The Eyes Eat First
With a little imagination you can take an everyday lunch into a luxury realm. I think food that looks good always tastes better, so I make it a point to make my food beautiful. My wife was working hard on a project for work when I asked her "what do you want for lunch." She responded "vegetables, lots of vegetables." I try to keep fresh ingredients on hand and take a mental inventory daily. With prior preparation it took ten minutes to assemble, style, photograph and serve her lunch. If you add five minutes of clean up you have a fifteen minute time investment. The cost was less than two dollars. I bet you can't match that in a restaurant. My wife's smile was a large reward for such a little time and effort.

That's lovely, not only the food but the caring intention behind it.
You probably may not believe this but I have been eating a lot more salads. This one looks pretty as a picture.
