Mmm Salad

For as much as I love food I always seem to have trouble putting together a good lunch for myself. For some reason when I go grocery shopping I tend to neglect the middle of the day meal. I have plenty of food for breakfast and dinner, but it all takes time and thought which is not something I like to apply to lunch.

Yesterday I managed to find the perfect lunch hiding in my fridge. If only I could manage to be creative every day at noon. The problem is at that time of the day my brain is usually focused on cake. But not yesterday! I scavenged and found some pancetta left over from a gnocchi dish I made last week, red bell pepper I had just roasted, gorgonzola, and some dill. I cooked the pancetta and bell pepper with some olive oil and garlic then tossed it in with the dill and cheese in some spring salad mix. I made a dressing with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallots and pepper. Yum! It was a very happy lunching indeed.

Tomorrow I will be writing about the bacon brownies I will be making this afternoon.
