Today I decided to join Krystal at work's February-March Lunch Challenge! As she describes it, the challange is "...to not spend any money on lunch/snacks/coffee/tea during work days from now until March 31st". This will be tough for me, but definately doable! Wish me luck!
For more info on the challange, visit:
Today I brought Oatmeal and fruit cocktail for breakfast.
A granola bar for morning snack
A salad and Meatloaf Muffin for lunch
Carrots for afternoon snack.
I didn't mealplan this week, so I'm going to get one together today for this week and next week.

Good for you! I just stocked up on the Soup on Hand cup thingies for DH's lunch. Can you please share the specific of meatloaf muffins? DH isn't exactly a sandwich guy and I've done the bagel/cream cheese thing. I also saw PBJ muffins for the kids. I'm definitely in need of lunch options! Thanks in advance!

The meatloaf muffins are easy. I either use a normal meatloaf recipe & just divide the loaf by 12 & bake in a muffin tin.
OR is use this modified recipe:
Meatloaf Muffins:
1 to 1.25 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 egg whites
1 cup water
1 box Stovetop Stuffing
Diced Onion as much as you like
Mix together and divide into 12 muffin cups that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
To bulk them up, I've been known to put in some extra veggies- green pepper, carrots, ect. These are easy to make and freeze VERY well!

Thanks, House! Definitely will get these on the menu - and if they freeze well, sounds like a great option for those nights when we're not all together and small ones need to eat! Will report back! Thanks!
