

Grams, Liters, Milliliters? Help!

Getting ready for work in the morning, I usually watch Cooking Channel.

My new favorite is Bill of Bill’s Food.

Have you ever seen him?

Adorable Australian accent and even more adorable daughters!

And he cooks simple, delicious, healthy foods.

Like this. http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/bill-granger/apple-dried-cherry-and-almond-loaf.html

I need to make his Apple, Dried Cherry and Almond Loaf ASAP!

I know I can easily find the recipes online, but sometimes I jot them down as the episode plays. Bill is so easy to follow. Same with Nigella. I feel like I can cook along with the two of them.

Except when it comes to measurements.

Grams? Mills? Oven at 175? That can’t be right!

Help!
