I toasted sourdough and put the portobellos with hummus, red peppers, feta, and arugula and a little drizzle of balsamic. It felt so gourmet compared to my usual work lunches.

That sounds terrific

Oh, I would love this sandwich. Thanks for the idea!

We do crackers, cream cheese and smoked oysters. Yum!

On the food board, I found a recipe/suggestion for a very simple lentil salad, based off one published on the smitten kitchen website.

It's basically a package of Trader Joe's precooked lentils, mixed with a jar of their bruschetta dip. You can switch it up however you want. I added some lime juice and cilantro. It's very good and a nice, inexpensive lunch option. It would be great atop salad greens.

Yum. Dinner solved, thanks. Trying to decide if I’m going to add bacon. What would be a good bacon substitute? Maybe some chopped smoky almonds….

I would just go ahead and add bacon, but I also recently made crispy seasoned chickpeas (just peel, season, and bake until crispy) to top salads with and you can season however you want and they offer a nice crunch -- you could season with chipotle chili power or similar to get a smokiness.

Perfect! I’ve been meaning to make crispy chick peas.

If you have an air fryer, roasting the chickpeas in there really makes them next level.

Speaking of chickpeas, this was great. I used “fresh” chickpeas made in the instantpot because I prefer that to canned. But either will work!

I also love this chicken salad with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It’s like 4 pts on WW and the flavors come together beautifully.

Grilled boneless skinless chicken thighs, marinated in a mixture of mustard, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, and turmeric. Served with grilled veggies and Greek yogurt dipping sauce.

Going to do this, for sure. I have been addicted to those lentils for years, but never tried the bruschetta dip. Thanks!

My wife wants to try and do flexitarian, but no animal products specifically during the week. Today she made some black bean burgers with tomatoes and onions and a chipotle sauce. I had a big salad as well. Definitely enjoyed it.

We actually eat this warm and use it as a dip. We sprinkle feta on top. It’s delish!

The butter part isn’t healthy, but I’ve been gorging on the incredible fresh artichokes the stores have been carrying. Can’t get enough! It’s been lunch nearly every day.

Instead of ice cream, I put 1.5 cups of frozen triple berry blend and pour .5 cups of fairlife chocolate milk over it. Crush it up a bit. It’s a nice sweet treat.

We have been eating tons of strawberries. They seem to be especially good this year. Tonight we also had fresh corn on the cob that was terrific.
