Well, it’s official.  I completed my first Monday at work.  It really wasn’t that exciting because I am still training and familiarizing myself with our top accounts, so it was kind of the same old same old, but I did take a lunch break!

For some reason, last week I just didn’t take a lunch break.  There really is no real reason why…so I decided that unless there is some huge deadline or project I am working on, I will take a lunch break.  They are giving it to me, so I better take what I can get!

I used my  new salad container.  In the bottom, I put salad with tomatoes with broccoli and cauliflower.  In the top I put salsa and tuna salad.

I also spent the break catching up on some blog reading.  I still have to figure out this whole working-during-normal-hours-of-the-day thing…

Dinner

When I got home, I knew that I needed to eat a meal with tofu (by the way, every time I go to type tofu, I type TOFY…..and giggle a little to myself.  Is it funny?  No.  But I still laugh inside)  in it, since I didn’t thaw anything from the freezer.  On Saturday for lunch, Brian and his parents ordered Chinese take-out for lunch.  I made a salad with egg whites, but I thought that the Chinese food looked delicious.  Immediately it sparked an idea in my head, and that is what inspired dinner tonight.  I did a little bit of research on the internet and based my method off of this recipe from EatingWell.com.  The end result….had Brian going back for seconds!
