Laptop Lunch #7

Yes. It’s been a while, but the leftovers inspired me to pull down the laptop lunch container. Clockwise, starting from top left: chopped up organic carrot, chickpea cutlets, sautéed collards, and spring salad greens. All items are vegan. I microwaved the cutlets and collards for about 1 1/2 minutes without a cover — just wanted [...]

Sneaking in that vegetarian stuff….

Last night, I sort of cheated. It was a Sunday and I had plenty of time to come up with and cook a great meal but I grabbed a frozen pizza and cooked that instead. I invited mother to partake. She did. And she commented on the lack of pepperoni.
Finally, it came out. Yes. To [...]

Lunch: Hot sauce on chicken tenders

I’m sorry.
Earth, I’m sorry that they used a container twice the size of what was needed. I’m sorry it’s a non-recyclable container at all. I’m sorry for the paper napkin that will go in the trash. I’m sorry for the plastic fork that will join the container and napkin. I’m sorry for the chicken when [...]

Lunch: Leftover sweet potatoes, green beans and grapes

Light? Perhaps. But I was full till 5 p.m. yesterday when I ate sweet potatoes so we’ll see today!
Better on the landfill touching, definitely.

Sweet potatoes, mashed, in the green bean container. Didn’t overnuke this time! Was heavenly. Mmmm.
Grapes. The last of the grapes. Not organic. I wish. I know they should be. But at least [...]

Laptop Lunch #6

Wow. Number 6 already? I found a tin of miniature letter cutters and got a little silly with my Laughing Cow babybel.

Clockwise, starting at the top left: Fat-free cottage cheese with bits of oranges and cantaloupe in it. A pile of plum and orange slices. Next is a Laughing Cow Light Babybel on top of [...]

Laptop Lunch #5

I was really looking forward to this one! The shrimp were thawed the night before and nestled in there. I didn’t add anything and ate them cold. I don’t like cocktail sauce. The grapes and cherries were singing their swan songs. Spinach, carrots and light Greek dressing are the bomb diggity.
And I got a [...]

Laptop Lunch #4

The fourth in a series of laptop lunches uses up leftovers and some fruit. Very quick to put together and tasty!

Laptop Lunch #3

Big ol’ picture of a laptop lunch with descriptions of what went in it, what worked and what didn’t.

Laptop Lunch #2

Leftover homemade chicken fried rice (brown rice), cherries, grapes, carrots, celery and Laughing Cow light wedge. Tried to be mostly WW Core but the cheese isn’t.
Didn’t finish the carrots. Not a fan.

In case you’re curious how I transport my laptop lunch, here it is. Some use the insulated bag that they sell, and some just [...]

Laptop Lunch #1

Do I include the laptop lunch as part of my food journal or do I do it on its own? Not sure so I’ll try on its own for now so that I can find them more easily (and in case other folks are looking for them too). But I’ll have a picture on the [...]
