Good news with a side of fettuccine

Haven’t done a desktop lunch review in a while because I have been so busy at work there hasn’t been time to blog while eating. This is why I need to be independently wealthy. Today’s mid-day nourishment is a steam-in-the-bag meal from Kashi and is a lighter version on an Italian restaurant fave, chicken fettucine. [...]

Desktop lunch review: a brownie for breakfast

It’s all about the protein, people. Apparently protein is the answer to every question when it comes to bariatric surgery, weight loss, muscle building and what you should get your mother for her birthday. PROTEIN! So I went protein shopping at the hippie-dippie natural foods store, which ironically has almost no natural food but has [...]

Desktop lunch review: breakfast version

I have been trying a variety of protien shakes for breakfast on weekdays because it’s easy and I am trying to get used to the month I will have to live on these shakes both pre- and post-op with bariatric surgery. So far, most have been pretty tasty. And I have learned to read the [...]

Desktop lunch review: 2 for 1 and a little light reading

I didn’t blog yesterday’s lunch because I was crazy busy. Not that I am not busy today, but at least I am not working through my lunch today. Yesterday I had a frozen burrito from a company I think is called evol. Hard to tell since it insists on inversting the “e” in its logo. (Word [...]

Desktop lunch review: Non va bene spaghetti

You have no idea how hard it is for a woman on a diet to throw her lunch away. But that’s exactly what I did today. Amy’s Light & Lean Spaghetti Italiano is, according to Google translate, “NON VA BENE!” NO GOOD! As in nasty. Part of the blame falls on me for not noticing [...]

Desktop lunch review: Going hippie

Did you know that there’s real food in the nutrition aisle of the supermarket? I always knew the nutrition aisle existed, but never saw how it applied to me. I ventured over there years ago when it was the only place to buy Greek yogurt. As soon as that shit went mainstream in the regular [...]

Desktop lunch review: More pasta, less angst

Yesterday I was throwing my own pity party after meeting with the nutritionist about my post-surgical dietary restrictions. That conversation was jolting in a shit-just-got-real kind of way. Today I have a better perspective.  My relationship with food has to change and taking the most drastic step of bariatric surgery will help force that change. [...]

Desktop lunch review: bring on the barbecue

Today’s frozen concotion comes from the kitchens at Healthy Choice and is inspired by one of my favorite Bravo shows, “Top Chef.” I have a long workout tonight, so I chose the most rib-sticking lunch I could find in my freezer this morning: barbecue seasoned steak with red potatoes. Why, oh why, do these things [...]

Desktop lunch review: Jalapeno time

No desktop lunch review yesterday because  I ate lunch on my kitchen counter at home  I had a sick cat clean up after and take to the vet so no time to critique the food I ate my frozen meal so fast I barely tasted it The good news is the kitty seems to be [...]

Desktop lunch review: A pita party

I kind of messed up today’s lunch selection, so I will do my best to provide a critique based on what should have happened, not what did happen. Today I tossed a Lean Cuisine snack in my lunch bag, Broccoli Cheddar Dip with Pita Bread. This is part of a new fad in diet frozen [...]
