Taking lunch to work

Once again I've decided to eat out much less during my lunch break at work. I'm trying to go out just one time during the work week. Last week was my first week back and I only went out once, on Friday, and I had Panera Bread.

I lost three pounds of my holiday/trip to Boston weight in 1 week

I wanted to share some of the things I've been eating/drinking

I've been making a lot of hot tea. Wegman's brand orange spice is my favorite
Fruit for breakfast. I like bananas
I also eat Dannon Light and Fit blackberry or raspberry flavored yogurt
I have the individual applesauce cups
Turkey, wheat bread, muenster cheese, lettuce, mayo
Carrots with Sabra supremely spicy hummus
Frozen microwave meals

I am really picky about my frozen microwave meals. I tend to like ones without meat the most. Smart Ones has a new meal out called Pasta with Ricotta and spinach. It was so good I went out and bought a second one for this week :)

I also really like Lean Cuisine's vegetable eggroll meal. It comes with 1 eggroll and some rice.

I have recommended this one before but I really like this chili verde chicken burrito. It tends to be more expensive than the other frozen meals so I only get it once in a while.

When I want something chocolate I have been drinking some nestle hot chocolate for my chocolate fix. I also have cocoa almonds but I dont like them very much. I think they have a strange texture. A chocolate covered almond from Trader Joes would be better. I loved it when Trader Joes sold chocolate covered soynuts. YUM

Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken. Pour salsa and soup over chicken. Add black beans and corn I stir it all together Cook on high for about 3.5 hours and cut chicken to check for doneness. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. The first night we ate this mix with these corn tamales we buy, that have no filling. They are just cornbread. We threw some shredded Mexican cheese on top of the salsa chicken mix The second night DH ate the mix, with cheese again, on tortillas I put tortilla chips in a bowl and poured the mixture on top, added cheese. It was like a Mexican chicken chili :) I will be making th...
