Description
I prefer quick and filling lunches that I could also eat in smaller portions. That’s why I concentrate on legumes and starches when preparing lunch. There’ll be just a bit of veggies to accompany lentils or beans. I have my huge salad bowl with plenty of veggies for dinner.
Soak time: 6 – 8 hours
