Homemade Salsa for Lunch (with a birth story too)
August 15th, 2012 | Posted by in Lunch - (3 Comments)Since new baby = fewer trips to the grocery store, we’ve been visiting our weekly, neighborhood farmer’s market a bit more regularly this summer than we have in the past.

There are plenty of good reasons to eat a salad – but I know that if I don’t make salad eating easy, it’s less likely to happen. I went a stretch of days without eating a salad (gasp!) and it took me a second to realize it was because I’d fallen behind on food prep. …

Have you ever found yourself eating a grilled hummus and coleslaw sandwich for lunch and wondered how on earth such a concoction happened to land on your plate?
