Finally Found a Healthy Meal I Can Take to Work That I Can Get Excited About

The protein bars were a processed, sugary disaster.

The peanut butter sandwiches were a calorie nightmare.

Turkey cold cuts had slime, chemicals, and sodium. Plus I had to keep them iced.

Soy "meat" was high in salt and too processed, not to mention its tendency to soak men's systems with estrogen.

So I finally found something I can make Sunday night and have enough for my work week.  I make a huge salad of quinoa and lentils, about 6 cups or so, then drench with a Trader Joe's 12-ounce jar of bruschetta, add Italian or cilantro dressing and top with sliced almonds. 

I dish out about 1.5 cups into a Pyrex bowl, bring a spoon, an apple and a tangerine, and I'm ready to go to work without starving.

I just received the August "National Geographic" in the mail. On the cover is a picture of a cupcake. The caption is, "Sugar, Why We Can't Resist It."

I dig sugar, sure, but I don't crave it like I crave pesto garlic pizza and cheeseburgers.

I like salty, crunchy things better than sweet snacks.
