Oh, I want that. I'm having leftovers (but no falafel sadly) wrap, too. I'm definitely starting to crave potato salad. Must be summer!

ETA: OK I'm in the wrong thread because this was actually dinner...

brown rice and green lentils fried with garlic, jalapeno and lots of lime juice, and some broccoli with umeboshi vinegar.

two black bean tamales from this adorable vegan food truck up-island. I'll also be sampling a new tapenade I brought in to my work with some surprisingly delicious gluten-free crackers.

Do you mean the one in Parksville? I still haven't gone. Are they amazing?

Sorry this is forever ago, but YES! It's SO GOOD.

Leftover Taboulleh with grilled seitan and an olive-y green salad on the side.

MomMeTrois · **Posted:** Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:35 am

Spagetti with sauce that has extra veggies & hemp protien powder in it. I also brought organic grapes, an orange, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, pretzels and edamame hummus and I'm actually worried this may not be enough food to last me the entire day. Eeeks!

A sandwich (on a rye bun) with smoked tofu, lettuce, cucumber slices and mustard.

lillianp · **Posted:** Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:09 pm

Stir fried veggies with a little bit of peanut sauce and quinoa. Made it early last week, it's time to kill it. (especially since I have TONS of food ideas for this week that I need to start on!!) And salad for snacks.

I can't get enough of the curried chickpea salad from Choosing Raw. Been eating it for lunch pretty much everyday for the last couple of weeks. It's super simple to make and tastes fantastic.

My lunch was awesome today, because it was leftover brunch from yesterday. I had two mini caramelized onion quiches with bell pepper and mushrooms in phyllo crusts and a square of potato spinach square and some fruit salad and a chocolate chip cookie. The quiche and potato thing are in Vegan Brunch. They are yummy!

This morning I packed some Taboule... yay! Made ist with couscous cause it's just the fastest.
This already makes me look forward to my lunch break ^_^

Speltberry chickpea salad and an apple.

I brought a healthy lunch! Same one every day this week (it's easiest to pack 4-5 at once).
Salad: arugula, beets, olives, chickpeas, celery, carrots, tomato, sprouty-bean thingies, croutons
Side of fruit: cherries and blueberries
So much better and cheaper than eating a burrito out every day like I have been for the last month. Yay salads!

lillianp · **Posted:** Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:53 am

Coleslaw, old stir fried veggies with peanut sauce and dry-fried tofu (I made so much and totally underestimated how long it would feed me for), small salad with falafel. Yay for lots of veggies!

Finally back on the bringing lunch bandwagon!

Pearl couscous with bell peppers, onions, and field roast mixed in (leftovers from two nights ago, all mixed together). Cherries.

I'm still on maternity leave, but I had hummus, carrots, and a popsicle. Seriously a lot of hummus and carrots. I need to start packing lunches for when I return to work though. I usually went out to eat before, but now I won't have time.

mollyjade, I love pearled couscous! I only recently discovered it.

Quinoa, chickpea, grated carrot, red onion and tomato salad, with a tarragon-y (shop bought) dressing. And some seeds to sprinkle on top.

I'm at home today so I've had a concoction of almond butter, cocoa, agave and soya milk. I feel sick now!

vijita · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 8:45 am

I'm desperately reading this thread so I can stop just having the vegan items at my work (olives, bread, hummus, tapenade, pickled beets) every single day at work. That's a lot of salt and olive oil. Not that I'm against those things, but it's started to mess with my stomach in the afternoons.

lillianp · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 9:01 am

vijita good luck

Leftovers from last week! Finally finishing off something I made last tuesday. Jerk spice marinated tempeh with collard greens and fried sweet potatoes with some of the marinade mixed in. So delicious. Also, another small salad with falafel for snack and coleslaw for snack. (kohlrabi coleslaw)

Carrots with hummus, and apricots. And homemade granola and peanuts for snacks.

MomMeTrois · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:15 am

Brown rice salad (broccoli, corn, raisins, hemp protein powder, basalmic & nooch), watermelon & sugar snap peas. Pretzels and an orange for afternoon snack.
