Cooking for the Midweek Blahs

Wednesday, midweek, is when my energy wanes a bit. Even though I begin my day with an hour of invigorating and restorative yoga, which helps me jump-start my day, it does begin to lose its effect by 4 p.m.!
If, on top of that, I have to work late, I am just about spent by dinner time but horribly hungry all the same. This is when I need a speedy but homemade delicious, quick-fix dinner.
I find cooking for oneself underrated…like yoga it can be restorative. The process of chopping and the smells of cooking something simple are super-satisfying and blissful. The pure action of it is grounding.
Just bring together some fabulous pantry and fridge staples and, voila! Happy days are here again, or at least another midweek day with a lovely, delicious ending.
