Something Delicious

So a good question for you would be, what do you eat when you do not have time to cook? I think that many of us are often too busy too cook. Its always interesting to know how others handle days (or weeks) like that.

My fallbacks have been:

The thin rice noodles that you soak in hot water, with steamed shrimp and edamame and ponzu. The steaming only takes 5 minutes. As long as it takes the water to boil and soak the noodles. Ponzu just gets poured on.
Salads with garbanzos and olives for fat and protein
Leftover soups from earlier in the week or stocked in the freezer
Hummus and crackers
Fruit
Eggs with veggies

Awesome and a good reminder to me to freeze some soup.

When I was working full time and had a busy schedule

I always packed a lunch usually tuna salad and some healthy snacks..so lunch would always be filling

for dinner when i didn't want to cook (during the week)

I would
A. have left overs usually a sunday dinner would last me a couple 3 nights
b. a bowl of cereal
c. quesadilla's (sp)
d. soup
e. chili

cooking for one is difficult for me as i have always tend to lean on the side of cooking for a ton of people.

sometimes i would just eat yogurt, as it was light and didnt sit heavy on my stomach before bed.
