Creative “freezer” leftovers

July 16, 2009 by DanicasDaily 6 Comments

I headed to the gym today for lunch ready to hop on the treadmill.  I did 4:1 run:walk intervals for 30 minutes with a warm up and cool down before heading back to work for a “spicetastic” lunch!

Today I took the other half of my Channa Masala from Trader Joe’s, added a chopped organic light green zucchini

and poured it over 1 cup of Trader Joe’s Frozen Organic Brown Rice.

I topped it with a little green onion and cilantro for color…..

Then mixed it up all ~ it was fantastic!  I think I might like it better this way versus eating it with Naan TJ’s product and will definitely get it again!

I added some more color with a bunch of organic cherry tomatoes.

This was the perfect lunch to power me through all my afternoon meetings.

My afternoon sweet tooth kicked in and I snagged a few vanilla and cinnamon cookies from the breakroom.  LOVE the Vanilla – they taste just like the kind with cream in the middle, only there is no cream.

I ended up working late then rushing home to try to get dinner for The Husband before he had to go to bed.  He goes to bed around 6 pm lately since he has to be at work at 3 am.  He was trying to stay up to wait for me so I just grabbed Subway on the way home.  I originally asked for a flatbread, but, they didn’t have it.  I settled for a Turkey/Ham Sandwich on 9-grain honey oat loaded with all the veggies, fat free Honey Dijon and AVOCADO!

And a handful of Salsa Sun Chips!  I am a chip person when it comes to sandwiches, I LOVE sticking them in the middle for added crunch.

All together with a Perrier fizzy water and a BIG pluot that I didn’t eat.  I might have it later but I have a feeling I am going to join The Husband in bed soon.  I need to get a good 8 hours of sleep!

    I've never done the whole chip in a sandwich thing – I feel like I missed a vital childhood moment 😉 I'll have to give it a go one of these days!

    C.G. ~ Lunch was fantastic and so were the cookies!

    Heyitstay ~ seriously, it is the best way to have a sandwich.

    Faisal ~ sorry, but, I have to delete that spam post – booo….. 🙂

    Anne ~ OMG you are a hoot – I was pondering which one I should click too – I should leave it for fun. The tomatoes are awesome!

    K ~ I can't believe you have never had chips in your sandwich – you seriously need to go do that now.

    jenny ~ oh, so fancy, jen! I never tried that combo – I should 🙂
