BRR! It’s too cold now to have cold lunches so often, so I’m kicking off this week with some lunches that require a microwave! This one’s partially homemade: quinoa with turkey meatball & fish nuggets from Trader Joe’s, leftover roast veggies, and green beans.

Quinoa prepared fried-rice style with chicken, bell pepper, and drizzled in yakisoba sauce. Carrots, asparagus, and strawberries. I’m doing a bit of spring cleaning in my pantry - as in, I’m trying to use up most of the staples I’ve been hoarding!

This one required a bit more cooking than my usual lunches. Mini turkey hamburger steaks (which were actually failed attempts at meatballs) with quinoa cooked in chicken broth & asparagus, glazed carrots (eyeballed this recipe), and steamed French green beans. Whew! And, to keep up with my faux bento theme, I’ve pushed in some frozen veggie pieces into the meatball-patty hybrids and arranged some randomly on the quinoa.

Prepared tomorrow’s lunch: turkey hamburger steaks (eye-balled some chopped onion, mushroom, dash of salt, pepper, panko, and egg) with quinoa (cooked w/ low sodium chicken broth and spinach) and a side of mixed veggies.
