Lunch for me is usually whatever is left over from supper the night before. Most meals last me for two or three servings. I try to make a pot of chicken or vegetable soup once a week and portion that out for lunches. It is the easiest way for me to have a meal and I use a lot of meat in my soups so they are high in protein.

We are in for a few weeks of very cold weather and snow. Most of the time in the 20's. The last few years we had little winter weather so this feels strange. I have been experimenting with making bread lately. This weekend I made one with bisquick and beer. It was too sweet and I threw most of it away. Today I am making a whole wheat and oatmeal bread with honey. Whole wheat takes a long time to rise so I will be playing with it most of the day.

My cat has learned fetch and brings me his ball for me to throw it. He wakes me up at night with the ball in his mouth and looks so cute that I have to play with him.

The diet that Teenie posted yesterday has some recipes that look great and I will be making some of those recipes in the next weeks. I am no longer trying to gain weight so will concentrate on getting in protein and lots of good vegetables.

Have a great day everyone.

Sorry to have offended someone by starting and missing previous posts. Don't worry...I won't start again.

QOTD: when it comes to a healthy lunch what?s your go to? Do you lean in on protein first or something else?

I am struggling with lunch. I have been extremely lazy about it and it shows, I?ll have some protein pancakes or something out of the freezer( chicken bites or a pancake on a stick). Sometimes it?s a couple of boiled eggs with cheese.

Thanks for sharing this. I looked through it and there are some great recipes. I am going to follow this for the high protein and good meal ideas.

Ron and mom love the Giant Eagle Pot Pie in their prepared food section.

That is a great idea. I do a lot of Doordash and order things I think I will enjoy. Lately I got my appetite back and enjoying eating again. I had Meals on Wheels one time after being in the hospital and remember that there was a lot of really good food in their deliveries.

I usually do an order from Walmart or Giant Eagle once a month and do look for things that are already prepared and I can just heat up and have. Giant Eagle here has wonderful meals like stuffed cabbage or roast turkey dinner.
