This lunch was so delicious – and watching The Office on NBC.com with my headphones made it all-the-more enjoyable 🙂 Kelsey and I were both watching and kept laughing out loud
I had a Hummus (Sabra) + Pepper + Spinach Sandwich on GH Honey Wheat Bread.
Plus a little container of leftover salad and veggies from yesterday’s lunch –
Chobani with some GoLean –
And a fruit salad: grapes, grapefruit, blackberries (which were $1.50 yesterday!) strawberries, kiwi!! But I saved most of it to have later. A classmate of mine always has a huuuuuge tupperware of fresh fruit that she eats during our afternoon class. I am always so jealous! So last week I decided I’d bring some of my own to enjoy 🙂
Mystery Recipe Unveiled
Remember when I made this Mushroom Mac?
Well here’s the recipe – on The Mushroom Channel! The Channel has asked me to develop and post a few mushroom recipes this year to celebrate my love for shrooms. This one was a BIG hit the night we made it, and I want to make it again looking at the photos!
Mushroom Mac ‘N Cheese with Mustard Greens
I’ve pittered online long enough -time to crack open the books.
VeggieGirl says
Hell yes for ‘The Office’ and an abundance of fresh fruit 🙂
Good luck studying!!
brandi says
Wasn’t The Office great last night? It was too funny.
Pam says
Ahh The Office! Hilarious! Delicious looking lunch too!
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
I love mushrooms too! I look forward to your recipes!!!!
Amanda Cowan says
Just had to say that I LOVE this blog! It’s been so motivating. I also thoroughly adore your recipe for whipped banana oatmeal and I even made it for my husband this morning who declared that it was the best oatmeal he’d ever had. I was wondering what you are going to school for? It sounds right along the lines of what I want to study when I go back, which is Nutritional Science.. I’m just curious! Thanks!
Sarah says
Just out of cusiousity- how long does it take you to eat lunch? I know you eat a lot of food b/c your choices are low-call & high-volume. It just seems like it would take a while to get through all that!
Marianne says
Like the recipe for the mac & cheese. Would spinach be an acceptable substitute for the mustard greens? Can’t say I’ve ever seen them in stores here.
Marisa says
I’m officially de-lurking. Kath, I love the blog and am inspired by your healthy food choices and daily exercise.
Question for KERF readers: Are there any blogs out there similar to this one that are written by someone who is getting back into shape? Maybe training for the first 5k, 10k or half marathon?
Oh She Glows says

What a colorful lunch and even better that you ate while watching Micheal, Dwight, Jim, and Pam!
Mushroom + cheese = bliss. Thanks for the recipe link.
Diana (Soap & Chocolate) says
Sabra hummus is haunting me all over the blog world! I have no choice but to go pick some up, as much as I’d like to say TJ’s is good enough (it is pretty good actually…but let’s get real).
I hear you on the Chobani with Kashi GL – that was b’fast for me this morning! Holds me over SO well!
Diana says
I love The Office!
Does anyone know if Chobani is available in Canada? I have never seen it in stores but I’m eager to try it because EVERYONE features in on their blogs!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
How cool! So many wonderful opportunities seem to come your way!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says

Last nights episode of the office was defiantly amazingly funny! My abs hurt from laughing so much 🙂
The Duo Dishes says
Love love love hummus. It’s on today’s snack list with cherry tomatoes!

seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
Woops, pressed Submit to quick. ANyways, i really appreciate fruit (ESPECIALLY berries) here at college….oh i miss them so!!
Missy (Missy Maintains) says

Erin says
I love hummus sammies!
Marlow says
I watched The Office online today too! I kept hoping the Superbowl would end at 8:30 but no such luck! 🙂
Kate says
Wow! That’s quite a spread! Had to comment on the fact that those were 1.50!??!?! INSANE but lucky buy! I am going to watch the office tonight I can’t wait!
Hallie says
I am inspired to get my booty out and go grocery shopping for fruit now! I wish I craved veggies like I do fruit, but 99% of the time I’ll take a fruit salad over a vegatable salad.
Kaneil, Balance is Best says
Last night’s episode was hilarious!! I love that show!
I’m envious of your discount berries – I must find some on sale around here! I am about sick of frozen berries.

Victoria says
That Mac & Cheese sounds good. I haven’t seen last night’s episode of the Office yet. I’m looking forward to it. Gotta love Hulu.com

Jessica says
Oh my goodness, Kath! Have you eaten or heard anything about Panciuto in Hillsborough? I just heard about it tonight and after looking at the menu am really wanting to go there – they have hazelnut cake with banana ice cream and pumkin ricotta cheesecake with a cookie crisp crust!! Of course the first and second course offerings sound great too :o) http://www.panciuto.com/menu.html
Kath says
Jessica ,
It’s new (since I left town) and I haven’t ever eaten there, but my parents have. They think it’s good but a bit overpriced. Maybe we can go sometime when I’m in town 🙂

Bev says
Kath , when you use hummus as a base for a sandwitch do you have any trouble with it getting
soggy ?
Kath says
Bev ,
No problems with sogginess. Sabra hummus as well as the homemade kinds I’ve made are rather thick.

Sarah W. says
