I often buy a stack of lean cuisine or healthy choice frozen dinners when they're on sale, mark them with my name, and stash them in the school kitchen freezer, for days I don't have time to pack or can't find anything healthy at home. (If I keep them at home, my kids eat them...) Other times I take soup* and homemade bread (from my bread machine - I LOVVVVE my machine), left-overs from previous night's dinner, or cheese and whole wheat crackers, low-fat yogurt, and a piece of fruit. I prefer food I can eat while reading, since I usually am reading then (I always have something I need to be reading), and soup - though yummy - is a bit messy unless you watch what you're doing! I only take a sandwich when there's no other choice and then it's usually a bagel and low-fat cream cheese with a tiny smear of homemade strawberry freezer jam or a slice of real cheese (none of that fake plastic American stuff), tomato, lettuce and dill pickle on 12 grain bread. This is the year I start watching my fat and cholesterol levels, though, so I should start using mustard instead of mayo, and switch to low-fat cheese. I have been known to take PB&J if there's absolutely nothing else.... not a real good choice. I also keep a box of low-fat granola bars in my desk drawer, for the (thankfully rare) days I'm too busy to go get my lunch from the kitchen and a handful of small chocolate candies (kisses or whatever) for days that only chocolate intake can save (thankfully even rarer). Have a healthy happy new year, y'all! Betty Winslow, Media Center Director BGCA Bowling Green, OH bgcalib@wcnet.org * my favorites are homemade: southwestern chicken, broccoli cheese, fifteen bean, and chili. I can send a recipe for #1, if anyone wants it. I sent it two yrs ago in Dec. and people liked it. Crockpot easy, low-fat, and yummy! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
