What We’re Eating For Lunch In Our Kitchen

Since moving out of my kitchen, I am often feeling incredibly proud of myself when I practice what I preach and pack a lunch to bring to work. I often have the thought- Hey, I work in a kitchen. There will for sure be something there I can eat. And usually there is. A smoothie. I have more smoothies for lunch than anything else. Buuuut- sometimes I want more. The stakes have been raised too since Sondi and Maeve are forever coming to work as the professionals that they are, with these beautiful fresh veg filled lunches. As I am on my computer much of the day, like you, I see the tweets and facebook posts from all those nutritionists and nutrition lovers out there.Often I find myself thinking- Really? Is that really what you made today? As they share with the world that they were up at dawn harvesting their own buckwheat to soak it, sprout it, dehydrate it, and grind it to make their own raw sprouted flour to be mixed with sunlight and a dollop of bliss and then formed into a tortilla to put their garden grown gold inside and bla bla bla. I read that as I sip on my smoothie feeling a little inadequate and kinda lazy. Where I come from, lunch has to be realistic and realistic means quick, easy, energy giving and little to no clean up.
