But I’m hungry so let’s eat!
The Lunchbox
I’ve been dreaming up this salad from the moment we stocked our grocery cart on Sunday!!
This container is literally stuffed with great food:
- Spinach + arugula dressed in a little honey and lemon olive oil
- Salt salt
- Celery
- Carrot
- Red pepper
- Grilled eggplant
- GOAT CHEESE (!!!)
- ~1/3 cup lentils
Homph gomph gomph!
I packed a Food For Life chewy tortilla cut into triangles for easy eating
And a sliver of Teens Eat pumpkin bread!
Gettin’ my fruit in at snacktime – I’m planning to tackle this apple + homemade Larabar (another Teens Eat food gift!) around 4:30 on my way to Emily‘s for a RUN and workout!!
Is this week flying by or what!?
Sami says
i’m with ya, kath! this week is flying. yummy lentilssssss. enjoy! 🙂
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
I had a look at Teens Eat’s website, they have some good recipes! I like their version of PB&J Larabars (though I’ve never had the original – it just sounds good!) 🙂
That poor old man – is he going to be OK?
Have a good run!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
That salad bowl just looks amazing!
Lisa says
The only way I’ve ever eaten lentils is in soup. That looks good! I must try it now.
Lauren @ A Fit Foodie says
This week is flying by! Where is it going? It’s nice sometimes to have a lighter patient load. Enjoy! 🙂
Diana says
That lunch looks delish!
I’m glad the week is flying by, actually. 🙂
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Goat cheese on salads are a must!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
That salad would make anyone happy! LOVE lentils and veggies!!!
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
Definitely!! Love the lentil and goat cheese combo…yum 🙂
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Ohhh I need to get some eggplant! Haven’t had it in far too long..
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
I love big salads with lots of flavors! And creamy additions like goat cheese and hummus make dressing (almost) unnecessary. Hooray for weeks that fly by.
Mama Pea says
I love to eat the Food for Life tortillas with my salad and roll up little bites as I go. Of course, with my massive salads (like yours) I run out of tortillas about 1/4 of the way through!
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
That salad looks amazing. Love the addition of the eggplant in there!!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
I LOVE Food for Life Brown Rice tortillas! It’s such a great brand. And that salad looks fabulous!
Have a wonderful afternoon!
Stephanie says
This week has totally flown by! I took Monday off and have been super busy at work ever since… I’ll take it though!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
this week is totally disappearing! i love the idea of spicy, peppery lentils with goat cheese in a salad – holy yum! you might have the most envied salad in blogland today 🙂
Veggielady4life says
Love your lunch salad! Big salads are my fav thing to pack. Good idea on the lentils. I usually keep chickpeas or some other bean frozen and just toss it on top… I’ll add lentils to my list! Glad to hear you’re enjoying clinical stuff. I keep getting USMLE board prep questions on PTH and calcium… guess the test makers like that stuff. It’s always good to see it in practice, though. Have a good one!
shannon (the daily balance) says
amazing, FILLING salad! so many yummy flavors and textures – just the way i like it!
this week is definitely flying, I can’t beleive we’re already halfway done!
Sarah @ THE FOODIE DIARIES says
grilled eggplant is AMAZING in salad. mmmmm and SO perfect with goat cheese!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
You always have such great combinations in your bowls!!! My tupperware is totally jealous of your tupperware 🙂
runnerforever says
You salad is a perfect example of how a salad can be a well balanced meal, very nice to see! Oh, and that pumpkin bread looks so good and moist, hope you enjoyed!
Cole says
That salad looks amazing!
Carolyn @ lovinlosing says
That’s a fantastic looking salad!
Midgetkeeper says
That is a packed salad for sure. Yum!
Jenny says
seriously! i feel like this week has barely started!
Jo says
That’s one amazing salad!
But don’t you find that the greens get soggy if they’re pre-dressed? i.e. you put the olive oil & honey on in the a.m., but don’t eat it till lunchtime–how does that work?
Kath says
Only slightly
[email protected]ealthyfit says
That salad looks fantastic! Hope that guy is going to be ok.
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
I’ve totally lost track of the days of the week. Maybe it’s an unemployment thing. 😉
Jil says
That salad is beauuutiful!
Mastering Public Health says
You are the hearty-salad queen. And, yes, this week is flying… unfortunately, I need more time to get my work done before the weekend!
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Seriously flying by – where did the week go?
Sophie says
That salad looks awesome! Love goat cheese 🙂
Do you have any good tips for cleaning out your Bodum? I bought one today and want to make sure I get all of the pesky grinds out of the mesh when I’m done!
Kath says
Only a good sponge and soap! I find that grinds get caught in the plastic outer part too which DOES come off with a strong grip and even-weight bend!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I love lentils in salad. This week is going by so fast that when I woke up this morning I thought it was monday! 🙂
kate says
Goat cheese easily transforms any meal!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i love all those teens eat bars! yum.
lisa says
I feel like every week since February has been flying by! I suppose busy days go by much more quickly than slow ones…
Shannon, Tropical Eats says
hahah love the sound effects ::Homph gomph gomph!:::
lentils are AWESOME.
Laura says
As a medical student, I’ve been told that so long as I don’t mention names, ages, addresses or any notable/identifiable features of a patient, and speak in general terms as Kath has, you’re fine?
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
Is there anything that goats cheese does not taste good on….seriously!! LOVE goats cheese 🙂
[email protected] lady says
Goat cheese is so so good in salads and that salad looks like a winner!!
[email protected]://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I like the lentils on top for a nice punch of protein in your salad. I love your uses of lentils.
Those Teens are making some pretty amazing stuff.
Jenn (www.j3nn.net) says
That salad looks wonderful!! 😀 Awesome lunch.
Jenn
Annie says
how full did your breakfast keep ya?
Hannah says
Goats cheese makes EVERYTHING better. In fact, I think I’d even try goats cheese icecream… or at the least, goats cheesesavoury oatmeal 😉
eatdrinkandbemerrynyc says
that salad looks AMAZING. love it!!
Sara
amanda says
Oh wow that looks super delicious! Pumpkin bread sounds delicious
Callie @ OneLittleOnigiri says
Wow that salad looks amazing! I’ve never tried lentils but they’re definitely on my “to eat” list.
caronae says
Love the salad! I can’t wait till eggplant is in season at the farmer’s market soon. Yum! And this week is SO flying by. Almost thursday already!
Karen says
to laura–whether or not “you’re fine”, it’s an ethical question. if you were a patient, would you want your BMI posted on a popular blog, even were it anonymous? particularly if you were a patient dealing with weight/nutrition issues? an anorexic already feels under (often imaginary) scrutiny–posting his or her situation on a blog turns that scrutiny very real.
Chris says
In regards to the HIPAA (privacy) law, I have found from personal experience, that it probably varies at institutions. I was a medical transcriptionist for about 20 years so am familiar with these things. A few months ago, my insurance carrier would not even discuss my (minor age) son and husband’s account over the telephone with me, since I was not on the policy. I told my boss who has been in the transcription business for 35 years, and she was pretty shocked at such a thing. I had to have the insurance company mail me a HIPAA form for my husband to sign to say that they could discuss insurance with me!
Dynah says
Nice post. I learn something more difficult on different blogs everyday. It’ll all the time be stimulating to read content from different writers and practice a little one thing from their store. I’d favor to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
