because I'm food obsessed but don't know what I want for lunch, I thought I'd see what everyone else is planning on. Maybe this will spark something that sounds good for me!
Mine is pretty boring since I'm trying to get better about added protein (my birth class instructor told us we all need 100g of protein a day, that's A LOT of protein). Im having a Greek yogurt, some trail mix, and an apple. I might throw some sweet potato fries in the oven as well.
I have a healthy choice meal- butternut squash raviolis. Running to the kitchen now to heat it up before the lunchtime mad rush starts!
I was still working during my first pregnancy and I distinctly remember a day where I got stuck on a phone call at the time I would normally go heat up lunch. By the time I got there, there were five or six people waiting on the microwave and chatting it up so I left and went to chickfila! I just couldn't wait.
I might head out to Dizengoff to get either the fava bean or spicy radish hummus. I haven't been enamored of their toppings lately so it's been over a month since I've stopped by there.
Failing that, it'll probably be veggie pizza from the place I like around the corner.
I'm having a southwestern chicken salad with jalepeno ranch dressing. It has mesclun greens, corn, black beans, carrots, grilled chicken, peppers, and onions. Yummmmmmmm

I STILL haven't been there and always forget to go even though it's literally down the block from my office. I'm putting it in my calendar so I don't pregnancy brain on it again.

It's so good! And full of good things for baby too.
But yeah I wish I could say I loved the toppings they've been putting out lately. I'm just not that into fennel or celery root. Oh well.
I started eating some flaxseed and cranberry oatmeal...then had a kid come down for an "emergency" because his tooth is loose and he was freaked out about it. Once the door was open, the dam was broken and I have had a steady stream of visits since. So, I had 4 bites of oatmeal.
I made the filling for these wontons last night: It's pork, shrimp, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, etc. Instead of making wontons, I sautéed the filling and then put them on lettuce to make lettuce wraps.
Today I brought in the leftover filling and warmed it up and then mixed it with cold shredded spinach leaves. The leaves kind of wilted a bit (in a good way) and overall, it was really yummy and satisfying!

I decided on a Jamaican chicken wrap from this place near buy. It had mango salsa and cilantro garlic sauce they have the cutest little kid meals also so DD was more than happy. Win, win.
I lied. I went to Target on lunch (that's how/when I grocery shop between working full time and a toddler at home) and then hit the In & Out drive through on the way back to the office. Burger, fries, and chocolate shake. So much for "healthy choice"! But I'm sure there is totally protein in the burger and calcium in the shake ... right?
I got the radish hummus but I wish I hadn't, because the pickled radishes were not good and then I threw them in my office trash and now they smell like death farts in there, and I just want to tell everybody who comes into my office "IT'S NOT ME IT'S THE RADISHES, THAT IS THE DEATH FART SMELL, I SWEAR" but you can't say that and probably nobody would believe me anyway.
I even tied up the plastic bag in the trash hoping that would choke out the smell, but it's not working.
I didn't have time to bake chicken, so I used the Applegate Organic deli chicken toasted on bread with cheese and tomatoes. Side salad with goat cheese and balsamic. And a hand-full of tostitos while everything was heating. Oh, and a few bites of left over mac & cheese. I'm surprised I didn't put cheese on the tostitos. I think I have a problem lately where everything I eat has cheese with it.
Actually, lately? Who am I kidding. That was pre-pregnancy as well.

Cheese has protein, right?? I've had a meat aversion this whole pregnancy and I'm totally using that as a way to justify all the cheese I eat. Yum!
I'm late but I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I'm also having that for lunch today along with carrot, celery, and cucumber with fat free ranch.

Lunch for me will probably be a healthy choice spicy chicken slider. Obsessed with them lately!

a spicy chicken slider sounds aweeesome.
