Friends know that two of my New Year's resolutions is to cook at home a lot more and to eat a lot more protein. Tonight (and tomorrow for lunch), pasta with chicken and an "arthritis-friendly" pesto sauce, made of avocados instead of cheese, spinach instead of basil, and almonds instead of pine nuts. About 40 minutes altogether, for those thinking of making it for their WFH lunch break.

Two of my related New Year's resolutions are to set aside an hour of my freelancing day to make an actual healthy lunch (as opposed to my usual pandemic routine of a peanut butter sandwich and bag of chips), and to start getting a lot more protein in my diet, because I'm 53 and desperate for it. For now I'm picking one simple chicken-based dish each week, then making it three times (the other two days being French omelets). This week, chicken Caesar salads!
