Lunch is the meal that many people often overlook. This might be because lunch food has the stereotype of being boring and bland and most people don't have the time to make a lunch in the middle of the day.

For me, there are three components I look for in any recipe, especially a lunch recipe. First it has to be quick, second it has to be healthy, and lastly, it has to be delicious. If a recipe has these three things then it passes my recipe test.

This recipe below passes the test for me by having all three of these components. Loaded sweet potatoes are healthy, quick, and delicious. These sweet potatoes are loaded with, spinach, avocado, chickpeas, and sprinkled with feta cheese.

All of these foods are healthy and all you have to do is throw everything into the sweet potato and enjoy, it's seriously that simple and even more delicious!

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 Sweet Potato

1/2 Avocado

Handful of Spinach

Sprinkle of Feta

Cilantro

Lemon/Lime

Salt/Pepper

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 F

2) Put the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. Then let them cool before slicing. (baking the sweet potatoes does take a little longer, I suggest prepping a few on a Sunday, so you have the week to use them)

3) Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas, and spread them onto a baking sheet. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake for 15 mins (I also advise doing this step in advance/you don't have to roast your chickpeas, but it adds for an extra delicious crunch)

4) Add spinach (you can sauté it if you want!), sliced avocado, crispy chickpeas, sprinkle feta cheese, garnish with cilantro, and add lemon & lime, salt & pepper all to taste!

4) Enjoy!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
