Till date I have been unable to decide if I really like to cook or if I like to feed my loved ones more. Why this lingering doubt? Well if I really liked to cook, then I should love to cook all the time right, including when it comes to making something for myself? Naah! I hate cooking for myself and suddenly find myself to be one of the laziest bum around! I HATE it. Period. That's when I start wishing my dear mom was around to pamper me with her delicious food while I display my slothful tendencies :) Its time like these when I tend to think that I indeed enjoyed pampered childhood (which trust me I never did...but as I said as an afterthought it makes me think this way). To have warm food waiting all ready for me when I got home from work  in those days seems like a blessing to me now. I could just ask my mom to prepare some specific dish cos I was craving for it and find it waiting for me when I got home late at night tired and worn out. It was such a pick me up. Makes me so nostalgic and sad sometimes. Now if I crave something, I have no choice but to move my otiose backside to make it myself which makes "craving anything" not worth it!

But a girl's got to eat - so when it comes to making lunches for myself in the middle of work (working from home SUCKS!), I tend to put its and bits together which give me the freedom to multitask. I started relying heavily on soups and salads for such times. This creation was a result of one such moment. Its immensely simple, quick and nutritious. I adapted this recipe from Giada of Food Network whose original included Chicken and lots of cheese. I left out the cheese since I was using Paneer to substitute Chicken with it and used Spinach Spaghetti instead of regular.
