What's for lunch?
 

I just made myself a delicious (and healthy) lunch!

Cubed chicken breast
Fresh bing cherries
Fresh blueberries
1 oz. goat cheese
water crackers
Glass of water

Yummy, satisfying and guilt-free!!!!

What are ya'll eating for lunch? :gaga

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Lunch is in the past... I had a Tuna sandwich.
It's no cubed chicken breast but it did the job!

I should be thinking about supper right now. Any suggestions?!

Cheeseburger Macaroni hamburger helper left over from yesterdays lunch!

Oh the joys of working out of a home office.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

LOL!!!! Ya know, I PRIDE myself on cooking and preparing great food, and yet my husband LOVES Hamburger Helper. Is it just a man food or what?

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Going to be quick and easy here. Salad, Baked Salmon, Tea, maybe a creamed spinach frozen side I have in the freezer, or some sauteed veggies. I bought a watermelon to cut up for dessert.

Summertime is my favorite time to cook--so many fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from!

Speaking of which...I heard on the news yesterday that there's a problem with salmonella on the tomatoes (Roma?), and they haven't pinpointed the source yet--so maybe my salad will be sans tomatoes.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Just went to the local Ho Chi Mhin hangout and had grilled chicken on a bed of rice.

yum..

Re: What's for lunch?
 

That would sound good--if I were still hungry.

We have a [fairly] good Thai restaurant here...they have a dessert (I can't remember the exact name), made of sweet rice, custard, and coconut milk--I've been craving that for a couple of weeks.

Re: What's for lunch?

Late sleeper or different time zone? (CST here)

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Well...at least you're eating low-cal. :)

I cannot do diet food. (And it shows!) LOL!

My only hope is to choose healthy portions and factions of the foods I already love and try to leave off the real butter and heavy whipping cream. :reaction

Re: What's for lunch?
 

That's the best way.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Me too!!! Well, about an hour or so ago, I'm just starting to think about lunch! :toofunny

Re: What's for lunch?
 

you are on a diet?? why

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I had mexican food yesterday at a hole in the wall - it was awesome!

I might go for chinese or Italian today

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Well, if you happen to be in CA, don't buy any cheese from a Mexican street vendor. (as if) In the news here yesterday, there is a rare strain of TB in some of this cheese, they are saying it is being sneaked over the border!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Those are always the best places!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Ew.

All of this food stuff makes me want to buy a cow, have a fish pond, and garden year round.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I have friends who LOVE to go to the taco trucks- do ou patronize those?

I've always been a little worried about the cleanliness aspect

Re: What's for lunch?
 

They are - the food is usually not frozen like the big chains

Re: What's for lunch?
 

No and yes.

Am up by 6:30 most mornings, and I'm in the PST zone.

I just don't eat breakfast till later...usually it ends up being more brunch than anything. :wacko

Re: What's for lunch?
 

UM, no. We have these guys who set up these little stands anywhere they can, and they sell cut up fruit in plastic containers, and then they pour something over it, I cannot imagine how many hands that fruit has gone through and I'm sure that it hasn't been washed.

I'm sorry, but I only eat at places that I know the health inspector visits on a regular basis, and even then, stuff manages to slip through. But these guys on the street corners, they are slipping in stuff over the border, and there is no telling what it has come in contact with. YUCK!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Exactly! It gets scary!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I am glad you said something about it! You know TB was virtually wiped out here in the US, but somehow in that few years its been resurfacing due to things like this.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Anyway how does this sound?

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I know! I watched a documentary on it a while back, it is really terrifying.

I was actually getting ready to write a whole lot more on this topic, and then I realized that this is a food thread, people probably aren't appreciating me very much right now!! SORRY!! :blah

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Sounds delicious!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Or
Paillard de Poulet

Pounded chicken breast, pan-seared, and flavored with basil
and pine nut pesto
served over house salad
tossed with tarragon vinaigrette

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I made a potato salad yesterday for the first time in like 3 years. :gaga

My husband didn't say one word...he thought I had gone to visit my mom and she sent it home with me! :lol

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I feel your pain! Don't feel bad this wouldn't be the first thread that ever changed courses.(changed courses get it!?)

Interesting topic though-

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I absolutely love potato salad! My husband hates it so I never make it, not in 13 years of marriage.:tissue

At least your husband eats it.:thumbsup

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Barbecue chicken breast
Wheat bread
Fruit cocktail
Diet Dr Pepper

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I don't like all potato salads either...I've always made it like my mom does.

No onions or celery, but with pickles and olives instead. :D

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I like all that stuff yummy! (except for boiled eggs, dont care for those in it)

Ok I have a serious question to ask you-do you use Best Foods Mayonnaise

or Miracle Whip?

I think that makes a big difference in a good salad or not.

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Real Mayo.

And I use hard-boiled eggs in the salad too. :D

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Ah! A thread I can post to with great joy!:bliss

I am staring at a lovely Turkey and swiss footlong sandwich with the works (especially japalenos) from subway!:praying oh thank you God!!!

That whole $5 footlong thing they got going has totally seduced me and I will need to do much praying and repenting on the treadmill for a few days now,...

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Me too!

Re: What's for lunch?
 

Saw this too late, Missy, but I fixed chicken soft tacos...

Re: What's for lunch?
 

you people up in MI. don't eat tacos Puleeeeze !:happydance

Re: What's for lunch?
 

I make it all the time in the summer it seems. My favorite way to make it is with diced red skinned potatoes, celery, onions, and a lot of eggs.

The dressing: Miracle Whip, Ranch dressing, sour cream, a drop of vinegar, and a dash of sugar.

Mix in the dressing and add sweet relish. Top with sliced eggs and paprika...:bliss
