Since suddenly being thrust into the roll of full-time father of three, there are things that I seem to have trouble getting accomplished as readily as I did before. having three boys in the house tends to make me forgetful. I forget to finish laundry, walk away from dishes, forget where I put my keys and sometimes I even forget to eat.
I know that not eating isn’t healthy. I would never let my kids go without a meal, but in the dead heat of the day, I’m finding that remembering to eat before dinner has become a challenge. To try and get myself to eat a more balanced and more creative diet, I’ve begun telling myself that lunch is the perfect time for foods that the kids probably won’t eat.
Doing so has made remembering lunch more fun. I know there won’t be an argument over what’s served and that I can eat the things I love with abandon. Just feed the littlest, put him down for a nap, then go crazy trying out new flavors. I’s an almost guilty pleasure that I’m happy to say has been effective. I haven’t forgotten lunch in a few days.
This is a simple dish, but packed with flavor. I opted to skip noodles or rice this time, more for the sake of getting it on a plate than for any other reason. It held up on its own, but without some form of starch, I’d call this a great side rather than an entree or full lunch. In any event, give it a shot, I think you’ll like it!
