I am kind of proud of my lunch today as I made it for a friend and it was tasty. I like lentil soup that I order in restaurants, but I have never found one to make myself that I like. Usually I make lentil soup, eat it once, and end up throwing away the leftovers. But this one was tasty! I would have totally eaten the leftovers, but, alas, I left them with my friend (she's got a newborn, which is why I was bringing her lunch...)
I knew I shouldn't have opened this.
I had iceberg lettuce and grilled chicken with homemade "ranch" that is insanely runny. & an apple. I've had that everyday this week because I already grilled all the chicken...and now I want to kill someone.
(I know someone will suggest putting more into the salad...but I'm picky and lazy haha)
I make my own ranch dressing and I will never go back to store-bought! So easy and so much better tasting. I eat big salads with my homemade ranch all the time. Yeah, the ranch has buttermilk and sour cream and mayonnaise, but I'm anal and I calculated the calories; even if I douse my salad in my ranch, I'm only looking at like 200ish calories + vegetables. I'll take it!

---QBF--- Mayo too?? Mine just had the buttermilk and sour cream...maybe that's why it's so runny
kami09 Equal parts buttermilk, sour cream, and mayo. Salt and pepper. A couple dashes of tobasco (this is a key ingredient, imo). Minced dill and chives.
Count me in the camp of people who never make or pack lunches. I realize it saves money to bring your own, but every time I think about it, I just get flashbacks to this Onion article. And I need that small joy to break up the neverending procession of human tragedy and black comedy that is my job.
I bring my lunch nearly every day. When I end up buying lunch I (almost) always end up being underwhelmed. Exception is when I get a Little Caesars's lunch combo. YUM! But the other day I bought Qdoba because I had a coupon, and it wasn't worth the money..even with the coupon.
