A Back-Up Plan Lunch

On Friday, we had made lunch at my work for one of my co-worker's lunch.  It was quesadillas and a lentil soup (a Giada recipe).  Kinda strange combo, but both delicious.  I had planned to post that lunch, but none of the pics turned out for some reason.  There were plenty of leftovers on Friday so I had planned on having those for lunch today. Unfortunately, half of the food I was planning on eating was missing from the fridge :(  So the back up plan was to go across the street to the Dominick's (grocery store) and get something from there prepared food section.  

This is what I ended up with: 

The wrap they used was one of those "Flat Out" wraps.  I saw they used the light version.  Inside I got avocado, artichoke, tomato, green pepper, lettuce, and muenster cheese.  It was OK.  The whole time I was eating it I was thinking that I could have made one better.  I actually brought the apple.  It was an Organic Honeycrisp.  The apple was the highlight of the meal!  The flavor and crunch were perfect! I love honeycrisp apples!

And dessert:

I know its kind of a bad habit to have chocolate every day after my lunch, BUT... I consider my daily, after-lunch hershey kiss or other small piece of chocolate kind of like "risk reduction." In my experience, I can do a lot more damage, calorically-speaking, if my routine chocolate craving hits me and I am not prepared with a little chocolate like a hershey kiss. I work across the street from a Starbucks full of pastries and baked goods and a grocery store with endless chocolate possibilities, so it is easy for me to get something with a lot more calories than necessary.  Therefore, I stick a small piece of chocolate in my lunch bag every day and it is just what I need to satisfy my chocolate-tooth.
