Chip's lunch: January 6, 2011
This one was thrown together quickly in the morning with leftovers. Like our fried rice, this pad thai recipe usually makes about three servings: one for each of us for dinner, and one more for Chip's lunch.

Chip's lunch: October 7, 2010
Who doesn't love some good pad thai? We keep it simple, with just noodles, sauce, broccoli, and tofu. To be authentic, we should probably add some peanuts, among other things, but we like our American pad thai!
We used Tofu Plus for this recipe, which is tofu that has added vitamins, specifically those that vegetarians and vegans can lack (like B12). I'm not usually one for fads or gimmicks, but since it was on sale, I decided to try it. It tastes and cooks just like regular tofu. We enjoyed it, and if it's ever cheaper than our regular tofu again, we'll definitely buy it.

Chip's lunch: August 13, 2010
We had a really busy day yesterday, but I was able to pull off a decent dinner. We had pad thai, which is great because we always have leftovers. I spent 7 hours yesterday driving stinky greyhounds around, and then I brought home our latest foster: J Ditto's Darci. She's a teeny little thing, and pretty nervous, but is doing well overall. Once we get her some antibiotics for her UTI and skin infection, and then get her spayed and her teeth cleaned, she'll be all set.
I gave Chip a choice between 6 peanut butter and jelly rolls and a small container of applesauce, or 3 rolls and a whole apple. He told me (and this seriously surprised me) that the peanut butter and jelly rolls are his favorite thing to find in his lunchbox, so he wanted 6. His favorite thing of all...more than chocolate, cookies, cupcakes, and pizza. PB&J rolls. I learn more about this man every day.
Oh, and Chip will be in California all week, so we'll be taking a short break here.

Chip's lunch: May 6, 2010
I made this lunch wanting to fill it with love, support, and happiness for Chip. He's been having a rough week at work, and it's only going to get more stressful on Saturday, when he heads to California for three weeks. I hope the Teddy Grahams and Kool-Aid put a smile on his face and help him get through the day.

Chip's lunch: January 5, 2010
We finally got to the grocery store, so I was able to include in this lunch some avocado. Yum! I know it's not local or in season...but sometimes we just need to have some avocado.

Chip's lunch: July 16, 2009
I went with a bit of an Asian theme with this lunch. I made the pad thai for dinner the evening before, and took it from there. The shu mai are from Trader Joe's...I definitely didn't make them myself! And the wrap includes quinoa; I usually cook up a batch and keep it in the fridge so I can add it to Chip's lunches. My favorite way to make quinoa is with vegetable bouillon, cumin, garlic, and just a touch of chili powder.
The pad thai is as easy as our fried rice. We start with A Taste of Thai Pad Thai For Two. We make it according to the package, adding broccoli and tofu, and finally adding soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, evaporated cane juice, and ginger to taste. Sometimes if we have eggs sitting around that need to be eaten, we specifically make this dinner so we can throw in a few eggs.
