I have become increasingly concerned with what I perceive to be my diminishing intellect. If you have met me or ever read my writing, you may not realize that I have a triple-digit IQ. I do. Really. I used to be considered smart when I was a kid. Those days may be gone forever. With [...]

Desktop lunch review: Plain and simple

My stomach was uncooperative this morning, and thus I don’t have much of an appetite today. So lunch is Greek yogurt with a chewy granola bar crumbled in it. Boring. My digestive track had better get it together because this is Third-Month-Insanity* weekend, which as an Indiana girl means it’s practically a religious holiday, and [...]

Lately I am becoming concerned about my short-term memory. It’s a daily struggle to recall all the things I am supposed to do and should keep track of, and the more that gets piled on the less I seem to be able to grasp of any of it. Today’s lunch is a prime example. I [...]

See this double-shot-white-chocolate-mocha-no-whip I have balanced on the steering column of my VW Beetle? If it does its job, it should keep me from slipping under my desk for a nap this afternoon. I worked late last evening, I am running errands on my lunch hour (including pumping $40 worth of gas into my tank, [...]

I am a girl who likes options. A rebel. A rule-breaker. Rock and roll. Today’s frozen bit of diet goodness is Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisian Creations Grilled Flatbread with grilled chicken, marinara sauce, peppers, onions and reduced fat mozzarella cheese. The instructions on how ways to prepare this feast in the microwave were almost [...]

We all make mistakes. Some of mine have been epic, but this is not the time or the space to open my baggage, except when it comes to lunch choices. And today’s selection? A culinary misstep. Lean Cuisine Deep Dish Spinach and Mushroom Pizza –with a four cheese blend and a creamy Alfredo sauce — [...]

Yes, it is almost 4 p.m. and I am just now eating lunch. I am trying to eat when I am hungry. I was busy through lunch and wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t warm up today’s frozen novelty, Lean Pockets Pretzel Bread Sandwich with turkey, bacon and (reduced fat) cheese, during my typical lunch time. [...]

I know enough not to expect too much from these frozen lunches. They are what they are: A portion-controlled form of caloric restraint that keeps me out of the drive-thru lines and hopefully into small jeans. That said, I really hate it when the photo on the box bears only a small resemblance to the [...]

Long time, no eats, I am afraid. I did not post about a single lunch last week because I was so busy that many days, I just spun the Wheel of Death in the vending machine and took my chances on what it would yield. Other days, I just nibbled on pretzels or some other [...]
