What a development director in Louisville, Kentucky ate for lunch for a week
Welcome to Happy Desk Lunch, a series from HelloGiggles celebrating what real people eat for lunch. Every week, we’ll look inside a different person’s grocery cart and see how they used those ingredients to create a lunch for themselves each workday. Because life is messy and it can’t be all Mason jar salads and perfectly prepared rice bowls. Submit your story to Happy Desk Lunch.

Monday lunch
Monday was a holiday, so I worked from home. I had multiple bowls of cereal and there was no one to judge me. 🙂 I ate in my front room on the coffee table.
Tuesday lunch
On Tuesday I was back in the office at my desk. I was excited that I actually remembered to bring my lunch! I made a sandwich with Hawaiian bread, roasted red pepper hummus, deli-cut chicken breast, and pepper jack cheese. On the side I had some yogurt (Yoplait Whips), an apple, and sparkling water.
Wednesday lunch
I kept it low-key and had an Uncrustables peanut butter and jelly sandwich with sparkling water and fruit (blueberries and strawberries).
Thursday lunch
Thursday I had a hot meal in the staff lounge so I could use the microwave. I had a Thai veggie noodle bowl with coconut that was really good. I also had an apple and some blueberries along with water.
Friday lunch
Friday I got to work from home again (yay). I ate in my home office. I chopped up some fruit (strawberries, cucumbers, and blueberries) and had a sparkling water with a shake (almond milk, protein powder, coconut, agave).
