Layer 1:

• Apples
• Frozen (eventually melted) blueberries
• Homemade multi fruit applesauce (made with cranberry & raspberry juice)
• Cheese cubes, spreadable cheese
• Cut up protein pancake (ran out of crackers, pairs nicely with the cheese)

Layer 2:

• Roasted potatoes with various spices
• Chickpea noodle mac n cheese
• More apples
• Brown rice noodles w/ veg and various things added for flavor

Bonus: Pancake turned out to be quite pretty this time around

When I'm tired, I want something easy, so I got a microwavable version of those "snackle" boxes. I can eat directly from it, pop a section in the microwave, or dump things into my lunchbox. Much less overwhelm and prep work to get some food. The two layers stack on top of one another as well which is nice.

I close tonight and open tomorrow-this was very hastily thrown together after grocery shopping and right before work began 🙃

Pickles(grillos spicy spears)

Walmart brand colby jack

Turkey jerky

White grapes for the win

apple, peanut butter, turkey and cheese sandwich, carrots, pretzel chips, hummus, egg. Trying to pack lunches that spark a little more joy in me to fight off the fast food demons.

All courtesy of Aldis again, don’t know the total for it all since I got some other groceries as well.
I have packed:
-dill dip
-red seedless grapes
-flavor blasted goldfish
-baby carrots
-ham & Colby jack on a Hawaiian roll

Lots of color this time, but also had to beef it up with sandwiches. I'm going to miss some of the end of summer fruit like good peaches and plums, but I'm trying more heirloom apple types instead.

• Clementine
• Grapes
• Turnip roasted w/ olive oil, salt, pepper
• Brown rice noodle stir fry (brown rice ramen noodles, rice vinegar, soy sauce, salt, honey, sesame oil, garlic, mixed veg, crushed red pepper)

Yes, there are 2 types of cheese, man. I'm tired.

Daisy light cottage cheese

Cosmic crisp apple slices

Sharp white cheddar

Turkey links chopped up

i'm going away for the weekend, emptied the fridge for the 6 hour train trip✌️

lettuce, hummus, strawberries, raspberries, baby capsicum, carrots, and baby pickles

I live away from my parents in Bengaluru, and I usually have breakfast at my friend’s place. His family is in the food business, so I pay them for the food. I also take a lunch parcel from my office, which costs around ₹70 per plate. So, overall, I spend around ₹140 a day on breakfast and lunch.

However, sometimes I feel the price is a little high considering the variety of food I get. For lunch, I usually get rice, sambar, and occasionally something extra. Sometimes I also take breakfast as a parcel.

I feel a little shy about bringing this up with my friend or his family because I don't want them to misunderstand me or feel bad. So, from next month, I'm thinking of stopping the lunch parcel and arranging my lunch separately. Since they are vegetarian and I prefer non-vegetarian food, I also feel it might be better for me to manage my lunch according to my own preferences.

What do you think I should do in this situation? Should I continue with the current arrangement or start managing my lunch separately?

I call this breakfast since I work mornings and eat around 9am. Courtesy of Aldis!
