Ordering "take-out" food for lunch is getting expensive and time consuming. With the lunch rush and my budget, I just can't keep up the frenzy. I started my drive-thru addition so innocently by pick-up Happy Meals for me and the kids. It was fast, convenient, and economical. They are now teenagers and have outgrown it, but I haven't. I try to justify it by ordering lunch from a nicer restaurants. Truth is I'm still not making healthy selections, just spending more money. When is it time for mommy to grow-up? (LOL)
My goal today is to make a grocery shopping list specifically for lunch items that I can bring to work. I bought a small refrigerator for my office and there is microwave I can use. There is no excuse for not eating healthier and peacefully. I don't have to rush through drive-thru restaurants and then feel guilty about the extra pounds. What I have noticed is that meal "presentation" is so appealing to me. Presentation is the "toy" affect which will keep me coming back. I love the beautiful packed lunches below and I can easily make them. I'm excited and looking forward to healthier and happier lunches!

I agree that is sure is healthier to eat in (and cheaper too of course). Most of the time I don't have the energy to prepare the ones above. I grab a yogurt and a piece of fruit, ha! Good luck to you!

You know what's funny - down below for Meet Me on Monday - not only did you also choose Sopranos like me, but I almost chose a lucky number and it would have been 11!
ReplyDeleteI used to buy frozen entrees to take for lunch - Lean Cuisine's etc., but it was so expensive! I try to pack leftovers from dinner now and it has been so much cheaper. I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out!
