I was out this AM doing errands and stopped for gas. $3.25 a gallon, for a grand total of $27 for half a tank. So I decided to have a really nice lunch. I came home, toasted 2 pieces of sourdough bread, spread them with spicy mustard and used crunchy Cheetos as the filling. Surprisingly delicious! Now I’m going to eat some Easter candy and take a nap. Maybe I’ll wake up to find it was all a dream!
So what yummy things did you eat today?
I am right now eating a toasted croissant spread with homemade lemon curd.
Yes, I will die of a heart attack, but I’ll die happy.
Curse you. I’m on day two of a ten day Master Cleanse. I’ve had nothing but salt water and lemon juice/maple syrup/cayenne pepper lemonade. And now your thread will taunt me. 
A Cheetos sandwich?? That’s a new one on me.
I have a chuck roast in the crockpot for dinner, so for lunch something quick and easy… Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. I usually make grilled cheese with muenster (suprisingly good) to go with it, but not today, today is just the soup.
Would you like a croissant, Whynot? 
:d&r:
Mmmmm…homemade pizza…so good…
munches on it happily
Interesting question. I’ve put out a pan of frozen stuffed shells to thaw for dinner, so lunch needs to be light. I wonder what is in the pantry?
Wolf Brand Chili (no beans!) Just the thing. Loaded up with onions and cheese. Yum!
I didn’t eat breakfast until noon, so I am just having some frozen OJ*
*at my school, you can use your meal plan to buy junk food/prepackaged crap to bring home. I bought some little hospital style OJs with the foil top. Stuck them in our crappy fridge, and they are frozen now. Not bad.
I skipped lunch. Actually I skipped breakfast too. I did have a lovely garlic pizza from Dominoes in the evening though.
Breakfast was a bacon cheese quiche.
I normally don’t cook or eat breakfast (well, except weekends), so that kept me full until just a little bit ago.
I walked over to the taqueria across the street to get my husband a super carne asada burrito about 30 minutes ago. A couple of bites of that was basically my lunch.
I made a pot roast last night, and there’s still about half left, so I’ll heat that up later and dinner will be taken care of.
Why you don’t have your own gourmet chef show on Food Network is beyond me!
Lunch was 7 baked pierogies – potato & cheddar flavor, plain (no sour cream or anything).
So far today I’ve also had a handful of low-sodium Goldfish crackers, a little bit of ice cream, a spoonful of peanut butter, and a handful of peanut M&M’s. Dinner will most likely be some Stove Top stuffing, followed by more peanut M&M’s for dessert. I’m in the mood for a stroganoff Pasta Side or maybe even some tuna & rice (family recipe), but I have no milk and am too lazy to go to the store today. So stuffing it is.
That is supposed to be served over Fritos, you know. Frito Chili Pie is SOOOO good, and soooo bad for you.
I had ham and herbed cream cheese on crackers for lunch. Right now I have some pot roast stroganoff simmering on the stove, waiting for my daughter to come home so I can boil the noodles and add the sour cream. Pot roast stroganoff is where you take leftover pot roast and make stroganoff out of it.
You do realize, of course, that you are now obligated to share this recipe. I am drooling here! Stop torturing me.
Which one? Stroganoff or Frito Chili Pie? In either case, I don’t follow a recipe, I just see what I’ve got and make the best of it.
For the stroganoff:
Saute onions and mushrooms in butter. Add enough flour to thicken, plus some chicken base concentrate. Let flour brown and cook. Add stock from pot roast (which, by the way, has red wine in it). Shred some of the leftover pot roast, add to cream sauce. Cook egg noodles. While the noodles are cooking, turn the stroganoff down very low and add some sour cream, but don’t let it boil. Serve stroganoff over noodles.
If we have pot roast or roast beef, stroganoff is one of the ways we use up the leftovers. See also beef pot pie.
Frito Chili Pie:
Heat up chili (canned is traditional). Meanwhile, chop up onions and shred Cheddar cheese. Arrange Fritos in bowls or deep plates. Spoon hot chili over Fritos, top with cheese and onion. Sour cream and salsa/hot sauce are optional.
I’m craving an English cold pork pie with mustard, but I don’t have any. I think I’ll go and cook some pasta.
I usually have a turkey sandwich and some potato salad, but I’m rather half-heartedly dieting right now, so lunch will be a cup of fat-free yogurt and an apple. I want a Cheeto sandwich, dammit!
Today’s lunch is leftover homemade pizza. If I don’t blast everyone out of the building with the garlic. Honestly, the recipe serves 4, and it used 4 garlic cloves! Yeah, I’m sure others will chime in with “Oh, that’s not much!”, and I’m not usually a garlic complainer. Maybe my garlic was just especially strong.

The Frito thing I knew about. I think it’s some kind of genetic thing that anybody who’s ever lived alone on a budget knows how to make. It just seems everybody, well in the USA anyways, knows about Frito Chili Pie.
The pot roast stroganoff sounds really yum! Now I want to make a pot roast just so I can have some leftover pot roast.
I’ll be having a chicken sandwich and a diet coke.
