If you struggle with what to eat at lunch, here’s a yummy solution: Try this spiced chickpea and lentil salad, a hearty and nutritious dish that keeps well for days in the fridge. I made it earlier this week and topped it with some hot honey for a sweet kick. Another option: add in some roasted grapes. However you tweak it, you’ll have plenty of leftovers for meals to come.

And Christopher Waters rounds up some crowd-pleasing and affordable malbecs to help usher in the start of barbecue season. Enjoy!
