Lunch Blues

Between the time I wake up and leave for work, I have only 2 hours to make the lunch for both of us. Maybe super moms can make lunch and get dressed up, but I am not. And it’s already 10 pm when I get time to check the clock after dinner. I barely have no energy at that time to make a huge lunch except making some quick 15 minutes salad for the next day.

I generally make a sandwich or wrap for my lunch. For the past couple of days, I am really bored with Sandwich. Even if I bring a sandwich to work, I end up feeding that to my husband 😉 and buy a packet of chips for me. So last Friday, I was browsing different lunch options and downloaded few cookbooks for lunch on my kindle touch. No, I did not follow any cook book to make this – I just did it on my own.

I used Trader Joe’s Israeli Couscous. You can add many things to this like adding black olives, shallots, green onions, baby spinach. Sadly, I did not have them in my home.

I had this with mango – banana – pineapple smoothie. Also very low in calorie!
