One of those days (or maybe not)!
Ironically, I spent several hours last night making food for the week.
I made a nice quinoa salad with walnuts, sunflower seeds, goji berries, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
I made some hummus.
And I also made up a salad and a huge rice and bean based casserole.
This morning, I packed up some salad, some hummus, and some quinoa and got ready for work. I then proceeded to go down the stairs, without my lunch, get in the car, and drive to work.
I hate that!
Luckily all is not lost, because like the good gluten-free health conscious foodie that I am, I have food stashed everywhere.
Case in point: at work I had a container of unopened hummus, a cup of frozen tomato and white bean soup (which is currently thawing), a small bag of baby carrots, a carton of coconut milk yogurt, and – as if that wasn’t enough – a huge stash of Larabars and miscellaneous dried berries!
Moral of this story: I have way too much food floating around the office!
Oops, wrong!
Moral of the story (take II): if you keep non-perishable healthy snacks around you at all times, even the most potentially disastrous food days can be avoided!
