One of the greatest work-from-home perks is not having to pack a lunch or worry about reheating leftovers in the break room. Those days are behind me, and I could not be more relieved. I love that I am able to make whatever I want with my fridge and pantry in close proximity, but that doesn’t mean that I want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. My mid-day priority is making quick and healthy work lunches that aren’t totally boring and that will power me through the rest of my day. When I come across lunch ideas that meet those criteria, I become a total lunch repeater, so I am constantly looking for new ideas to add...
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for a little less than a year with no luck. When such a situation occurs, you inevitably start asking yourself the hard questions: Is it her? Is it me? You also, inevitably, as I did, start thinking about your balls — and how to increase your sperm count. You thumb through your personal history: Did I take too many nut taps in college? I wondered.

I’m so glad we made it to March. The days are growing longer already and I love how the spring sunshine illuminates our kitchen. We even spied some fresh green daffodil leaves in the neighbor’s yard yesterday. We’ve just returned from a week in sunny Maui (Grace was delighted by the waves at the beach!), and we’re recovering from some colds that we brought back with us. Asparagus is on its way and we’ll finally have more fresh fruits and vegetables to work with this month. I’m looking forward to cooking my favorite green curry soon, shown below. You’ll find more seasonal recipes in this post! Asparagus Thai Green Curry with Spring Vegetables Easily gluten free and vegan “I made...
