"I'm late!
I'm late!
For a very important date!
No time to say hello, goodbye!
I'm late!
I'm late!
I'm late!"
White Rabbit's song, from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll
Sometimes this is how I feel. Many parents, working and not working may relate. But do I really have to be pressed with time in order to prepare easy lunch? Making something quick will allow me to spend time on other things that really matter - reading, taking a walk or playing one more chess game.
Really, there is no recipe.
My 6 years old daughter asked to make it for her dinner today.
It was entirely her idea.
Cream cheese sandwich with hemp seeds and vegetables can be excellent speedy lunch.
Take good sandwich bread. I have used sprouted whole grain bread from Trader Joe's.
Spread cream cheese you like - I prefer whole milk to reduced fat.
Wash and cut some vegetables.
Sprinkle hulled hemp seeds on top for added taste and nutrition. Hemp plant has many uses and using hemp seeds for food surprised me first time I have heard about it. And hemp seeds considered to be super food. They are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals. Hemp seeds have pleasant nutty taste that can enhance many dishes, especially fresh salads.
To pack lunch for yourself or your child, fold the sandwich over, cut it to fit into lunch box, add fresh vegetables and it is ready.
