Day 4: Lunch--Grilled Cheese

For lunch today, I have a grilled cheese that comes with lentil salad and a brownie (although as you can see from the picture, it looks more like a muffin).  I was nervous about reheating the grilled cheese in the microwave as I felt as though bread gets weird when microwaved.  The texture of the bread turned out fine, but as you can see from the picture (I finally decided I should take pictures of my meals), the cheese melted out.  I first microwaved the grilled cheese alone for 30 second and then added the lentil salad (which came in a small plastic container that was clearly not microwaveable) to the dish and microwaved another 30 seconds, but when I started to hear popping/see the cheese melt out, I stopped it a little short.  Probably should've microwaved the lentil salad first and then the sandwich--oh well!

The grilled cheese sandwich is on french toast bread and while I'm normally not a big fan of sweet and savory together, the sandwich was surprisingly delicious.  When I first saw the meal, I figured this would be a meal I'd substitute for in future deliveries, but it was so good, now I'm not so sure.  I am a big fan of lentils and lentils have great nutritional benefits and are filling so I wish there was more lentil salad.  In fact, I'd prefer a larger portion of lentil salad over the brownie.  I realize that sounds crazy and the brownie was very good, but I'm not a huge sweets person and can live without/don't need dessert--especially for lunch and especially when I'm on a diet.  I'd much rather have a larger, more filling portion of the lentil salad which was yummy and I guarantee the amount of lentil salad that is equal to the number of calories in the brownie would be more food than the brownie itself.

As for the brownie, as you can see I kept it wrapped for the picture so that I could then heat it up when I was ready to eat it.  It was fully defrosted and tasted good on its own, but if you can have a warm brownie, why wouldn't you?  I heated it for about 30 second and it was predictably delicious.
