when I put my lunch together this morning. I had two low carb wraps (50 cal each) two fat free hot dogs (40 calories each), sauerkraut for the dogs, cucumbers, carrots, peppers and a wedge of light laughing cow cheese. When I put it all in calorieking.com it only came out to 285 calories! Definitely not enough, so I went to the cafe in the next building and got a cup of cream of tomato soup (approx. 210 calories) to round out my lunch.
So I am still trying to figure out what recipe I am going to do for this weeks BSI recipe contest. The ingredient is kale, which I am not too fond of (made kale chips that didn’t work out to well!) so I am thinking I am going to “hide” it in a bean soup with the beans I got yesterday.
I have 30 minutes of my lunch break left and am off to blog read – so many blogs, so little time! Come back tonight for grilled chicken breast sandwiches with bacon and swiss and oven fries!
You could come over and try my Zuppa Tuscana recipe, it has kale in it and it is very good and extremely easy. But I am sure what ever you make it will be fabulous as always.
Your lunch looks wonderful. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I am glad you like it.
Your lunch looks so colorful and healthy. Can’t wait for the dinner!
gosh that seems like such an amazing lunch for only about 500 calories – i love how you include calorie counts – it convinces me that I can loose weight and eat well! =) thanks
MMM tomato soup with Tabasco! YUM!
I did know that about your brother… I read his blog too!
Wow, what a neat blog you have here! I love it. So many healthy looking food choices. I loooove food but have a tendency to overlook the butter/calorie count 😮 Maybe coming here to visit will keep me in line! Thanks for the inspiration.
Mmmmm tomato soup my favourite (especially with a big chunck of hot buttered bread)
I hardly dare say what I had for lunch today after reading about yours. A cheese burger, fries and cherry slush from Sonics. And yours looks a hundred times better. I’m jumping on your band wagen. NO MORE Burgers with Fries.
Have a great day.
Tabasco is necessary in all soups 🙂

i’ve been doing that alot lately with my lunch, underestimating the amount of food i have (or just bulking up with veggies?)
Hmm….not a fan of kale here. It still looks tasty! 🙂
Love the lunch – looks fantastic (even if it came in too low on the calorie scale!)
I don’t like kale either…maybe because I didn’t find the right recipe for it! looking forward to read your BSI recipes! 😀
Hahaha, good idea with hiding the kale… But have you tried to saute kale? I find that it tastes so good like that! =D
Sorry you dont’ like kale. I think it just has to be prepared the right way. I like kale chips but I don’t recommend them for kale newbies 🙂
