This recipe is from SURVIVING TRAUMALAND: The Intuitive Aspects of Healing (www.survivingcancerland.com) QUICKIE COOKING FOR LIFE. This is for everyone with time restraints. “Quickie” includes clean up. This recipe was taken from the cookbook section of my book.

Lunch can be an overlooked meal, especially when medical appointments take precedence in our lives. Everything else must be re-prioritized including family, home and work. Cooking and nutrition can get pushed to the end of the line. After all we’ve endured, financially, medically, and emotionally, including a cranky belly; we need a belly pleaser meal that meets our needs and time restrictions. I dedicate this recipe to all those hard working people, often raising their families alone while undergoing health treatments, and who put their children’s needs first. Not only do they bring home the bacon, they cook it, too.

Throw this lunch recipe together at breakfast time and it will be ready when you are hungry at lunch. It is a childhood favorite that adults love, too. This recipe was taken from the cookbook section of my book, SURVIVING CANCERLAND. Over the next three days, I will post meals—breakfast, lunch and dinner—with the nutritional and calorie information for a time challenged family. Enjoy!
