Lunch Pic and update

Howdy!

The next day I made goji berry chilie from the Dr Fuhrman website. It was better than I expected! 4 stars. I also had the salad with apples pictured from my previous post. Next to the soup/rice/kale container is a container with ground cherries from our farm and oatmeal/ raisin "bread" for breakfast.




Today I am still trying to get over a cold. I have been mainly drinking water and eating raw salads with apples. Hope to be better soon!

New Tote for Lunch


Sometimes I peruse Vegan Lunch Box. One day she posted about Lunchsense lunch box systems. Now I am very enamored by it. However they are a tad expensive and I was not sure if it would fit my needs. The lunch system uses Lock and lock containers. As luck would have it, the local Big Y had the 32 oz container. So I decided to buy two of them and pack my lunch for today in them.

Just an FYI, my usual lunch is a large salad (1 lb of green leafy goodness). However, I wanted a change up. So lately I have been having 1/2 of my salad for lunch and save the rest for dinner. This way I am not always locked into (maybe obsessed is a better word :p) eating my salad all at once and have a little more freedom. Plus I am a recovering foodie.

Well I am pleased to say this worked.


In one of the containers, half is filled with salad (8 oz) and the other half is filled with a cut up honeycrisp apple from our CSA. The other container has 8 oz of steamed kale, brown rice and Eggplant and Chickpeas in Peanut Masala from Fat Free Vegan. Yummy!

This is going to be a fun and interesting experiment. Vegan lunch box is a great resource. Not sure if I am going to be able to have the time to make all the cute things she does.

The other lunch system that I am interested in is
the Thermos Nissan 48 Ounce Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Lunch Tote

But for now, I am going to search for more Lock and Lock and experiment.

Tune in for tomorrow!
