Turn lunchtime into a mini Mediterranean cruise.
Most people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I think there’s a case to be made for lunch.
After all, for a lot of us, the lunch hour is the only break we really get in the middle of a long day of work. When you know you have a good lunch packed, it gives you something to look forward to all morning. And when you finally get to enjoy that lunch, it gives you a boost to keep you going all afternoon. It can mean the difference between a good day and a meh one.
For me, one of the best ways to give myself a lift at lunchtime is with a meal that has exotic foreign flavor. Take this Easy Mediterranean Lunchbox, for instance. It has all the flavors of the Mediterranean – lightly seasoned grilled chicken, chewy pita bread, garlicky hummus, black olives, cucumbers, and little cherry tomatoes – all packed into one little lunchbox.
Opening the box at noon and unwrapping all those delicacies is like turning my lunch hour into a really short, sun-splashed Mediterranean cruise. It’s just the “vacation” I need to refresh me for the rest of the day.
