#7 noodles & egg

Miss C's lunch consisted of leftover teriyaki noodles, with hardboiled egg (see below), watermelon kabobs, and frozen "gogurt".  My lunch consisted of leftover noodles, leftover chicken, and leftover egg that I peeled very badly and did not make the cut to be in the molds. I had been browsing lunch blogs for over a year now, and besides the "lunch box" bento idea, these egg molds keep popping up on posts from various blogs. So I bought some molds. Because they are too cute. Then I ran into this YouTube video on how to use the egg molds. The most difficult part of it was peeling the hot eggs, because you have to put the peeled egg into the mold while its still warm.  

day 2: leftover chicken penne

My husband and I both work full-time so we share cooking responsibilities... I have to admit, he does more cooking than I do lately. This is what he made last night: Easy Chicken Penne: 2 boneless chicken breasts, cubed 1/2 package (1/2 lb) of penne pasta 2 cups broccolli (we used frozen but fresh is also good) Philadelphia Cooking Creme (Savory Garlic) (find it by the cream cheese at the store) Directions: Cook pasta according to directions. Brown and cook the chicken. Stir in the broccoli until its half-cooked. Throw in the pasta and add cooking creme. Stir for 3 minutes until hot. Voila! chicken broccoli penne carrot sticks+ranch, yogurt, juice This is my lunch... I should have grabbed a little ziploc bag of carrots. And I want to get fun lunch boxes, but I have a cabinet full of these gladware at work since I have a bad habit of leaving them there. Once every 3-4 months, I take a big bag of containers home.
