Here is an easy dinner idea for those busy days when you need something quick or feel like saying, "it's a bowl of cereal night" for dinner.
Make soup once every month or two and freeze it. Then it's ready to warm.
Then follow with a granola parfait. Dinner is ready in the time it takes to warm the soup and assemble the parfait.
This is a fabulous, balanced menu, but if you are motivated to add more, here are some suggestions. Add a few slices of charcuterie or a first course of crudités- raw veggies or a simple pasta like Pasta Carbonara made with bacon and eggs. Burro e Salvia, another Italian classic, is pasta with butter and sage. Don't be deceived by the simplicity- it's divine, family-friendly, and sage is rich in nutrients. You can also freeze butter and sage so it is on hand when needed.
