Lesson Learned - again!

I thought I was buying Mi-Del GF Ginger Snaps instead I bought Mi-Del Ginger Snaps (naturals, but not GF) - no wonder they were so tasty! Thankfully I'd only eaten two when I caught the mistake while grocery shopping - It's not only a lesson in label reading but it is also a lesson in not putting something in a tupperware without the label!!

Muncha-Buncha-Lunch

Lunch remains one of my biggest challenges. My fallback is Chipotle, where I can get an awesome bowl of rice, beans, onions & peppers, steak, cheese, and lettuce. My mouth waters just thinking about it. But it's too much moohlah and too much food to do daily.

Somewhere today I saw an awesome list of lunch-box idea's - I am sure it was intended for elementary aged school kids, but hey - I'm keeping it and going to use it.

I'm also keeping this list from Heinz, of their GF foods.  Some things like their taquito's would be handy to have around. And on the note of handy I want to try Sandwich Petals - I'm going to have to buy them online, but they look like they have flavor.

One of the things I was going to share in this blog was my recipes....but I haven't cooked much lately. I've been eating a lot of fruit and nuts, and eating on the run. Some of my staples for quick lunch food have been peanut butter on rice crackers, and danish ham rolls with cream cheese in the middle. I've made a few stir-fry's with tamari sauce and red pepper flakes that were so tasty there was no leftovers to bring for lunch.

And on the note of lunch, I think I shall go see what's in the freezer and head outside for some fresh air.

Update:  I had Ceaser's Manicotti - and it was 'eh...the texture was good, but the taste was a little off. It tasted more like a TV dinner than real food...I read the ingredients and it is all real, but still just 'eh.
