That’s Interesting
Lunch was interesting today. Not gross-interesting, but I-am-surprised-this-tastes-so-good-interesting. 
I will definitely make this lunch again. It was SO EASY!
Last night, I whipped-up an eggplant, avocado, and cheddar cheese quesadilla for lunch today. I laid all of the ingredients on a Hemp Tortilla and cooked it on our Griddler just long enough for the cheese to melt. It was the last Hemp Tortilla in the bag, so after the quesadilla cooled, I popped it right back into the bag to take with me today. Fast and simple. What’s your favorite quick and easy lunch? 
I also ate a Cherry Pie Larabar and watermelon chunks with lunch.
I have an iced coffee (or perhaps an iced Americano?) on the agenda for later this afternoon.

I’ve been wanting to cook eggplant for quite some time now, but I have no clue where to begin. How do you cut it? Can you eat all parts or does it need to be cored? I’m clueless
I’ve never seen that tortilla before. It looks yummy! Is it available at Stop & Shop or did you have to go to TJ’s?

haha – i love when random ingredients thrown together turn out good!
and i definitely have to try those hemp tortillas – where did you get them?
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
@Melissa: I just slice them up and throw them on the Griddler (after I spray it down with non-stick spray). I’ll do a video soon!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
@Cait (Cait’s Plate): The company sent them to me, but I think you can order them directly from the website.

Yummy lunch! I so wanted to buy a loaf of the hemp bread… but it was like $6
I couldn’t do it… of course, I pay for Ezekiel bread, so you think i’d fork out the other $1… but can’t seem to do it since Ezekiel products can be a stretch some weeks!

The quesadilla looks GREAT! I should start making some goat cheese quesadillas…
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
That lunch looks awesome!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I really like those hemp tortillas! I made black bean and cheddar cheese quesadillas with them a few weeks ago.

I LOVE all those links! Thanks for posting them!! I was a bit worried at your title but glad it turned out to be a delicious experiment!

great idea! the eggplant is such a pretty color.
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Wow Tina, you write alot! That’s awesome, how do you balance it all? Very carefully I imagine
Awesome sounding (& looking) lunch
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Good combo! Are the flax tortillas good?
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I just checked out quite a few of your articles – great stuff!

Avocado totally makes the sandwich! I’ve been including it in my lunch daily whether it’s a salad or sandwich.
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Eggplant and avocado are my favorite–I’ve never tried them together…I’ll have to try it!!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Oh…the tortilla looks incredible! Delish!
I’m off to read some articles!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
love eggplant and avacado together! adding cheese makes the perfect combo!

My favorite quick lunch is ants on a log! Ha Ha! I love it, and it works especially well when I’m low on groceries and don’t have time to go to the store either. I usually pair it with another quick favorite: yogurt, fruit and bottom of the bag cereal. Yum.
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
interesting…i’ve never thought of grilling a sandwich/quesadilla for later on – does it hold up?
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Hmm hemp tortillas.. I must try this!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I really need to try some hemp products. Great lunch. I usually eat at my desk-not fun, but that is life:) I do pack my lunch every day. I love veggie/hummus sandwiches on whole wheat or in a ww pita. So easy. Salads are good too! I usually have fruit/ Greek yogurt for my afternoon pick me up. Soup is good in the winter too. I always pack the night before so I don’t get lazy:) Love your articles! Have fun tonight!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
What great ingredients in your tortilla! I seriously would never have thought of adding eggplant and avocado. Do you think baked squash and avocado on a wrap would taste good?
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Love the avocado/eggplant combo. Do you think squash and avocado on a tortilla would taste good as well?
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
@Jenny: I’m not sure. You’ll just have to try it!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Nice job on the pita! That was very creative
Great job on the articles, too.
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
My favorite quick lunch is an omelet with goat cheese, spinach or kale, and onions. I always have those ingredients!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Tina, I am so impressed with all your writing! Hope you had fun at the event, you are really making the rounds
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Hemp tortillas! I didn’t know they existed! I’ve tried the bagels and LOVED them, but the price is a bit out of my range.
Your Healthy Examiner posts are awesome – keep ‘em coming!

Those hemp tortillas look so good! I need to try them! French Meadow Cafe/Bakery is actually in my neighborhood so I should really hit it up!!
on Jul 16th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
You always find the greatest hemp products. First bagels, now tortillas? They sounds great!
on Jul 17th, 2009 at 12:02 am
I am a total hemp nut, so I really need to find these tortillas!
