Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!
I’m an environmentally conscious guy. I love to go out and look at the bounty of nature, admire landscapes, and ponder on the vast expanse of time that had to pass for all of it to exist. But, sometimes it gets real cold out and I’d rather stay inside.

When you want to connect with nature from the comfort of your kitchen, try these!
