8/9/11

I must say I like this new box, mainly because of the divisions. Though I am filling them with fruit right now (not that I'm complaining! I was missing having fruit IN the lunch box rather than on the side), it makes it visually appealing and easy to sort/serve.

On today's lunch, we have some rice and ground turkey with peppers, then some cherries, cut up oranges and some pepper/carrot mix.

I did find the box is very deep, so I put only a bit of rice in the bottom. Still, I very much like it.

8/8/11

Sorry, I have been terribly unresponsive. I was on vacation the last week of July (15hr road trip each way plus a convention on the weekend) and that barely allowed time for food, let alone, packed food. I'll plan a lot better next time, because stops along the way are only fun if you're going to somewhere scenic... Or an actual destination.

Anyway! Last week I was dead busy with the whole return to work, and although this week is already showing a LOT of promise of being one of the worst in my career, I still have to eat, so here's what I packed today in my new Lock & Lock box:

Spaguetti, watermelon, cantalope and oranges. Not very creative or very pretty, but I will get to that soon... Hope everyone's doing great and can't wait for fall! I, for one, I'm tired of this heat. :)

Especial thanks to Silverwing at Scrumptious Bento for sharing the coupon for Lock&Lock. They had such cute selections it was hard to pick, but I'm glad I did.

Ok, so this lunch has not a whole lot of prettyness to it. It's rice with turkey sausage and peppers with carrot details (top) and carrot cake with apple slices (bottom). I had the funniest sugar rush after trying that carrot cake, I knew I had to get some to get me through a Friday workday. It's store bought (sorry, I'm a coward and wont make my own carrot cake yet), but it was super yummy. And melty (I blame the weather!). That's why it looks rather... smooshed in the photo.

Happy weekend, everybody!

PS: I'll be going on a road trip the last week of July, so I probably won't be posting... or maybe I will! But definitely not of food. I know (not really) it's against food-blogger policy to not pack your own meal during a planned trip... but I want to experience some of the local foods, so that's what I'm going for.

7/14/11

You know those days when you're wondering which god is after you this time? Because I refuse to believe that a single God would taunt and go after a single person so often and not get bored and move along. Yeah, that's me yesterday+today. Already. And it's barely early enough for coffee!

Anyway, this lunch would appear to be very familiar to you... if my camera had worked on Tuesday. Which it didn't. So here it is, anew: rotini with some cut deli ham and tomatoes, a side of broccoli with a bit of butter, baby carrots and a boiled egg. Yum yum. Happy Friday-Eve!

7/8/11 - Leftover day!

Die, blindingly bright phone flash camera! *cough* Oh, there you are. Sorry. In today's lunch, I packed the rest of the ground turkey with some rice, broccoli and carrots. Yum, simple, and got rid of some leftovers for me. Have a great weekend, everybody.

77/11 - Ground turkey

And for today, we have ripe boiled plantains, a few carrots, and ground turkey meat. I have never cooked ground turkey. And besides extremely salty, it was very yummy.

I had to go out and buy meat seasoning recently, and I think that finding out that the Goya (typical Hispanic meat seasoning) was the "With salt" edition AFTER cooking was not the best idea. But yes, it does contain salt. A lot of it, it seems. But it was good nonetheless, no complains! Best of all, the turkey meat was all natural, no preservatives, and under manager's special, so it only was $1.50 for a rather large pack. Win win. :) I might like playing around with the meat section now...



7/1/11 - Triangle sandwiches

This is a lunch I'll keep tagged to remake later. I was running out of time, and I really had nothing to place as main dish for today. So I made some triangle sandwiches with mayo and cheese, added some carrots, broccoli and red peppers and I am calling it a meal. If I had more time this morning, I would had made it a lot differently. But yeah. That is that.

Have a great weekend holiday, everyone!
