Easy AND Healthy Lunch For 1

We eat a lot of simple foods. With eating no meat this year, it got a lot simpler. We have a steady diet of noodles, quinoa, bread, rice, and tortillas. I mean, what else is there? We don't have gluten intolerances, so that's not an issue. That's not even mentioning how many fruits and vegetables we eat, and there are a LOT.

This is such a simple lunch, heck, even dinner. I have it when I have a day off work and Tim is working:

You'll need:
Package of noodles (For gluten free, buy gluten free noodles or cook a spaghetti squash)
Spinach
Tomatoes
Dressing of your choice (we use Briana's brand, some garlic vinaigrette that has no processed sugars)

Start cooking those noodles. While they are cooking, grabbed your desired amount of spinach and roughly chop it (can be done by loosely rolling the spinach leaves like a burrito and cutting them); Add those to your bowl. Remember, spinach shrinks like nobody's business so add more if you like it!

Cut your tomatoes now! Set them aside.

When the noodles are finished, drain (this is where I take some out and put them in bowls for the kidlets and add some Italian sauce). Add noodles to your bowl, placing them on the spinach but not mixing. I put a plate on top of the bowl and tend to the kids who usually want more by then. They are quick.

The spinach should be shriveled by now! If they aren't you can wait a few more minutes or pop them in the microwave in your BPA free bowl. Add your sauce and tomatoes, mix everything up and enjoy.

If your life is anything like mine, you won't be able to eat it for about an hour, and it's perfect by then!
