The last bits of summer basil from my garden. Enjoying this fragrant herb daily on pizzas, bruschetta and of course pesto.
Today I was rushing from presenting a nutrition workshop for high school students to getting to school pick up on time. This meant a late lunch in the car. Meal prep is a key factor in being able to choose what I eat when time is not on my side. I planned for today’s rush and pre-made this kale, quinoa and tuna salad with toasted seeds and cranberries.
