Soups & Salads
This lemony asparagus soup is spiced with a touch of curry and gets added richness from “lite” coconut milk and creamy red potatoes. Top it with a dollop of crème fraîche or plain yogurt and serve warm or chilled.
Sandwiches & Wraps
It’s more than a little depressing to forget (or just be too lazy to make) your lunch at home, get caught up in work meetings and deadlines until 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and then be forced by hanger pangs to go out and pay for an overpriced-yet-mediocre salad or sandwich that’s meh at best. In those moments, it’s hard not to curse yourself for not thinking ahead and preparing your own midday meal.
