Tuesday
My breakfasts have been pretty boring this week...just haphazard bowl meals that aren't very pretty to look at but tasty nonetheless. I had a good-looking meal yesterday though for dinner. I picked up a Greek salad from an eatery on campus and then supplemented with a few things in my dorm room.
The Greek salad is a mix of field greens, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onion, and sprinkling of feta cheese..oh my! This is one of my favorite things to get on campus. Speaking of feta, has anyone tried soy feta? I see it in the store all the time, but I have never tried it. Anyway, along with it I had an Ezekiel pita and a generous glob of tomato-basil hummus.
Wednesday
This evening I have a commitment from 5:00 until 10:00, but I have to be ready to go at the bus stop by 4:30! Sheesh. So...looks like I must pack my dinner--you know how much I HATE that ;) I have a strange love of lunchboxes, so I am excited that I get to use my Fit & Fresh Tupperware today!
What you see here is a pita sandwich with a banana, salted cashews, and banana-carrot juice (more on that later). Inside the Ezekiel pita are Italian Herb tofu, spinach, and salsa. Kind of a strange assortment of flavors, but I didn't have any fresh tomatoes, so we'll call this Italian-Mexican fusion cuisine. I hope it doesn't get too soggy by the time I eat it!
As you may have noticed on the sidebar that I added recently, I am a food product reviewer. I frequently receive free samples of foods from companies that want me to feature their products on VegFamily. Yesterday First Juice sent me a few bottles of their lower-sugar fruit-vegetable beverages (yay for no artificial sweeteners!). It's really meant for young children, but I am sure I will enjoy it just as much. Plus, look at the cool bottle it comes in! I will definitely be saving the container for future use.
Well, I must go to my Cognitive Psychology class now. I will leave you with a few questions: do you pack your lunch/dinner? What are your favorite things to pack? I am always looking for fresh ideas!
