forgot about dinner!

[Anonymous]

I'm working from home and intended on cooking, but got caught up. I really don't have time to cook now, and I have no clue what we are going to eat. (we don't have a lot of groceries in the house - was going to grociery shop today, but work got the best of me).

So in a bind, other than traditional fast food (which I absolutely hate!), what can my DH pick up on his way home???

We are not extremely healthy, but we are trying hard to be. We have a 16 month old who isn't terribly picky!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

We are in NOVA, my DH's office is in Alexandria if that helps.

Rotiserrie chicken and sides.

Prepared food from the grocery store. Giant and Safeway and Whole Foods have a fairly good selection. Not gourmet, not that healthful, but better than Mickey D's!

Chipotle. Veggies, guacamole, black beans, brown rice, salsa or pico de gallo.

Chipotle is healthy if you don't load up on cheese and sour cream.

Just make scrambled eggs with cheese and toast.

Eden center is my first choice if you're in the area.

a salad with meat, the pepper & onion mixture, guac, tomatoes and salsa IS fine. it is protein, healthy fats and veggies. fat is not the enemy! carbs are.

The salt is the enemy.

Tortillas, refried beans (reduced salt), cheese, onion and tomatoes and sour cream if yiu like it. Make your own veggie quesadillas. I sautée the onion and chooped tomatoes separately for a warm salsa that goes inside but you can use jarred. Throw in whatever other vegetabl you have blanched first if its broccoli or something similarly crunchy.

You can also do a big chopped salad ( cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, onion , avocado and hard boiled eggs and canned white beans for protein).

Whole Foods in Alexandria has a nice salad bar. Also, there is Hard Times Chili.

Or Potbelly Sandwiches.
