3/14/10 - sunday
While Chuck and I were out yesterday running errands, we picked up a bunch of fruit and veggies for lunches. I am really going to try to bring my lunch more often. This will mean getting over some of my fears of leftovers, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
I did some cleaning in the morning (after eating a cutie mandarin orange) and completely forgot about lunch. It's a good thing Chuck remembered. We threw in some frozen pizza. It was wonderful!
For dinner, we had a teriyaki pork tenderloin. It was fabulous. We also had some cheesy potatoes we had in the freezer. YUM.
I made sure we had some leftovers for lunch and I went to work on using the "bento" boxes that I got at The Container Store. They aren't really bento boxes, but I am using them for that purpose. I got one for Chuck and one for myself. Mine is slightly smaller. Because I will pretty much eat whatever I bring.
Since we had potatoes for dinner, I whipped up some minute brown rice and added it to the containers with some pork on top. These have a little divider in them, so I put some frozen corn on the side and added a little butter for flavor and stuck them in the fridge for Monday.
I also prepared some containers with veggies in them (mine had carrots and celery, Chuck's had just carrots). This way everything is ready to go for the morning.
