I just deleted over 2,000 photos from my Eye-Fi card! That’s a lot of food 
I’m feeling the effects of my sleeplessness today, but luckily I’ll be able to sleep in a little tomorrow morning. I don’t have Food Lab this Friday so my weekend starts tonight at 7:45! Unfortunately I’ve got 1,000 things to do + projects for school, so I will not be sipping pina coladas.
I packed my lunch today since we had good options in the fridge. First was this bright salad
Contents:
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 a giant carrot
- A few mini peppers
- ~1/3 cup chickpeas (love eating these on salads!)
- Some leftover shredded chicken
- Avocado (which made the salad)
- Squeeze lemon juice (for the avocado and light dressing)
I also had a small Tempeh + Pumpkin Butter Sandwich on GH Cinnamon Raisin Bread.
And a container for fruit. I was going to save most of this for clinical, but I needed it : )
Strawberries on top, grapefruit on bottom
My friend Lauri and I are going on a walk in a bit over to EarthFare and back (she needs some groceries). It’s really nice out but still pretty nippy. Can’t wait for 75* this weekend!
Another soup sighting over at Muffin Love Chick!
See y’all for a late dinner.

Harris Teeter shoppers!,
Thanks!!!
I have a realllly random question… does Harris Teeter sell Ezekiel/food for life english muffins? I suppose I can just go and see, but I wanted to ask before I spend the bus money to hop on over there, but then find out they don’t have them, I’m a college student you know
I cannot wait to try tempeh. It looks soo simple and full of goodness.
The salad sounds like a wonderful blend of flavors. I miss avocado, I wish our cafe had them available every day!
Have a good afternoon! SEE YA TONIGHT!! I wonder what’s on the menu….:-D
I got my own block of tempeh today…maybe I’ll go the sandwich route soon!
Great looking sandwich! I keep meaning to get tempeh!
Lucky you getting an early weekend! Enjoy the rest of your night!
Great looking packed lunch!

The tempeh on the cinamon bread sounds so good! I hope you can make it through the day without falling asleep!
Delicious!! Strawberries!

I can’t wait for the 70 degree weather either!
Your salad looks so lovely and yummy!
Sarah

Beautiful salad! Maybe just one pina colada??????
What a beautiful, well-balanced lunch! Haha, your weekend starts tonight?? I’d totally be sippin pina coladas while reading the novels I have to get through
Have fun in class until then, though!
What a colorful lunch!! Hope you get some rest tonight!
I gave up meat for lent and haven’t craved it yet, until I saw that chicken in your salad, it looks sooo good!
Your soup is getting around!! 2,000 pictures?! Holy cow that’s a lot
Fabulous lunch!!
Delicious lunch. Hope you get lots of rest tonight!
coveting your strawberries!

Does anyone use Calorie King? If so, how do you like it?
That IS a bright salad!!
Good luck with your 1000 things to do!
I have so many pics on my computer of food. I really need to get rid of some of them.
Love the sandwich on cinnamon raisin GH bread.
That soup is getting around Kath! I need to try that one.
I added you to my blog roll, hope that’s okay
I can’t wait to try a tempeh sandwich. I love that you enjoy them with just three ingredients too. I noticed that I have some cranberry butter still in the pantry, I’m going to give that a whirl soon! Hope you get some rest on your long weekend too!
Mmmm, the strawberries look mighty sweet!
That is a very pretty salad. I’m glad avocados are coming back in season!
Have you ever toasted chickpeas and put them on a salad? They make a nice crouton substitute.
What a pretty lunch! I am now craving strawberries!
What a bright lunch! Vibrant colors just make me smile…:)
Great lunch today Kath!!!
Ooh I got linked to on Kath Eats! Thanks!
My blog is Kitchen Courage, though. 
Or perhaps The Blog Formerly Known as Muffin Love. Thanks again for the soup recipe and the link!
I second all the praise for your cheerful lunch. And 2,000 pics? Wow!
Alyssa ,
Harris Teeter has limited Ezekiel breads and they are in the frozen section – you have to thaw them yourself. Most of them come frozen though, and lots of grocery stores thaw them for you.
Sarah ,
I have not toasted them. Care to share your exact method?
Kath
Can someone tell me where to find tempeh in the grocery store? Google said it can be refrigerated or frozen… so I’m not really sure where to look in Whole Foods! Thanks so much!
I wish I liked tempeh
I just don’t. I’ve tried and tried.
Kate ,
I should be next to the tofu, next to the mushrooms.
Kath
yum, love tempeh.
I must try tempeh and peanut butter. Both are amazing alone, so they have to be even better together. Thanks for the idea!
Yum, I love strawberries!
Mmmm love the sweet sandwich!
Looks like a great lunch! I love the idea of using tempeh along with a sweet spread!
that sandwich sounds amazing!!!!
I never though of tempeh with p-nut butter. Good idea. Love the juicy looking strawberries.
love the tempeh sandwich and berries
Loved it!
FYI – I linked back to this post from my blog. I made a cheesy, open faced version of this sandwich that rocked my socks, you are such a good combiner!
