Lunch Time

Only three lunches this week, and only two packed by me. I was off on Monday and sick on Thursday. I'm still going strong, though.


People's Food Co-op
Veggie Panini, Israeli Salad, Pecan Pie Bar, Blue Sky Cola


Tuesday I did some grocery shopping on lunch, so I just grabbed some things from the Co-op while I was there, then stopped at home to put up groceries and eat. It was my first time trying the Israeli salad, and I can't say I'm a fan. Where I was expecting some robust herbs, it mostly tasted of mint. I like mint, but I don't like it to be overpowering, at least not when it's used on veggies.


Veggies and Hummus
Leftover Jambalaya, Veggies and Hummus, Orange



Veggies and Hummus
Veggies and Hummus, Almond Butter and Blackberry Jam on a Sandwich Thin, Orange, Cereal Bar


I ended up leaving early on Friday since we were really slow, so only ate the sandwich and the veggies.


I really need to start amping up the creativity factor, though. The last thing I want to do is get stuck in a rut. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  1. I have bought a meal for lunch about twice the last six weeks.  I think that's great since there is so much to tempt a person in a Walmart, but since I basically cook only for me, I have lots of left-overs.  Also, I buy the frozen entrees  on sale to use in a pinch.  Since you like the fresh vegetables, why not add some whole wheat pasta and some kidney beans for a pasta salad, a spinach, apple, walnut salad with raspberry vinagarette , maybe add some craisins.   I really like those.
