"Finally getting back into a working mom lunch routine with @annieshomegrown (#ad) & @thefeedfeed! I’m reaching back to a lunch favorite from my post college days to get my fill of veggies while saving a little time and money! Nothing makes it easier than this delish Asian - inspired Forbidden Rice Power Bowl topped with Annie’s Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette!
I’m always tempted to order out when I’m on a time crunch, and having a baby hasn’t made it any easier. I keep a bottle of Annie’s dressing in my office fridge along with the ingredients for this power bowl to fight the temptation! Annie’s dressings are made with real, organic ingredients, and I love that the company has a focus on the triple bottom line - with an equal focus on people, our planet, and profit.
Now, even while working from home, I resist the urge to order lunch by prepping my power bowl the night before and enjoying it during my lunch hour. I love to layer the ingredients in a large jar and store in the fridge. Then, I can pull it out at lunch, top with my Annie’s Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette, give it a shake - and enjoy!
Don’t you just love it when your food tastes great and looks pretty too? Lunch time now means more time for baby and puppy cuddles, with a belly full of good eats, and a little extra money in my pocket.
