What's for Lunch?

It's Tuesday, which means I'm home alone for dinner (Phil is at class), and I'm in need of inspiration - and something different from dinner!

For lunch I had:

grilled cheese (sheep's milk) sandwich

runner bean salad

cherries & grapes

but I'd rather not repeat that again at dinner time!

Re: What's for Lunch?

  • I'm alone for dinner tonight, too.  I'm making myself a small whole wheat crust pizza from scratch with a spinach salad.  Trader Joe's has awesome pizza dough that you can buy, and it's super easy to use.

  • That bean salad sounds delish!

    I'm doing a 3 week kick-start-your-metabolism meal plan from Oxygen so I'm eating the same thing for 7 days straight this week.  Boo....but I'll feel better when I'm done.

    Lunch is 4 oz grilled chicken breast, half cup brown rice and at least 1 cup of summer squash.

    Dinner is 6 oz fish, 3 cups salad (with white balsamic vinegar), 1 cup zucchini, and 1 cup asparagus.

    Boring, I know.  Tongue Tied

  • I'm having a boring salad again today for lunch.  I haven't gone grocery shopping in 2 weeks, ACK!

    Whenever I'm alone for dinner, I always make a pasta dish of some kind because MH is not much of a pasta eater and I can never get enough of it. ;)

    Your grilled cheese sandwich sounds tasty thought :)  And lelekay, I'm jealous you have a Trader Joes!  I miss not having it around and yes, their pizza dough is delish...amongst everything else in that place ;)

  • What is Trader Joe's? I don't think we have it in Toronto...

    The bean salad was very tasty. I highly recommend it!

    Amy - can you have herbs and stuff with the veggies? Or salt & pepper at least?

  • salmon stir fry in a curry dill sauce (my mom made it - it's our last day here and i am going to miss her home cooking!)

    i love trader joe's but we don't have one in dallas :( it's like whole foods but super cheap!!

    Yes, I can put seasonings and herbs on the veggies, just not too much salt. 

    Trader Joe's is a specialty grocery store - small and inexpensive.  I love it, but it's always so damned crowded that I hate going.

  • as excited as i am about moving to our new house, one thing i'm sad about is that we'll no longer be walkable to TJ's!  but when i told MH that, he said there was one not too far away - he had clearly had the same thought and already looked it up, haha

    MH and I shared one CPK BBQ Chicken pizza for lunch and we also got a power-sized Jamba Juice smoothie each--pretty filling. We almost had Trader Joe's frozen meals for lunch though, but I think we'll be doing that for dinner instead =)
