I had leftover Moroccan Tagine with Spring Vegetables (from VWAV) and couscous.

today's lunch was lentil, brown rice & collards soup, a pb granola bar and I have a cara cara orange and an apple for snack later.

I made the "vegan bowl" from the bowl section of AFR. If you're lazy like me and don't want to look it up, it's just brown rice, steamed kale (but I had broccoli...I still don't have enough kale love in my heart), baked tofu...I made the recipe from AFR, and it's all topped off with the Caesar Chavez dressing. It was so good but I only got to eat half thanks to a 10 minute window between classes. I have everything ready to take it again Thursday.

SO EASY. Leftover firm tofu, drained and cubed + half a bottle of beer you didn't find yourself finishing (in this case, Beerlao) and the end of a bottle of BBQ sauce (in this case, a random bottle without corn syrup from a freaking security group at a freaking trade show), marinate overnight, and bake on a lightly oiled sheet at 400F for 25 minutes, flipping once and basting with some leftover marinade.



I ate my for-work-lunch chickpeas and old rice for breakfast today, and hopefully, will have some simmered black beans, rice, and roasted broccolini to take with me tomorrow.

I brought some leftover smokey tempeh and greens stew (AfR), a piece of cornbread (sort of AfR), and a clementine.

I brought leftover curried chickpeas and cauliflower from last night's dinner, along with some whole wheat sourdough bread. For snacks, I had dry cereal, some roasted nuts, clementines, and pineapple chunks.

A "bowl" of sorts. A bed of romaine tossed with homemade red wine vinaigrette and cucumber slices, with warm slices of Bryanna Clark Grogan's breast of tofu and warm brown rice, with a tablespoon of hummus in the middle. Tasty and filling. I love warm food in salads, especially in the winter.

Mixed salad with yellow pepper and cucumber and cut-up tofurky sausage. (The Italian version tastes almost exactly like my baked travel sausage recipe made with Italian herbs and spices!)
Some Swedish Berries. Tea.

Leftover thai roasted root curry from AFR & eggplant curry or whatever from kathy hester's slow cooker book. And a clementine!

more hominy-bean-'n-rice mix with some semi-homemade (i bought the corn torillas and spiced them up) baked torilla chips with lime juice, ancho chili powder and garlic salt.

What is hominy?

Another early shift, picked up a skinny soy mocha on the way (wee!) and brought a banana and two fiber cakes from Trader Joe's. Wish my banana were riper though.

hominy is dried corn without the hull and germ. it looks like kind of like puffed up corn and tastes delicious (a bit like barley but fluffier)!

Lunch today:
Salad Wraps- spinach tortilla, avocado, hempseed, sprouts, spinach, jicama, fresh basil. plus a side of heirloom tomatoes and marinated olives and garlic, and two nectarines.

We started moving yesterday and the contents of my kitchen are currently split between our old house and our new one, so I had an Amy's tamale verde frozen dinner for lunch.

I didn't go to work today (snow day!) but I ate what I was planning on bringing to work at home. Mac and cheese with ctate's queso, black beans, and broccoli.

leftover ethiopian split peas, potatoes and peas with injera.

curried quinoa with ginger, garlic and onion, mashed sweet potatoes and kidney beans mixed in.

oh man, that sounds awesome Love Child!

lunch for me today: 1/2 a can of Jyoti punjabi chhole chickpeas over brown rice topped with scallions & cilantro.

boring today... a sandwich with tofuky, avocado, mustard, and mayo plus grapes and blueberries to snack on.

I really need to be home some evening so I can make food that isn't a sandwich!

2 bananas I picked up at the gas station :(
I am not good at this remembering to pack lunch thing. At all.

Fee - i don't know where ya live, but if it's cold where you are you can always put your lunch in your car the night before. i do this on cold nights. sometimes i'm a bit of a zombie in the morning and just forget.

I just had the last of the roasted chickpeas and really old white rice for breakfast with some srichacha. Lunch is hasitly packed black beans, tortillas chips, ffl queso and a clementine.

Quinoa, TONS of kale (I'm actually a little afraid), and tofu with Trader Joe's teriyaki sauce.

A bagel for toasting with some tofutti to spread on one side and roasted red pepper hummus for the other. Cucumber for topping the bagel. 3 clementines, an apple, some fresh pineapple I couldn't resist buying at the grocery store, a handful of PB pretzels.

Kidney bean masala and - yup - a baked potato. Masala was in a bag that reminded me of space rations, but it was darn good.

Supergreen bowl from AFR!
