Thursday I lounged around too long before leaving for work, and didn't pack a lunch. I went to QFC at lunchtime and bought a Marie Callender' s frozen entree with chicken strips and mac and cheese for $2.00. I also got a banana for $.28. I also spent $4.24 at Menchie's.
Jeremy met me after work and we went to QFC again and bought whole wheat buns for $1.49, a medium sized bag of sour cream and cheddar potato chips for $1.49, and a peach flavored sugar free sparkling water for $.89.
When we got home I made lentil sloppy joes. After doing this a few times I recommend boiling and draining the lentils and then adding them to the sauce. Otherwise the acids slow the cooking time way down. In my sauce I used ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, brown sugar, honey barbeque sauce, and a finely shredded carrot. The carrot cooks down a lot and carmelizes in the sauce, so it's barely noticeable in the finished product. It doesn't taste anything like carrots. Dried onion would be good too, but I keep forgetting to buy it.
