Costco comes through again! Our friend brought us individual tiramisu cups - we ate the tiramisu (delicious!), and are left with glass cups that are a perfect kid size. Apparently it's a thing!

Still loving Caro Chambers's good-all-week salads. This one is based on a taco salad variation she suggests, but with kake instead of cabbage, because that's what was handy. Pretty yummy, and love having something I can dish out for lunch with no fuss!

Warm, comforting soup. Potatoes, onion, sausage, bacon, coconut milk, chicken broth, and spinach (though I typically do kale).

From this recipe, though I don't buy whole-30-compliant anything, nor do I make my own sausage. 40aprons.com/whole30-zupp...

A tan, creamy looking soup, in a clear glass bowl. Chunks of red skinned potatoes are visible, as are crumbles of sausage, and a few pieces of bacon. A translucent piece of onion sits on top of the soup, and multiple pieces of bright green spinach are visible.

An open face taco on a flour tortilla, with brown, juicy looking ground turkey, sprinkled with orange shredded cheese on top, and punctuated by black beans. All resting on top of a circular tupperware lid with a green seal peeking out.

Melissa Clark's one-pan orzo with spinach and feta (w/ cilantro this time! and didn't have green onions, so did red). More beautiful when fresh, but leftovers gonna leftover.

Surprisingly well received by kids. And pretty easy!

A small portion of slightly tan orzo in a glass bowl, with army green peas, and shriveled bits of dark green spinach visible. The portion is small because I'm halfway through eating it today!

Trying Caroline Chambers' good-all-week Italian sub salad.

Kale with chickpeas, parm, salami, mozzarella, pepperoncini, olives, red onion, shredded carrots, Dijon, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon, and salt & pepper.

A salad in a rectangular glass dish, with my pieces of bright green kale, small half moons of pink salami, small bits of bright yellow pepperoncini, shiny slivers of pickled red onion, and a few chickpeas and tiny carrot and mozzarella cheese pieces peeking through.

Ate my #goodlunch before lunch, because I got hungry.
A rectangular three section glass container filled with lunch. One section holds red salsa, another section holds off brand triscuit crackers, and the third, largest section holds orange cheddar cheese slices, and sliced roasted brussel sprouts with tiny pancetta cubes.
