Thank you guys SO much for all of your comments!! Since I was behind the 8-ball, I "entered" everyone into the random number generator :) And I wish I had bought more so everyone could be the winner... but instead, I split up the goods to share the wealth! Erica, MacDuff and Heather McD, please email me at tri2cook [at] gmail [dot] com with your mailing addresses and I should get these out to you soon!
While I'm here, I need to give a shout out for Megan's Black Beans & Rice w/Pumpkin Vinaigrette, which was fantastic! I used one of kashi's new packet grains, and also added a bag of spinach that I'd sauteed with garlic (thanks for the idea Heather!). Fantastic dish that will definitely be repeated. In the background is just a turkey scallopini that i seared in a pan and topped with salsa, seemed to fit the theme. And yes, that is a huge serving and a tiny piece of turkey!!
For a couple lunches this week I made up a small Apple Ham Bake with sweet potatoes (hence the container instead of a plate. It was quite yummy, but I used more curry powder than called for, and next time would use even more as I didn't taste it very much. It has potential, I might just play with the seasonings a bit. (Rosiecat, did you know I had this up my sleeve??)
Have you guys seen these? They are the snap -n-lock type, but with glass bottoms, which I prefer when reheating food in the microwave. Love 'em! I try to bring my lunch all the time, although there is too much free food around. One of the reasons I cook so many different things is that I try to scale each recipe to 2-3 servings, so as not to get bored and eat the same thing for lunch and dinner 3 days straight (done that, not much fun). What I bring, varies on what I am trying to use up or whether a particular recipe strikes my fancy. Often it's something that could pass as dinner, i'm not that discerning :)

A tv giveaway? Haha my neighbors are giving away their tv, but it's analog, so it won't work much longer, even though it's a nice tv.
oh wow, those look sooooo yummy! i love sauteed spinach...i made an Amy's teryaki bowl tonight and added sauteed spinach, its vegan u should try it :-0
Whooo hooooo! Could I be more excited???? All your food looks awesome. I need to get glass bottomed containers for our lunches! I feel terrible having and cooking things in plastic!
Black beans and pumpkin vinegarette?! Delish!
Oh my gosh - catching up on blogs. Just read the winning names. So excited. Thank you so much!
Your meals look fabulous. I always add more curry than the recipe calls for. You can never have enough curry...although your house might smell like an Indian restaurant for a few days. :)
I definitely learned my lesson. Keep the leftovers to a minimum, and I ALWAYS reheat in glass. Never plastic - yucky chemicals.
Have a good night!
Congrats to the winners. Your meals look really delicious especially those black beans! I love those glass containers, I hate using plastic in the microwave, those are great.
Congrats to the winners!
Glad you enjoyed the black beans and rice and vinaigrette! Thanks for the shout out!
I need to try the glass containers!
Mmm, I'm hungry for beans and rice now.
Isn't that pumpkin rice the best! I want to make it all the time now! It's one of my favorite meals.
Pumpkin vinaigrette? I need to check this out...
I love your containers and the food looks good too! Yahoo for the winners!
Heehee! Yay for lunch! I'm not surprised your lunches could pass for dinners--mine too. I eat soup for lunch ALL THE TIME. It's the ultimate meal-in-a-bowl.
That Apple Ham Bake looks like breakfast for dinner!
