Saved by the Cupboard!

Tulips in bloom-gardening season is upon us!

Last week was busy at work...and this week will be even busier!  But this blog isn't about how crazy life is sometimes, its about good seasonal food.  So let me tell you how happy I am to be able to open the cupboard and pull out a quick meal.  Sadly this action has led to consuming things like cookies out of a plastic tray or a microwavable dinner.  Well I am hear to tell you it doesn't have to be that way.  The trick to eating good seasonal and food, even in a pinch, is to plan ahead and be prepared for those moments of weakness when hunger is high and time is limited.  Here are my top 3 go to-s as needed last week:
1)  Pasta with frozen pesto (say in lieu of boxed man n cheese).
2)  PB&J made with canned jam, ground peanuts and bread made earlier in the week (in lieu of buying a non descript sandwich from the coffee kiosk at work).
3)  Breakfast burrito- I call it that, but honestly its an anytime burrito so long as you have 1-3 backyard eggs in the fridge.  Add in anything else you can scrounge up, it all tastes good wrapped up in a tortilla! (in lieu of the wraps in the grocery store that have more lettuce than anything else and are always a little soggy).
All of these dishes go great with a side of canned peaches or pears or a spring salad!
