What are you having for lunch/dinner?

I'm bored at work, and I'm starving. I'm excited to have lunch, but I'm not eating what I brought. I was lazy and just threw a few slices of bread in my lunch box to make myself some toast with butter smothered on top. What I really want is a salad from Papa Gino's - so I'm going to get it.

I still have no idea what to make for dinner. What are you guys eating?

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

  • No clue! I'm waiting for DH to come up to my parent's house to get their generator so we can go home and run a few things while we pack a bag for a couple of days. We're not estimated to get power back until Sunday.

    We'll either get lunch while we're out, or I'll eat whatever my dad's got. We'll obviously be having dinner with them as well.

  • I'm having my weekly allowance of tuna for lunch... I'm excited.  DH also packed me a pickle. Score!

    NO CLUE what's for dinner.  I feel terrible; DH does most of the cooking and will make me anything I want.  Problem is lately I'm starving but can never decide what I want. I'm having the opposite of cravings or something. Last night we were going to order in but I just couldn't figure out what I wanted and I was getting so hungry that we just ended up making breakfast for dinner.

    Sorry, I'm no hlep.

  • Lunch is going to be a hummus/turkey/pea sprout wrap. Probably with some tortilla chips. Dinner will be pulled pork with roasted potatoes and green beans

  • You ladies are making me hungry.
  • @LuckyAngel07 That stinks about the power. Hopefully it will come back on sooner than that.

    @PandPMeant2Be I had breakfast for dinner Tuesday night. I made pancakes, scrambled eggs, and turkey bacon. It really hit the spot. I think I might have tuna for dinner tonight. That sounds good.

    @iwalktheline your dinner sounds so yummy, but DH and I really don't eat pork...

    I just feel bad because DH has been working so much lately, and I want to have a nice dinner for him when he gets home from training. Lexi has ballet tonight so I'm just trying to find something fast and easy to make.

  • Bagel sandwich with cream cheese, ham, and pickles. Mmm....

    Not sure about dinner. We had chicken fajitas last night so maybe just leftovers.

  • I'm going to make tilapia with rice and some brocoli for dinner. I just don't know how to make the brocoli :-/ lol
  • No idea about dinner...but I think I'm going to head to our office park's cafeteria to get a grilled cheese for lunch.

    ALSO...let me recommend this.  On my way back from my 32 week check-up, I stopped at Starbucks and got their chocolate croissant.  Yeah....sooooo good.  They're heating all of their pastries up now and they're sooooooo much better.  I really want another one now.

  • I'm having a spinach salad with feta, mandarin oranges, strawberries, nuts and craisins - I've had it all week and it's amazing! 

    For dinner, we're having shepherd's pie left-overs. That tilapia and rice sounds really good right now though, @bridget0117!

    That just sounds sooooo good! 

    I always have broccoli and rice with my tilapia. I just boil it with no salt then mix it with the rice when they are both cooked through. I like my broccoli crunchy though.

  • @smbenevides1989 I might try that but I want it separate from the rice since I don't really like brocoli. DH loves brocoli and I always promise to make him some but never do since I'm not a fan. Lol.
  • I'm going to make tilapia with rice and some brocoli for dinner. I just don't know how to make the brocoli :-/ lol
    I always steam mine, then toss it with a little olive oil, a little salt, and garlic or garlic powder. So yummy!

  • Lol I just noticed I misspelled broccoli, sorry everyone. :\">
  • Well... I brought pasta with kale for lunch but some of my office buddies are going to Five Guys, and I have no willpower so I'll be joining them.

    For dinner we're having sausage and peppers for something other than chicken for once!

  • @ljraff29 Mmmmm Five Guys.  So jealous.

    I brought a salad and this carrot soup that's not very good.  But I really want my mom to come in and meet me for lunch at the chinese restaurant, but it looks like it isn't going to work.  So craptastic lunch it is.

    Dinner is going to be cheese tortellini and garlic bread.

    It's for this very reason I curse my body for being an idiot and rejecting gluten! This is by far one of my favorite meals! Oh gosh, what I wouldn't do for cheese tortellini right now...

  • @goodwolf Because I'm a bad influence, but these are actually what we're having.

    The PCOS diet emphasises on GF, so I've been trying it, and these are pretty good.

    YOU SHUT RIGHT UP. I've looked ALL over the stores here in town! I think I'll have to talk DH into letting me order one... hundred of these. All food sounds inferior now that I have this option! Thank you :D

    Their butternut squash ravioli is to die for!  Although the sun dried tomato w/ goat cheese left something to be desired, and I really don't think it was the GF pasta.  It was more the filling.

    Do you have a Hyvee near you?  Ours carries a few different tortellini options that aren't bad.  Not as good as this place, but still satisfy the craving.

    If you can't tell, I'm a pasta girl.
