I Used To Think
That you had a to be a special kinda stupid to "forget" to eat lunch, or any other meal for that matter. Then someone quit at work and I haven't had time to eat lunch in 8 weeks. Then I started school two nights a week which meant I was driving thru some fast-food establishment or cooking dinner at 930pm.
I've had to start getting a little more adventuresome when it came to the Frozen Dinner aisle at the grocery store.
Monday night, after driving back to Dallas, going to the doctor, going to work all day, then going to class... I was faced with the reality that I was also going to have to go grocery shopping before I could go home. I walked up and down every aisle of Tom Thumb, looking for quick fix meals for lunch & for dinners on the nights I have class.
I had heard that their soups were good, so that is what I am planning for dinner tonight after class. But my best discovery was when I made it down the boxed food aisle.
Hamburger Helper now has Microwave Singles!!!
I can walk to our break room, pour 3/4 cup of water in a bowl with one of these packs, and stick it in the microwave for 6 minutes and go back to work. Then when I go back, I put the contents of one of those cute little pop-top cans of veggies in a bowl and nuke that for about a minute.
HOT Lunch and I didn't even have to leave the office. YUMMO!

OK Rachel Ray...
Hmm.. Campbells makes microwavable soup singles that are good.. not the hand held ones, the other ones. I like Michellinnas (sp?) and Budget Gourmet, but they are frozen, so I don't know if that works for you. I just pack a sandwich lunch now that I am working on graveyards again, and I throw in some of those 100 calorie packs and some carrots, Voila! A meal. Lunchables... believe it or not, they can be filling. Uncle Bens rice bowls, and Zatarains (sp?) rice bowls are good.. also frozen. I am curious about the HH packets you found... tell me how it goes..

Oh my! Surprisingly, that does look yummy to me. I have been eating Campbells Soup Select this week.
It's hard to eat when you are on the go. You end up getting crap to eat.
