I feel the need for something green! My friend Hank came to my rescue the other day with several bunches of Swiss chard that he had just picked from his garden. Normally I do just a simple sauté with Swiss chard. This time I decided to punch it up a bit with some shiitake mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. So good!

“The simplest red, white, and blue fruit salad has strawberries, blueberries, and bananas for the colors of the flag.”
For some the challenge of making lunch is simply to remember to bring it to work, or trying to prep ahead of time. For others, it’s trying to perfect the art of the truly beautiful lunch bento box. One of the places that emphasizes the later, of course, is Pinterest.
A rough search for lunch ideas on the social media site and you will be inundated with the most intricate and sometimes alarming kyaraben bento boxes. Whether your making these for kids, or for yourself, here are a few lunches to inspires you.
Yesterday for The Cooking Cure we asked you to ponder three important questions related to your lunch habits and what you want to change. Are you a bored luncher? Well-intentioned, but don’t follow through? Or are you a serial lunch buyer?
We checked out the #cookingcure hashtag to see how Day 7’s assignment went for you — here are some highlights!
When we began to brainstorm an original recipe to create for our No-Stress Neighborly Nosh Gathering, we knew we wanted a vegetable side dish that even a picky kid would love. A single link of Italian sausage (leftover from a previous pizza night) actually inspired the dish. It wasn’t enough to create a main dish around, but it was just enough to add a little something extra when tossed in with a head of broccoli and a handful of pantry ingredients. A stretch of the imagination later, a flavorful veggie bake was born.

“Get many tastes of summer in a single watermelon fruit salad, mixing strawberries, peaches, nectarines, pears, and grapes in a lemon and mint dressing.”
It wasn’t until about a year ago that I became an avid sandwich eater. Before the fateful day when I consumed The Perfect Sandwich, I never understood the appeal – why not just consume the ingredients in salad form? Why did everything turn out so soggy? But lo’, sandwiches have so much more to offer when done right.
You see, it’s all about the quality of the ingredients (especially bread), and awesome spreads and lots of textures. These 15 sandwiches have all that going on and then some. It’s about time you made your lunchbox proud.
