    Fast and Easy Spanish Shrimp with Chorizo

    Black Bean and Rice Salad with (another) Citrus Vinaigrette
    How about one more grain salad, real quick. Because lunch. On the one hand, who doesn't look forward to lunch? On the other, who doesn't dread trying to figure out what to bring/make/do. I get bored with lunch before any other meal.[...]
