My lunch, that is.<\/p>\n

I go through phases where I buy frozen meals for lunch at work. I am currently in the middle of one of them.\u00a0 I learned a long long time ago, that unless I add extra veggies to those meals, they won’t last me long.\u00a0 I’ve also learned to not eat out of the trays, since it’s so depressing to see how small that meal really is.<\/p>\n

I decided on a double-whammy today:\u00a0 add veggies to the frozen meal AND have a salad along with it.<\/p>\n

So to get myself in a salad mood, I broke out one of my Laptop Lunchboxes.<\/p>\n

Note to myself — do not buy this meal again. They must have changed the recipe or something, but I don’t like it. I had to do some serious spiking with crushed red pepper, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce.<\/p>\n

At least it looked okay, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
