Wholesome Wednesday

 

#Weight Watchers PointsPlus Value-13

 

Hubby's lunch starts with some cucumber and lemon infused water that I made, strawberries and 2 slices of hot and spicy dill pickle.

We found this new flat bread called FoldIt and Hubby is trying it for the first time today.  It is with his salami and the last of the 3 pepper cheese.  He gets some mustard and 1 ounce of jalapeno chips.  No desert today, but he has been carrying an extra snack bag with the mango licorice and a few dark chocolate squares in case he gets hungry before he gets home.

Tasty Tuesday

 

#Weight Watchers PointsPlus Value-8

 

Today was sushi day!  We got a piece of tuna, albacore and salmon sashimi and 3 slices of tuna tataki.  There were 2 slices of spicy tuna volcano roll and 1/2 ounce of the jalapeno PopCorners.  (Do you see the cute squeeze bottle of spicy mayo and the soy sauce pig in the corners?)  I suggested to Hubby that he put a slice of the tuna tataki on the jalapeno chip, I really enjoyed the crunch!  To round out lunch Hubby received his favorite pitted cherries.

Your bonus bento for the day is the other box I made with most of the same ingredients.  This one has the tuna tataki in the green cup with some pickled ginger and strawberries in the back cup.

Munchie Monday...

#Weight Watchers PointsPlus Value-16

 

 

Hubby really likes this Sistema lunch box, it is compact yet holds so much!  The top has 1 ounce of jalapeno pop-corners, 3 pieces of mango licorice, and pitted cherries.

The bottom has a string cheese, mustard, tomato slices and a salami and 3 pepper cheese sandwich on an Arnold Sandwich thin.  There is no lettuce since we didn't stop by the grocery store tonight but there will definitely be some tomorrow.

Fantastic Friday!

Ok, so full disclosure, the plumcot did not go over well with Hubby.  I put some on my salad and mixed with the salmon and Italian dressing I thought it was ok.

Today is taco salad day for Hubby.  I took the last of the bibb lettuce and added 4 ounces of chicken baked with taco seasoning, hot peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes and a little weight watchers taco blend shredded cheese.  He gets an ounce of blue corn chips and a little salsa to finish the main course.  He asked for cherries after the plumcots yesterday so his desert is pitted cherries.

Have a nice weekend and I'll be back Monday!

Thankful Thursday

I know it's hard to see but this really is a salad!  This week's Weight Watchers meeting was all about spicing up our salads so I tried it with Hubby's.  The lettuce is bibb lettuce with a small amount of fat-free feta cheese, cherry tomatoes and 2 ounces of smoked salmon.  I found a new fruit at the grocery store, the item on the right is a plumcot.  The person restocking the fresh fruits/veggie section said it is a lot like a plum but is more "sweet&sour".  I also added a little dark chocolate balsamic vinegar in case he wants to try it with them.

Wholesome Wednesday

Lunch for Hubby is easier to see today.  He got sashimi tuna and salmon over a bibb lettuce leaf covered in scallions and a drizzle of spicy mayo.  Because this isn't a lot of protein, I also added an ounce of drunken goat cheese and 2 left-over breakfast sausages.  To make lunch more healthful the final touches were sliced strawberries and baby carrots with NO calorie blue cheese dressing for dipping.
I was totally amazed to find Walden Farms products have no calories, no fat, no carbs, no gluten and no sugars!  Wegmans carries several different dressings and dips and Hubby says the blue cheese is "ok".  Maybe switching him from Marie's high Points Plus dressing to this cold turkey wasn't the best idea...

Tasty Tuesday

Hubby has a second bento.  Today's lunch included a salami and cheese sandwich on the sandwich thin.  There is lettuce on the sandwich and as you can see there are tomatoes for him to put on at lunch so the little bit of bread doesn't get soggy.  Yes there is another "Red Hot deviled egg" and the little container has dark chocolate balsamic vinegar for the cherries that are in the top.

 Please excuse the floor but I was having problems showing the three individual units on top.  The big side has pitted cherries and the front is a mix of green peppers, red peppers and onions.  The back is hard to see but it has 1 oz of the drunken goat cheese and a small container of blue cheese dressing for the veggies.

Hopefully this is more palatable than Monday's lunch for him.

Mostly Healthy Monday

Hubby got a lunch that contained items he wasn't thrilled about today.  He is not a fan of ham, but that was the only lunch meat that I had left after our weekend camping trip, so he got a ham and cheese sandwich on a honey wheat sandwich thin.  There was mustard, lettuce and tomato but he still had to eat the ham...
The deviled egg in the back was something we picked up at the Arrowhead deli in Deep Creek.  It is called a "Red Hot Egg" and was pretty good...we haven't been able to figure out what they soaked it in to give it the heat and the bright red color but it was vinegary...  Hubby got tomato slices and cucumber slices for his "crunch" factor.  Yes, a trip to the grocery store is in the cards for me tonight!

Thoughtful Thursday

This is NOT Hubby's lunch.  I woke up on Wednesday morning at 2 am and could not go back to sleep.  After working a full day and exercising in the heat I could barely make it home awake.  When I got home I sat down and the next thing I knew Hubby woke me up to eat a little dinner.  I had barely gone taken my last bite when I was back asleep again.
When I woke up this morning at 6:30 I made my own lunch.  It is 3 large lettuce leaves with 2 oz of smoked salmon.  The green container is 1/2 cup of fat free feta cheese, the blue container has chopped spring onions and of course my fruit of 1 clementine.  (Don't worry, I took 4 more clementine for a snack too.)  The bar to the far right is a Weight Watchers Mini Mint Cookie bar, they remind me of a Girl Scout Thin mint in a few ways:  the taste is just like biting into a thin mint and after two bites it's gone.
Have a great weekend, see you on Monday when we'll start this all over again!

Wholesome Wednesday

Today was a mix of reds and greens for Hubby.  He got a salad topped with spring onions, steak and cucumbers, which was a mix of left overs and the last of a head of lettuce.  The strawberries were the last of the box and the round container has an oil and vinegar mix as dressing.  The last part of the lunch is a red Babybel cheese. 
Because there is sooooo much red meat, this lunch tops out at 7 weight watchers points.

Tasty Tuesday

Today was something new:  Buffalo chicken, 3 pepper cheese and cucumbers on whole wheat bread.  One of the containers has mustard and the other has dark chocolate balsamic vinegar for the fruit.  Hubby got the last of the mangos and pineapple today.  Since this didn't seem like much food I also gave him a cheddar cheese stick.  Hopefully it's good!

Mighty Monday!

I know it doesn't look like much but this left over half sandwich is extremely filling!  We had Potbelly for dinner last night and I got a Turkey BLT.  (Of course, I thought that meant that the bacon was turkey NOT that there would be turkey, bacon, lettuce AND tomato!)  I also added hot peppers and had them put it all on whole wheat.  Half of it was all I could eat before I was full!
Hubby also got a dill pickle, mango slices and pineapple.  Small but Mighty Monday!

Freaky Friday

No pictures today.  Hubby had a really rough week and decided to take off for a mental health day.  See you on Monday!

Thoughtful Thursday

I was going for color when I pack this lunch.  Today Hubby got a Buffalo Chicken sandwich with a slice of 3 Pepper Colby Jack cheese, and lettuce.  I gave him two slices of tomato so he could put them on the sandwich or eat them alone, and you can just see the dill pickle sticking out behind them.  I gave him some mustard in the little green container, and the dark chocolate balsamic in the light blue.  His fruit today was sliced mangos and a clementine.

Wholesome Wednesday

I am so proud of myself, I haven't done any grocery shopping since we returned from the long weekend visit to my parents.  Of course this means that I am scraping the bottom of the barrel to make a whole lunch...today Hubby received 4 oz of smoked salmon.  The salmon has a spring onion sliced over top of it and the laughing cow veggie cream cheese with add a little flavor.  In the blue container is a little dark chocolate balsamic vinegar to go over the pitted cherries.  He also got a mozzarella cheese stick and not pictured here is the ounce of PopCorner chips that I sent along for crunch.
I plan to grocery shop while MAC has her appointment this evening so hopefully lots of fresh fruit will make it into his lunch for the rest of the week!

Typical Tuesday

Today was a sushi day.  Hubby got half a spicy shrimp spring roll, a weight watchers strawberry bar, a weight watchers cinnamon roll bar, strawberries and then some fresh tuna.  The tuna has a light drizzle of spicy mayo and some spring onions.  There is a jalapeno cheese stick in case he wants a snack and I believe he made some Dasani coconut flavored water as he left the house.

Monday

When we drove home yesterday I had packed another lunch but we didn't eat it so Hubby got it for lunch today.  Two slices of spicy chicken on a sandwich flat with lettuce and mustard.  There is a tomato to put on when he is ready to eat it, and pitted cherries with a little dark chocolate balsamic vinegar.  Since this wasn't much I gave him another cheddar cheese stick.

Weird Wednesday

Since we will be traveling today during lunch I packed something that can be eaten with one hand.  It is a spicy chicken sandwich with two slices of tomato and mustard (that I will put on before I give to him), strawberries with a turtle toothpick (so I can just hand him the toothpick when he wants a berry), and some blue corn chips.  There is also a cheddar string cheese.  We will be taking our own water/drinks with us and we are all looking forward to spending some time in Virginia.
No more lunches this week since tomorrow is a holiday here in the US and we will be on vacation.

Terrific Tuesday

Today and tomorrow Hubby is getting left overs so that we don't have a lot of food spoil when we go away for the long weekend.
He had bar-b-qued some steak so that over a lettuce leaf, as well as some carrots and hummus to start.  The last of the drunken goat cheese and mangos for snack later.

Manic Monday, Again!

I decided to make lunch easy on myself today and Hubby got 5 pieces of tuna with a little spicy mayo.  It came with two slices of cucumber so that was put under one side.  Half of a spicy shrimp spring roll, and pitted cherries help to round out the meal.  I added a few slices of mini-baguette for snacking on later.
