Smoked Salmon for Lunch
Coming up with appealing lunches to pack can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.
I love a challenge
Really, I’m growing more and more every day to enjoy packing Pat’s lunch. Oh, sure, sometimes I’d rather throw the lunch box out the nearest window than spend ten minutes packing food to put into it.
So here’s something new I have been giving him sometimes that he likes a lot:
A bagel - one of those with “everything” bagels that’s got all sorts of seeds on and in it. He can split and toast it at work.
Cream cheese - I put a good-sized portion of cream cheese in a small plastic container.
Smoked Salmon - a couple of ounces of smoked salmon wrapped in plastic wrap or in a small baggie.
He assembles this when he opens his box for lunch — He toasts the bagel, spreads the cream cheese on it, then tops it with the salmon.
His lunchbox typically looks something like this:
breakfast - yogurt with berries and granola or a package of oatmeal
lunch - a sandwich, wrap, leftovers or salad
snack - a Payday candy bar, an apple, or some cheese and crackers
Packing his lunch isn’t a burden at all, but another way to bless someone I love.
