I'm terrible at lunch. I never know what to eat. I'm always thinking about what's for dinner and am terrible at keeping track of time passing by (just ask my husband). Lunch sneaks up on me. Like, every day.
Now that my kids are in school, I'm trying to be prepared for when they come home at lunch time. I make a lot of salads like this one:
 |
chicken, orzo, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta .
If you mix it while the pasta is still warm. the feta melts and makes a yummy sauce. |
I make this dressing and have it around so I can put it on stuff for lunch.
2 Parts plain (no or low-fat -- you can't tell) yogurt (1/2 cup?)
1 part light mayonnaise (1/4 cup?)
scant 1/2 part mustard (1 TBS?)
1 Big-Squeeze-of-Plastic-Lemon lemon juice (1 tsp?)
salt and pepper
Stuff I put it on:
 |
| chicken, zucchini, grapes, curly pasta |
 |
| Tuna, peas, chickpeas on spinach |
 |
| Chicken, orzo, bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli slaw |
 |
Orzo, chicken, cherry tomatoes, zucchini on spinach
|
You get the idea.
Hey. Guess what? It's time for lunch. I don't know what we're having. Time got away from me. I've been writing this blog post. What are you having?
