Sunday is when I take the time to prepare my lunches for the week or at least lunch for a few days. I like to prepare something that will be nutritious and satisfying. This Red Pepper and Onion Sauce is quick and easy and requires no additional cooking; just place everything in the blender and top on base of choice: pasta, quinoa, rice, or potatoes. I also usually add a can of beans to any recipe I make to boost the protein content. This week I am making black beans and rice with red pepper and onion sauce. You can make the sauce while your rice is cooking and then once cooked, add the sauce and beans and voila, you have lunch for at lease three days!
