It’s lunch time!  And because I was feeling quite lazy last night (and left my lunch bag in the fridge at work) I didn’t make a lunch.  At least I didn’t make a major component.  I had some carrots and cucumbers leftover from yesterday that were still in the fridge at work in said lunch bag (shocking that I didn’t eat them, I know!) and threw a Motts Plus Fiber applesauce in my purse this morning.  I knew I had a few things in the pantry that I could have for lunch but then I also remembered that I had 3 Lean Cuisines in the freezer at work.  Perfection!

So today’s lunch was the Stuffed Rigatoni Lean Cuisine  (one of my all time favorites) and all the other stuff mentioned above.

I forced myself to eat the raw veggies first.  Because well I just don’t like them.  I’m much better at eating veggies when they are cooked.  But I got them down and was proud.  And then I got to have my pasta.  Yum.  I love carbs.  It’s bad I know, but they are just so yummy!  So how do I dive into this bowl of pasta?  Much like I used to dive into a bowl of Lucky Charms when I was 6.  Except instead of eating all of the ‘gross cereal’  first and saving the marshmallows for the end, I ate out all of the veggies first (because this thing is pretty loaded with them) and saved the pasta for the end!  Proof:

So I may be a grown up in the fact that I own a house, work a 9-5, stress over money, and LUST over appliances (hello pretty blue front loadwasher)… but I’m still a 6 year old kid at heart when it comes to eating my veggies!
