Hello Friends,
Just dropping in quickly to answer a question that I've been asked more than once in recent days. What do you eat on the run?
Let me start by saying I really am the Queen of food prep and planned leftovers. I practice what I preach, so it's not very often I find myself without chicken, hard boiled eggs or some other protein to eat.
Today, however, I find myself in this very predicament. My daughter had a Band Concert at school, from there I was off on a quick trip to the grocery store and then had literally 20 minutes to eat some lunch before heading back to school to pick up the girls. I have to admit I was starving while grocery shopping (not recommended)...and a box of Dark Chocolate Mint Oreos may or may not have found their way into my cart!!
Here's the lunch I came out with...
Calorie, fat and carb wise it fits the bill. It's ingredient list reads like a real kitchen pantry, not a chemical lab! It's one downfall is sodium. At 430 mg it's on the higher side of what I would normally eat, but once in a while, it's not a concern. (IMO)
Hummus is always delicious...the Artichoke & Spinach flavour is delicious. 50 calories for 2 TBSP, so lets call it 100 calories!
Finally...savoury thins....I chose the Cracked Wheat & Sesame variety. Perfect for a dollop of hummus and a dip in the soup.
So there it is, my kind of 'fast food' because we can't be perfect all the time...and who the heck would want to be!

This Western Family Chicken Soup is a pretty good choice, actually.
