Wonderful Wednesday

 
 
Yes, the lunch went so well yesterday that Hubby got the same thing again today.  I did add some of those fresh picked grapes just for the fruit value!

Tasty Tuesday

 
 
 
Hubby had a sandwich today.  It was pepper cheese on pumpernickel bread.  I had also found him some red velvet cookies which he is doing his best to eat slowly.  There is a key lime Chobani yogurt and one babybel mini cheese.  For his crunch factor today he got Aged White Cheddar puffs.

MAC also got her lunch packed today, sliced strawberries, spicy surumi roll and fresh picked concord grapes headed to school with her.  Just in case she needed some crunch I added some walnuts.

Manic Monday


Nothing to show today.  The Maryland Renaissance Festival started this weekend and I worked at my favorite mug booth both days (and was dead tired by the time I got home).  We ordered a pizza yesterday for dinner and Hubby was left to his own devices for lunch.  I think he'll probably take the left over pizza...I promise a good lunch tomorrow, MAC goes back to school!

TGI Friday

Hubby got a mish-mash today.  The sandwich is on a FlatOut-FoldIt and has spicy ham and steakhouse onion cheese with a little spinach added.  The little container has mustard for spreading at lunch.  The Pretzel crisps are his crunchy item for the day and he got some tuna sashimi with a drizzle of spicy mayo.

My lunch today was just a whole lot of protein.  I haven't been feeling too well lately and with MD RenFest starting on Saturday I need to be at my ablest.  Hopefully the shrimp, salmon and tuna will help perk me up.  The salsa goes with my veggies (baby carrots and peppers) and I had to have a clementine for fruit.

Having slept most of yesterday afternoon and evening I did not get a chance to make Hubby's lunch.  Above you see mine for today.  I have sliced tomatoes over a bed of spinach with a few slices of onion for flavor.  It is hard to see, but I have about a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over them and just a touch of habanero salt.  To the right I have pepper slices (there are red and green although you can't see the red) which I'll probably dip into a little salsa.  Finally, because I like having something warm with my meals, I have stewed tomatoes and onions which I'll heat in the microwave at work.

Wholesome Wednesday

Nothing new today.  Hubby wasn't feeling well yesterday and stayed home so he took yesterday's lunch today.  I have been really tired and didn't make my lunch, and instead had a WeightWatchers Smart Ones for lunch.

Hubby packed his own lunch today.  It was hard to find enough clear counter space to get a picture because the bags wouldn't stay open...
Lunch starts with a 1/2 cup of baby carrots.  There is a key lime "Flip top" Chobani yogurt for something different, a bagel and veggie carrot cream cheese, his biggest treat (a Twinkie) and a sandwich wrap.  The wrap has spicy turkey slices, a slice of jalapeno cheese and a little lettuce.

Hubby made his own lunch today.  Since he hadn't taken the tea, apple and cheese sticks yesterday he only needed to make a main course.  It is in the black reusable sandwich bag.  He made two buffalo roasted chicken and cheese sandwiches on Multi-grain sandwich rounds.
Tomorrow is his flex day so we'll be back on Monday!  Have a good weekend!

I was late getting home last night so Hubby had made most of his lunch.  I decided to "dress" it up a little though.
The black pouch is 2 ounces of organic blue corn chips, the cheese sticks are a mix of Colby and Jack cheeses.  He has found that he likes Wegman's black just tea and I have found Braeburn apples which are his favorites.  His sandwiches are made from a tortilla, 2 ounces of cheese and an ounce of ham.  I used a wolf cookie cutter to make the large sandwich, there is lettuce for "grass" and some cherry tomatoes as rocks.  Some tortilla pieces colored with food safe markers make the clouds and a mini-BabyBell light cheese is the sun.  The little green container is just some fun sandwiches:  2 different size bunnies and a penguin (also with lettuce and cherry tomatoes).
I was rather proud of myself for this creation!

Hubby got a very large taco salad today!  There were almost 2 cups of lettuce, jalapeno peppers, onions, 3 ounces of taco seasoned chicken and a Tablespoon of WeightWatchers Mexican Blend cheese.  He got a tiny bottle of "Ass Kickin'" hot sauce which is really spicy.  In the little round container I put salsa and the top left side is 2 ounces of Organic corn chips.  His treatis the cinnamon dark chocolate pieces.  We were so excited to find this at Stonewall Kitchens in January and it has just sat in our refrigerator until now.  I thought it would be a nice treat for him today.

Monday, Monday...

Yes, you're right, this isn't a lunch...This past weekend was the 2013 Otakon at the Baltimore Convention Center.  We tried very hard to eat "healthier" so hubby packed several sandwiches for the three days and they weren't all eaten so he took leftovers for lunch today. 
While it was nice not to rack my brain on what to make I purchased several new Bento items and was slightly disappointed not to be able to use them.  I am hoping that you'll be seeing bunny ham and cheese sandwiches and items with eyes very soon.

For those of you who don't know what Otakon is, it is the largest gathering on the East Coast (and the second largest in the US) of otaku generation: by fans, for fans; and this year was the 20th Otakon. 
Ever since 1999, they've taken over a sizable chunk of Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a 3-day festival celebrating the pop culture that's brought us everything from Astroboy to Yu-Gi-Oh, from Seven Samurai to Spirited Away.  They expected over 30,000 fans and descend on Baltimore to celebrate music, anime, manga, and all other facets of Asian pop culture!

Last night Hubby made his own lunch for today before I got home.
He and MAC will be going to Otakon tomorrow at the Baltimore Convention Center.  I know this means that breakfast, lunch and dinner will not be the best.  I hope they don't just pig out on burgers and fries!  Have a wonderful weekend and I'll be back on Monday.

Hubby got something a little different today.   The back left corner is alternating slices of fresh mozzarella and homegrown tomatoes.  The little pig has balsamic vinegar to pour over the mozzarella and tomatoes for some flavor.  The last of the pitted cherries are in the back right and then a few slices of a Braeburn apple are in the front left.  He got a 1/2 oz of bay flavored peanuts and a 1/2 oz of wasabi almonds as well as some spicy pepperoni for protein.  Just in case he was still hungry he got the last weight watchers chocolate pretzel bar for desert.

Hubby made half of his own lunch today.  He found  Flax and Fiber sandwich rounds and decided he wanted to try them instead of the Honey Wheat I like.  His sandwich is an ounce of salami, a slice of weight watchers cheese, and some slices of onions and peppers.  He also has pitted cherries, a spicy dill pickle and a few slices of tomato for the sandwich.  He has some mustard and a polly-o jalapeno string cheese.

It is the last day of Hubby's work week and it feels like he gets a feast for lunch.  Once again it is chicken tacos with blue corn chips on the side.  The little blue container is taco sauce and he has a few pitted cherries.
Have a safe and happy weekend.  I'll see you Monday!
