roll. Heat marinara sauce. If you have time try a quick saute of

onions mushrooms, bell peppers, salt and pepper. Drizzle balsamic

cheese slices (available at Ralphs), grab your napkins and have fun.

 

Keep a Tupperware container filled with a varied salad such as salad

greens, chopped carrot, radishes, celery, cherry tomatoes and

cabbage. It becomes accessible and always ready for you to nibble.
