Lunch in 15

Lunch in 15…

Cooking can feel overwhelming. For me, some of the trepidation at lunchtime comes around feeling really hungry, and that it might take awhile to prepare something myself.

I was reminded today that ordering something would actually take a lot longer, cost more, and likely require me to make some concessions around what I actually want to eat.

Enter saute pan, and whatever veggies are on hand.

Some veg will want to steam for a couple of minutes to partially soften. I do this with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.

Put a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan and heat. 

While water heats, chop veggies. 

Add harder veg and let soften for a few minutes with the lid on. 

Strain out the water and add oil or ghee.

Throw in the other veggies such as kale, spinach, zucchini, and saute the whole thing. 

Add a dash of coconut aminos, braggs, and/or some olives for fun. 

Various toppings could include, but not limited to: eggs (cooked anyway), tahini, hummus, avocado, legumes….

So fast. So yummy. So satisfying
