I refuse to do any lunch preparation in the morning. I wake up at 5 and depending upon the state of my hair am out the door between 545 and 6. So there's no brain space to be like, "ohhhh what should I eat at noon?" I also really like the rare treat when I can make a lunch once and not have to prep anything during the week. You're like what're you talking about this prep? Like a salad, you buy the ingredients and then every night have to prepare it so things don't get soggy or gooey or gross.
Anyway, I made these broccoli fritters. EXCEPT, I used 12 oz of broccoli (she used like 7?) and I cut the flour down to 1/4 cup. I did that to use up the whole bag of broccoli and didn't want to dry them out. They're so broccoli-y! Which feels healthy and like the right move. I forgot to add the Parmesan cheese! So maybe they're lacking a little zing. Don't do that. AND, I grated TWO garlic cloves instead of mincing one, DO that. I made a yogurt sauce for the side. DO that, too! As a side dish I had:
I chopped up cucumbers, added some couscous from the other night and threw some cherry tomatoes into that adorable lunch pail my husband bought for me. MEANWHILE, the paprika on the couscous just keeps getting smokier as the days go by! Anyway, it's a nice filling lunch with some crunch, greens, smokiness, and coolness.
