Lazy Lunch: Fennel and Cottage Cheese

Perhaps you'll recall the phrase, "Keep It Simple, Stupid." Well, I like that phrase. When it comes to being healthy, it couldn't be more true. And when it comes to throwing together a quick lunch for the office, it is super helpful to remember.

For this meal, all you have to do is cut up one bunch of fennel (ditch the leafy part), spread out on a broiler pan and spray lightly with a non-stick spray. Stick it in the oven one rack from the top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The perfect easy-but-different vegetable.

And for the laziest and healthiest 27g of protein you may ever eat? Just over 3/4 cup of 1% cottage cheese with loads of pepper.

That's it! Now you can accomplish something else with all that spare time. Or maybe take a nap.
