Week of March 25th

Considering everything that happened, last week was a success. I ended up not having lunch at work for two days, so it remained 3 lunches. Here is what happened:

1. Wild Rice Salad I didn't go to work, and I actually ended up not having lunch at all.
2. Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Mast-o-Khiar) This was super yummy, I had it with stuffed bell peppers persian style (kind of like this one). My favorite dish of the week.
3. Quinoa Tabouleh This was super good, but I got hungry very soon.
4. Mango Blueberry Quinoa Salad I  liked this one as well, I have come to the understanding that berries make salads super yummy.

Next week is the last week of my challenge to have salad everyday at work. Because I missed some recipes during last weeks, and due to the mere fact that I am lazy to search for other recipes while those ones haven't been used yet, the next week plan is a mixture of new recipes and old ones. My friend asked me how I choose the salads. It is based on what I feel like having on Sundays (which is my grocery shopping day) and what I have in the fridge, and of course Google. I google the ingredients and if I find the recipe appealing to my taste, I add it to the list. The issue with this approach is, you might not still feel the desire to have what you wanted on a Sunday during the week. But that is the best I can do for now, otherwise if I don't plan ahead most probably I will end up having mall food every day.

Here is the plan for next week:

1. Sprouts Salad
2. Chicken Celery Salad
3. Wild Rice Salad
4. Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken
5. Green Salad With Dried Figs and Nuts

I am not sure if we have this Friday off or next Monday for Easter. If the Friday is off, then it would be a 4 day week. We will see.
