Chip's lunch: January 22, 2010
This lunch happens to be particularly fruit/veggie-heavy. I cut up the orange before deciding what else I'd put in the lunch, and since the sweet potatoes and asparagus are leftovers that have to be eaten tomorrow, it just happened that there's a lot of rabbit food in the box. I was at a loss as to what to include for protein; I considered a meat analogue of some sort, but then decided that it would be nice to keep it "clean," since the rest of the lunch was clean (for more on clean eating, check out this link). So I scrambled up some eggs and threw in some black beans, broccoli, and cheese that was laying around. One of Chip's favorite things ever is eggs with a bunch of stuff thrown in. I've never done black beans and eggs, but I'm pretty sure I can't go wrong.

Chip's lunch: January 18, 2010
Chip finally made it home from Spain! I'll spare you the details, save to say that he arrived here in Ohio about 27 hours later than scheduled. Tomorrow is back to work for him!
While he was gone, I spent a lot of time looking up recipes and cooking. The soup shown below is from this recipe. I absolutely love it. It's thick and hearty, and has a great sweetness to it. I added some crushed red pepper for a touch of heat, and some garlic. I like that it's a really flexible recipe; you can add anything you want, really! I also like that it includes beans and soy milk, for plenty of protein. It also includes carrots, but I made sure to slice them really small. It looks kind of gray in the photo, but I promise it's more of a golden color. The sweet potatoes are made from this recipe. We're not huge sweet potato eaters (neither of us grew up eating them), but I'm trying to buy them on occasion so I can stop being scared of them. This recipe turned out really well; the sweetness of the potatoes is a nice contrast with the salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary.
Homemade vegan vegetable chowder, half of a honeycrisp apple, dark chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, roasted sweet potatoes, and a peanut butter and banana sandwich with honey on local organic 10-grain bread.
