Kickin' it

For Friday, I am bringing some hamburger helper Italian shells and then some carrots, jello and maybe a salad.
Also when I come back from Thanksgiving, I hope to extend this to 31 days of lunches AND dinners.  Anyway, gotta go.
 

An away win!!

Today I visited another librarian but brought my lunch anyway.
I made a tuna fish sandwich, and then had a fruit cup and some peanut butter crackers. I was pleased that I was able to keep it up :-)

Brought but not eaten

Today i took a turkey sandwich and carrots but had some leftover pizza from the event that was available to all teachers

Keep on keeping on :-)

Well, on Tuesday I had some hambuger helper for lunch. Since we also had our Literacy Event, I took some leftover Zaxby's for dinner. We gave out pizza for the event so I wound up eating that instead of my chicken tenders.

Yeah!!!

Well, I made it!! 31 days with 31 different lunches. Today's lunch is a steak stir fry.
I have also added some applesauce.

Because of this project I have learned:

1. I can complete a project
2. It is easier to keep doing something that to stop and try and start again.
3. When you try and take control of one area, the other areas often suffer :-(

I am glad I did it though. I hope to continue bringing my lunch and maybe even making dinners. I liked making the schedules and hopefully I helped out JV by getting her some food to eat.

30 down, 1 to go

Since it is Friday, there are already rumors about what everyone is going to bring. It sounds like it is going to be a chili-a-thon. White chicken chili was mentioned, as well as, no bean chili. I am bring leftover pepperoni pizza just in case. It makes me feel "official" if I make sure I take something, whether I eat it or not.

The Home Stretch

Today's lunch was a leftover roast beef sandwich, pretzel chips and celery. There are pictures available that haven't been put up yet. The camera was left at school when I download pictures to a computer. Oops!!

Italian 2

The menu for Day 28 was pretty boring. Spinach and cheese ravioli was the main course. The soup was my favorite potato and leek. It is from the Mennonite store in Greeneville. It is hard to believe that it is day 28 of this project. It is a great feeling knowing that you are going to complete something that you set out to do. Yeah!!!

Not gonna fumble

We had a staff development today.  Normally I would go out to lunch on these days but, I was not going to let it throw me off.  Once I fall off the wagon, it is very hard for me to get back on.
I made a roast last night and brussel sprouts so that it what I had. I microwaved it, in the teachers' lounge.  I was very proud of myself.

Menu:
Roast and Gravy
Brussel Sprouts
Chocolate Cake

That's Amore'

Monday's lunch was a bit of a last minute thing. There was not alot of time to put it together; plus, there was not much food in the house.
There was some leftover pasta sauce from the lasagne. Pasta is always available at my house. Leftover chocolate cake from when they were on sale and my friend gave me frozen broccoli with cheese.

Menu:
Spaghetti and sauce
Broccoli with cheese
Chocolate cake

Free Friday

Well, Friday is the day when a group of teachers bring in snacks/food for lunch.  So I partake sometimes and othertimes I don't.  I think just in case it isn't something I want, I will bring my lunch.

Right now it is planned to be

1. Turkey Sandwich
2. Potato and Leek soup. It is made from a mix that I get at the Mennonite Store
3. Carrots (maybe)
4. Chocolate Cake

It sounds pretty good right now.  There maybe a major refrigerator haul this weekend :-)
 

A new month :-)

Last night was spent away from my house, so this morning's lunch rush was a bit crazy.  For reasons of convience, I broiled a steak for my lunch.  It only took 8 minutes per size, so it was quick to fix.
I then added some leftover beans and carrot loaf.
Of course my favorite was the chocolate cake slice.

I am almost there, I keep telling myself.  I mentioned my project to some people and lunch and they thought it was a clever idea.

Not quite a Halloweenie :-)

Today I had leftover baked potatoes with butter. Yum. I bought them for dinner at McAlister's deli and had alot leftover.
Then I made a turkey sandwich which everyone loved. It surprised me because I have brought it before. The difference is that I layed the meat on the sandwich a different way. While reading another blog (Foodiewithfamily.com) the woman mentioned that the way to place the meat on the sandwich is to hold the slice up, then touch it to the bread and let it "fall" on the bread. She said it really makes a difference and I guess it does.

I took a package of microwave popcorn but never used it. I didn't even eat the chocolate cake.
