The Best New Way to Bring Your Lunch I’ll admit it—my workday lunches can get pretty boring. I always think I’m going to finally make use of all those delicious recipes I’ve been pinning away, but then nighttime rolls around and I’m too busy watching really important things like The Bachelorette and Vampire Diaries. And then morning comes, and I’m running around like a headless chicken and I’m lucky if I remember my keys and bus pass on the way out the door, let alone find time to throw a tasty lunch together. But with a teensy amount of planning, delicious lunches can be just a few easy steps away. All it takes is a trip to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon, a couple pantry staples, some mason jars, and an hour of your time. Why mason jars, you might ask? There really are only two rules to the mason jar salad: Start with the dressing or sauce, and end with the lettuce and herbs. The best part is you can make five salads at a time, and they’ll stay fresh for the whole week—just grab and go on your way out the door!

Why are we talking about baking bread on Lifehack? Because kitchen hacks aren’t just impressive, they often have very tasty results! You may have heard of “no-knead” bread before.

giovanna Nací en Parma, en el norte de Italia y me crié con jamón y parmesano. Cuando llegué a Barcelona, hace casi 20 años, para terminar mi tesis doctoral en biología molecular de las plantas, sabía mucho de probetas y ADN y de cocina casi nada. Pero comer me encantaba… Luego llegaron cuatro hijos, todos varones y sustituí las probetas por los pañales! Y ahí, entre una papilla y otra, me puse a experimentar con sartenes y cazuelas, y a sacar viejas recetas de familia. Me apunto a un curso en una conocida escuela de pastelería, hago practicas en un buen restaurante de la ciudad y en dos excelentes pastelerías y casi sin darme cuenta mi hobby se convierte en mi nueva profesión. Frente a los fogones de los restaurantes prefiero mi cocina, que transmite calor y serenidad. "La cucina italiana"... Mi cocina está abierta para todos los que quieran aprender a amar, preparar y disfrutar de la buena comida.
