Quick and Easy Can Make for Good Lunch Too

Sometimes you need lunch to be QUICK and EASY, right? So do I.

This picture isn't as cute as a lot of them I've taken of my lunchbox because, hey, my lunchbox isn't in it, only a brown paper bag. But that's okay, this particular lunch didn't fit in my regular bento. In a way this was a "thrown-together" lunch whipped together in under five minutes from the produce drawer of my fridge and the shelves of my pantry. You know what? It turned out to be one of the most satisfying, and more importantly, it taught me a lesson. The lesson that you don't ALWAYS have to go into huge planning and effort for the little lunchbox.

The contents of this are: some beautiful green beans that I quickly rinsed (didn't dry) and steamed in the microwave wrapped up in a paper towel and then spread out on the counter to cool while I packaged up the rest. There's a handful of granola, this happens to be my own homemade, a small handful of dried cranberries mixed with a few walnuts, and a bean and cheese burrito quickly prepared of pre-shredded bagged cheddar and a scoop from a can of refried beans that I always keep a can or two stapled in my pantry. Voila, there it is. No fuss, no muss, but a tasty and nutritious lunch. Sometimes the biggest lesson in life for me is that not everything has to be complicated to be good.
