Ok … perhaps I’m a tad bit nosey, but it also provides some good ideas how to mix it up a bit with your own lunch choices.
My lunch choice today is a basic salad (lettuce, cukes, cherry tomatoes and salami) with Lighthouse Bleu Cheese dressing.

Nothing. My job is sufficiently sedentary that I only eat two meals a day.

Still deciding. Could get a sandwich or something from the cafeteria, or I could just get a package of ramen from my car. Regretting putting back the leftover wings and fried rice I had taken out of the fridge this morning, but I guess I’ll have that for dinner tonight.

I had the last of the leftover southwest chicken corn chowder I made the other night. (I have more that’s in the freezer, but that’s for some night where I don’t feel like cooking OR going out to eat.)

I get free food once or twice a week at work and today was wraps. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and a pack of mixed nuts.

The cafeteria menu promised Mushroom Bisque, so I was all fired up for a bowl of soup.
But they lied! It’s chicken noodle!
I was so upset I decided to console myself with hummus and carrot sticks.

Went to Brueger’s Bagels, bought an egg salad, bacon, arugula, and red pepper on chibatta sandwich with a small bag of BBQ kettle chips. Yum.

I bought a sandwich that they called the “Turkey Dinner”. It was Turkey bacon and cheese with cranberry spread. Really yummy.

I cut up the half a steak I had left over from last night’s dinner and it’s simmering nicely in a big pot of veggies and various spices.
I’m having vegetable beef soup!! 😃

Bumped to say I wanted something different for lunch, so had cheesy pasta with homemade Parmesan sauce & strawberry applesauce… a grownup version of a kiddie lunch… delish!

Chicken stew and tater tots. I put the tots in the oven Sunday night, then let them cool and combined them with the stew (which has a good mix of veggies in it) in a pint mason jar.
Took the jar out of the work fridge and nuked it. 🙂
