Menu

* Yogurt
* Trail Mix

Add some trail mix that you've purchased in bulk.

Drop in a few organic grapes.

Add a handful of baby carrots or carrot sticks.

Falafel and Pita

This Week's Photo



Menu

* Whole Grain Mini Pitas
* Garden Tomato
* Sun-dried Tomato Hummus
* Falafel
* Sugar Snap Pea and Garbanzo Salad
* Fuyu Persimmon


Preparation Notes

It's so great to see fuyu persimmons back at the farmers' market again. This delicious and unique fruit is not only beautiful to look at, but good for you too. We purchased the sun-dried tomato hummus from a local restaurant vendor at the farmers' market as well, and picked up the falafel on our walk home. The tomato was plucked from our very sleepy-looking backyard garden, and the salad was left over from the day before.

Slice the pita bread.

Add a bit of hummus to the dip container.

Add two falafel patties.

Prepare the sugar snap pea and garbanzo salad by sauteeing the two ingredients in a small amount of olive oil and fresh garlic and then sprinkling with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. (Allow to cool before packing.)

Peel and cut the persimmon and add it to the medium container.

Drop in one tomato for color, flavor, and an extra shot of nutrition.

Arugula & Walnut Salad

This Week's Photo



Menu

* Arugula & Walnut Salad
* Garlic Lemon Dressing
* Apple Strudel
* End-of-Summer Cherry Tomatoes


Preparation Notes

The end of the tomato season is always a bit hard to stomach, but it does mean that apples are ready for picking, providing a good excuse to pack apples and apple treats--like apple strudel. For a less caloric strudel, add extra apples and reduce the amount of fillo dough and butter. And be sure to pack a healthy portion of greens for your main course.

Create an arugula salad with baby arugula, sliced radishes, and walnut halves. Pair this with a delicious dressing made of garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Add a handful of cherry tomatoes to eat on their own or to add to the salad.
