For several years now, a trip to Williams-Sonoma or any other kitchen store just hasn’t held the same allure. Don’t get me wrong, they’re full of amazing kitchen equipment and products. But the thing is – I’m all set.

I’m not the biggest fan of single-purpose gadgets, so since I already have a beautiful set of pots and pans, some sharp knives, and a few high-quality small appliances (as well as a tiny kitchen with limited storage), I’ve resisted bringing anything new home for awhile now.

Packing our lunches for the work week is a continual series of ups and downs. Since I work from home, with full access to a fridge and kitchen appliances, my lunches can be a little more flexible.

If all else fails, I can poach an egg, put it on a piece of toast and call it good. But I like to make sure that Jeff has a good lunch to take to work, too.

Some weeks, we have all kinds of blog food leftovers. “There’s buttermilk grilled chicken! !And crock pot ribs! And acini de pepe pasta salad! Or, I could make you a smoothie! Or a sandwich! Or a chicken and roasted veggie sandwich! Which one do you want?”

Other days, the “What can I take for lunch?” question is met with “Well…there’s this apple. I’m not sure how old it is. But you could dip it in peanut butter. And…there’s this half of a piece of grilled sockeye salmon. There’s one goat cheese fritter. And….mixed nuts? Is that an OK lunch?”

When I was a kid, I had a few food quirks, but nothing too crazy. I’d like to think that my parents lucked out, and I was a pretty easy-going kid. But there was one thing that was a total no-go for me. Absolutely not, under any circumstances. These Chicken & Spinach Salad Jars would not have flown with the younger version of myself.

Fruit mixing with what I deemed “real food,” meaning anything savory. Pineapple on pizza? NO. Pork chops with applesauce? Mandarin oranges in an otherwise normal garden salad? Watermelon on the same plate as a hamburger? No no no no NOOOOO. Fruit and real food were not to canoodle on my watch.
