Just sayin ;) Love the lunch bag. TOO cute. Anytime I have to pack a lunch (which usually isn't toooo often), it usually includes a salad or a big container of cut up veggies with a dipper like hummus, an apple, maybe some cottage cheese or yogurt, and a bar. Pretty much what you have haha. Maybe leftovers if there's something good, or a wrap, which always make a healthy and easy lunch choice! I think Justin needs to make his way on over to Canada.

I like the idea of taking the dip to go - I've made ABU before but usually just at home. My standard lunch is 2 slices Ezekiel bread with a thin smear PB&jam, carrot sticks & hummus, granola bar, and apple or orange. Doesnt require refridgeration and easy to eat during transit or on the go. Your lunch looks fabulous! I like the idea of taking the dip to go – I’ve made ABU before but usually just at home.

I made lots of soups (with tons of veggies & grains - they were more of a stew I guess). I also like wraps with laughing cow & lots of veggies. The toddler is in love with wraps with olive hummus & cucumbers right now. I also used to pack some portioned-out savory snacks. And I like string cheese. And carrots & cucumbers and hummus. I when I could tolerate them, I liked hard-boiled eggs. I just realized that my lunches these days are pretty much the same as when I ate lunch in the office... :) Oh, and thanks again for making me addicted to Balance bars! Just what I needed... ;) Love your lunch bag! ;)

I must resist the urge to drool everytime I see that photo. I can't decide if it's the thought of Maple Almond Butter or the sight of Justin... :-D String cheese, nut butter, hummus, Laughing Cow, crackers, sandwich thins, tuna, egg salad - all those things usually make a lunch appearance once a week. Sometimes more... Can't wait for the big reveal! :-) Justin has that photo of you and Deb on the Justin’s Facebook page and I found leafing through his other photos the other day.

But I was always very partial to soups (I would transfer from can to tupperware at home to avoid awkward office can-opening) + AB +J on an english muffin. I usually need some sort of sandwich or sandwichish component to lunch and nut butter + jelly or a banana always held me over well. Oooh, and I always packed something to eat as I left the office (I guess that's where your apple came into play) bc hungry commutes are the WORST. Haha I ALWAYS wish I'd learned Chinese when I'm in need of assistance in Chinatown (usually this involved needing help ordering :)) I haven’t had to pack a lunch in a while!

And I totally want your lunchbag it's so cute. I usually cook all my meals on the wknd to eat during the wk and pre-cut veggies and fruits then also. I tend to throw in a Laughing Cow cheese wedge or some kind of dairy. I love bringing salads and other sides of veggies to eat along with my main entree, I say it like it's elegant when it's in tupperware eaten at my desk!! Holy crap—Justin’s hot!!!

I think it really depends on the city. I grew up in Zurich which has a "big city feel" even though it is small compared to other world cities (its Switzerland, come on!). haha I know live in Iowa City, which is great because it is a university town, which generally means more educated people. I like both for different reasons. While I have never lived anywhere else, I feel very uncomfortable in cities like NY and Paris. It feels unsafe and dirty. I have had many strange encounters there! But I have to say, I am spoiled because of Zurich (apparently one of the world's cleanest and safest city). Mhh baked potato!

When a local joint has a website with nutritional info, that makes me super happy also! I've never in Indiana, Florida, West Virginia, Arizona and North Carolina. I am a city girl and my ideal environment would be smack in the middle of the city where I could walk to everything. How fun and yay for public transportation :) I’m sure you will have good stories.

Good for you. Reading your posts makes me want to move to California. The restaurants always seem so much better and more varied (I mean, a place that specializes in SOUP!?! I love it!) and the calorie counts on the menu, that's a plus. I love that your soup came with an egg, such a great idea. I also LOVE that Matt put baked means on your potato!! That really sounds delicious. I love baked beans, and I'm sure they were the perfect compliment to that potato. I would also add a scoop of plain Greek yogurt!
