Chip's lunch: August 27, 2010
I got lazy tonight. And it appears that I've made lunch for a 6-year-old, not a 25-year-old. Oh well...that happens on Fridays, huh? And really...it doesn't get much tastier than "chicken" nuggets and mac and cheese, right? I know this isn't the healthiest lunch I've ever packed, but I don't feel bad about it at all!

Chip's lunch: August 2, 2010
Our fruit bowl had one single pathetic thing in it tonight (after I cut up the banana): a kiwi. Chip eats kiwi, but he doesn't love it. I'm allergic, so obviously I'm not eating it. I told him he could have "chicken" nuggets if he'd also take the kiwi. Sometimes getting lunch packed requires some bargaining!
Quorn chik'n nuggets, barbecue sauce, organic kiwi, Kashi granola bar, banana, salad with organic redleaf lettuce, organic spinach, red onion, organic carrot, and Roma tomato from our garden. I also included a little cup of guacamole for the salad.

Chip's lunch: July 7, 2010
We're back! Chip returned safe and sound from the Netherlands. He got to be at the first stage of the Tour de France, which was an awesome experience. He had a productive and exhausting trip. He saw lots of bikes, ate tons of tasty food, visited his uncles (who live in Den Haag), and even met a greyhound!
Which reminds me. While Chip was gone, another foster fell into my lap (meaning: Chip wasn't here to tell me no). Meet PTL Black Prize. He is a big, gentle, sweet boy, and he fits in here so well. He came to our house last Saturday, and it was the first time I'd had four dogs here. He's really easy, and I think Cal likes having a male buddy around. In other greyhound news, our foster Queenly will be adopted this weekend, and we're really excited about it!
Here's tomorrow's lunch. For the next few days I imagine things will be pretty boring here, because Chip and I are headed to Maryland next week to visit our families. Impending vacation = eating the perishable food that's around and not buying more. The one wrench in these plans is that we pick up our CSA this Saturday. Perhaps Monday we'll have a lunch full of apricots, cherries, lettuce, chard, and sage. Unfortunately there's only one thing on that list that Chip eats. Then again, Branny hides foods her husband doesn't like...maybe I could make some kind of smoothie out of those things? I'm sure it would taste awesome. Ha!
Local green beans, organic steamed edamame with sea salt, Kashi trail mix bar, organic "crispy almonds," organic Sultana golden raisins, organic raw cashews, Speculaas (Dutch cookies that Chip absolutely loves), barbecue sauce, and Gardein 7-Grain Crispy Tenders.

Chip's lunch: August 16, 2009
This is one of my prouder moments. I've been making these vegan carrot spice muffins for years, and for the first time, Chip tried one. This man picks even the tiniest bit of carrot out of everything he eats. I made these muffins once again, and finally his interest was piqued. They smell *so* tasty that he finally had to try one. He did, and he actually loved it! I was so excited for him. They're a health food that tastes like junk food.
Whole wheat rotini with vegan marinara sauce, homemade vegan carrot spice muffin, reduced fat cheddar cheese stick, Mott's no sugar added applesauce, barbecue sauce, and Morningstar Chik'n nuggets.

My lunch: July 2, 2009
This was the first lunch I packed myself to take to school and it was exciting! I attempt to make my lunches vegan. I like to eat vegan, but it's hard to do that when I make dinner because Chip isn't vegan. So...my vegan lunches are a little indulgence for me!
The barbecued tempeh is really easy. I sauteed the tempeh (remember...we were living in a temporary rental without a grill or other normal methods of cooking) in a little bit of vegan margarine til it was cooked through and a touch crispy. Then I added a mixture of 1 part barbecue sauce and 1 part water and cooked it til it reduced and thickened. I added a touch of brown sugar (I seem to like brown sugar in everything), and in the end it only took about 10 minutes.
