Tip O' the Day

To busy to make lunch?  Sometimes in the morning I have nothing prepared for lunch at work.  If it's a gym day I eat at my desk.  For backups I try to have a few options in the freezer just in case.  I try to choose either Kashi meals or Amy's Kitchen meals as they seem to be the least processed.  Do you eat frozen meals?  If so what are your favorites?

This morning, for me, was one of those mornings so I grabbed an Amy's Kitchen Indian Mattar Paneer. I LOVE her Indian dishes. This one has such a nice balance of curry on the veggies, rice and cheese.  It is one of my favorites. Now here's my tip.  These little meals never fill me up so I always bring either steamed broccoli left over from dinner the night before or fresh spinach to pour my frozen meal over.  This way you both get in an extra veggie for the day and you are nice and full (on veggies).  This also keeps me from scouring my office for anyone who might have chocolate at around 3:00. 


Today's was so pretty and I happened to have my point and shoot in my purse so here's a photo.

I like Kashis frozen meals a lot, have you ever had the one with the plantain in it? Super yum.

Hi Monica, what is funny is I have the plantain today for lunch over spinach! I think that one is my favorite.
