Speedy Butternut Squash & Black Bean Salad (9)

I love roasting squash, usually with cumin, but the downside is that it takes a long time.  On Monday night, when I got home on the early end, I also wanted to eat dinner on the early end.  So I steamed the squash. I did not want to lose the cumin-y sweet-savory goodness that roasting […]

So somehow, I sort of went on lunchbox hiatus – right after finishing up the Brown-Bag Challenge too (see here for my lessons learned).  I usually catch up on posting my lunchboxes for the week over the weekend, but the weather was so glorious I instead somehow walked 10 miles in two days and spent […]
