As someone who likes to be prepared, I often cook a big batch of something or other on the weekend so that I can portion it out for weekday lunches. This week, I treated myself to a big ol' batch of curry squash with tofu, served over quinoa. The delicious butternut squash was a remnant from the last CSA box of the season, courtesy of the the awesome Andy Watson over at Sprouting Acres farm, who I can't praise enough. The dish turned out to be filling, satisfying and crazy healthy, and it saved me so much time during the week that I was able to relax and enjoy one of my favorite TV shows, "Top Chef." No, I might not cook like Stefan or that dude with the handlebar mustache, but having a homemade lunch ready in minutes feels so much better to my body than nuking yet another frozen tray of factory-assembled, oversalted junk. I feel so grateful to have the resources to cook such healthy, comforting food. So I ask you, what do you cook for yourself that brings you comfort?
