Two Cooks Are a Good Thing

Dinner - Day Two, originally uploaded by sindya.

Week One, Day Two

I had bran muffins (on the run) for breakfast today with banana milkshakes. For lunch we packed sandwiches with hummus, guacamole, cheese and tomato and an orange. In the evening, we made fresh garlic bread, roasted asparagus and lentil soup with carrots, onions and tomatoes. Having someone else to help with the cooking. This being Tuesday, I came home from a long day of class exhausted. Typically I would have grabbed a meal on Telegraph Avenue or heated up a frozen Mexican meal. We snacked on a bit of trail mix before dinner...
