Mine consists of moist wheat bread, sliced baby carrots, tuna with plenty of mayo and a slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese. I sliced the baby carrots down their middle, length wise, so they give a satisfying snap as I bite into the sandwich. Gotta say, not too bad. Oh, and I washed it down with the remaining flat ginger ale in a cold 2 liter bottle (the only way to drink it!). So, what did you have? ---

Mine is Cup O Noodles and some Chef Boyardi heatable ravioli because I totally ran out of food at home. ---

Well, I got up at 3:30 this morning, so I’m not sure “lunch” really fits into the day (Oh, and my hubby won’t be home until about 7PM, so a late dinner is guaranteed). So, a couple hours after I got up, I had some peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread. Then, around 10:30, I fixed myself a grilled cheese and some cream of tomato soup (again, whole wheat; I typically don’t keep white bread in the house). Right now, it’s almost 2:30 and I’m getting ready to take a (previously) frozen beef pot pie out of the microwave. I’ll butter the crust before I nom it. Butter. Proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. 😉 ---

Healthy Choice Steamer - chicken and noodles and veggies, plus a can of vegetable Soup-at-Hand to offset the lack of salt in the former. Blech. ---

Two hot dogs, some BBQ chips and a can of Coke. This was a real treat since I had some teeth pulled recently and these all represent foods I’m not supposed to be eating - or at least wasn’t supposed to eat. Being vaguely naughty makes an otherwise mundane meal taste good. Much better than cold, bland soft foods, anyway. ---

Fresh garden carrots that are super sweet. Barley and gravy. Roast beef and gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Later on I had chex mix I was making. Today is a cooking day. I may do some cookies next. My niece has a birthday party Sunday. I’m also tempted to bake a pumpkin from the garden. ---

I was at home today, so I got something something a bit better than usual. I took the idea from the [EatingWell Serves Two](http://www.amazon.com/EatingWell-Serves-Two-Healthy-Suppers/dp/0881507237) cookbook for making quick pizzas: I took a piece of whole-wheat flatbread (sold near the pita bread) and topped it with mozzarella and provolone and thin-sliced red peppers and baby fennel. Baked for 10ish minutes at 350 till bubbly and crispy. ---

Leftovers. Made pasta for dinner on Tuesday with leftover turkey from Thankskgiving, a red pepper, and onion in a rose sauce. Now that I’ve eaten it that’s it for the turkey. Huzzah!!! ---

Chicken makhani, palak paneer and beef kofta. Yes, I went to an Indian buffet - why do you ask? I only allow myself to go out a maximum of once a week for a meal, so I really went all out. Unfortunately, if my puffy ankles are anything to go by, I’m paying for it now. Time to go for that walk and de-swell. ---
