Lunch is officially my new favorite meal of the day.
Hello, friends! As we try and navigate this confusing and unpredictable time together, the last thing we want to think about is what we're going to make for lunch. While we're not quite sure what we want to eat, we know exactly what we don't want — which is usually the stuff that's already sitting in our fridge. Good thing Tasty's got your back!

12. A vegetarian one-pot butternut squash pilaf because when else are you going to make a pilaf from scratch?

Bulk it up with more veggies (spinach, kale, or sun-dried tomatoes are delicious addition) or meat if you're not vegetarian or vegan. Oh, and don't forget a heavy sprinkle of cheese!

13. A fancy schmancy ratatouille lasagna to occupy an afternoon and help you live out your fantasy of a little rat controlling you from inside your chef's hat. (Just me? OK, cool!)

17. Salmon two ways so you can actually have a choice at lunch instead of being forced to eat the same thing for four days because you meal prepped in bulk. One is balsamic soy and the other is garlic paprika.
Tasty
Even the pickiest eater will be happy.

18. A zucchini shrimp scampi because it would be ~shellfish~ to not share this scrumptious recipe with you.
Tasty
Just like it would be very ~shellfish~ for you to not save me a bowl.
