Day 3: Homemade Fast Food

Today has been a good day so far. I think the anticipation of the weekend is helping to keep me on the sane side. I have plans to go to the movies with my friends tonight. Between coming home from the gym and getting ready for the movie the brief period of time I’ll have to prepare a well-rounded meal is going to prove to be a challenge.

When I was living by myself and I didn’t feel like cooking, which was often (I much prefer to make food to share with other people, cooking for one person always seems uninspiring to me), I usually ate cereal. I’ll admit that a big bowl of bran flakes with a banana can, at times, be a dinner to look forward to. But tonight I’m hoping to make something that doesn’t scream “I-only-have-30-seconds-to-make-a-meal!”.

The cogs in my head are turning. As I write, I’m picturing all the food in my cupboards and my fridge. I’m thinking Tuna Pasta with a side of steamed broccoli. I’ll keep you all posted later and let you know if I ended up making this or if I took the easy way out and made breakfast for dinner.

What do you make when you’re pressed for time?
I could use some ideas!
