Let’s tackle the problem of meal skipping. Nurses most commonly miss out on a serious lunch, as work demands get in the way of finding time to eat.

Are you one of those nurses who are notorious for skipping meals and then eating unhealthfully when you get a free moment? Recipe to the rescue!

Make this one ahead of time and pop it in the fridge. The beauty of the recipe is that you can pick your favorite noodle, add in chicken or salmon, put in all sorts of your favorite veggies…or take out what you don’t love. Pasta salad is super forgiving that way…

Adding fresh corn bread, a whole-grain baguette or a slice of crusty French bread turns a delicious salad into a full-on meal.

This great recipe can provide a nutritional wallop and keep your body energized for a long shift.

Feeling a bit disheartened at the thought of facing the same old sandwich in your brown bag at work? “Spread” a little creativity to liven things up!

While there’s nothing wrong with PB&J or tuna fish for a simple lunch or dinner at work, wouldn’t it be a real treat to have a zesty meal that takes only minutes to put together and uses inexpensive ingredients?

We know that as a busy nurse, you may not have time to comb through recipe books to find dinner ideas, brown-bag lunch options or a tasty dessert for your neighborhood potluck.

The current bevy of beautiful veggies makes it an ideal time to prepare a simmering dish that will provide a hearty supply of brown-bag lunches long after the season’s bounty has waned.
