Food as fuel.

To know and love a doctor, nurse, or EMT is to accept that dinner time might often be a very rushed affair. For our first responders right now, "cooking" might be warming up a carton of soup and "dining" might be grabbing a handful of granola before the next shift starts.

These are dinners that work well when cooked in a big batch and reheated throughout the week, and they can be easily customized to your pantry's contents. These are the recipes we personally turn to when we're feeling harried, or just don't have the time to luxuriate in slowly cooking.

You can also top your hummus with spiced ground meat, a handful of olives, or toasted nuts.
