This salad took 5 minutes to make with organic, pre-washed greens and homemade vinaigrette I had in the fridge.

annefood 8yr Don't be afraid @MaureenS ! Fennel is fantastic, both raw and cooked. A nice acidic vinaigrette with some citrus juice in it works really well for raw fennel. And cooking fennel is super easy—preheat the oven to 375. Cut the stalks off the bulb and set the stalks aside (you won't use them for the recipe, but they're fantastic for making veggie stock so I keep them in a ziplock in my freezer with onion trimmings and kale stems and make a stock when I have a bag-full). Cut the fennel bulb into 6-8 wedges depending on the size of the bulb, leaving a bit of stem/root end intact so each wedge stays together. Toss with olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and arrange the wedges in a single layer in a glass pyrex. Sprinkle with parmesan or pecorino cheese, and roast until tender and starting to caramelize.

Forget 50% - my plate was filled 100% with veggies today at lunch!
Fiber helps me stay full and prevents my sugar cravings.
My favorite lunch these days fills half my plate with veggies. Plus protein and fiber help prevent my sugar cravings. And it's DELICIOUS 😋
Recipes for the sweet potato fries and fennel roasted garbanzo beans are on the Anne food blog, plus wild brown rice and steamed local organic asparagus with olive oil and sea salt.
I had one lunch option on the road today- mediocre Mexican fast food. So I did the best I could and got a veg bowl with beans and lettuce.
Not the most delicious lunch, but at least it was pretty darn nutritious given the circumstance!
