Blah

I’m beginning to wonder about my lunch posts.  I’m afraid they have become (or maybe always were) a bit stagnant.  Reading blogs has inspired me to be more creative with what I pack for lunch and have encouraged me to pack more substantial lunches.  I used to pack very small lunches, then realized the reason I was ravenous at dinner was because I wasn’t eating enough for lunch.

Lunch today was leftover 17 bean and barley soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt, roasted acorn squash, Kashi crackers, and three clementines.  It was nice to have hot soup since I’m feeling kind of blah today.

Blah.

Since I’m lacking creativity and wit today, please be entertained by some links and articles I’ve frequented lately.
