Sushi lunch combo B
Added BONUS: It's across the street from my work - so I can walk there!
How's that for balancing the high carbon foot print sushi?!
I could have remixed any of the elements from the week's lunches to make a fifth lunch.
It wouldn't have been that hard, once I had all of the stuff on hand.

I tried to make a bunch of healthy snacks using stuff from the garden and pantry
for 5 whole days.
I tried to make sure I had plenty of protein (but not enough for a construction worker),
decreased my salt intake (by making home made stuff, stead of packaged),
bring stuff I could snack on throughout the day that was both sweet and savoury (to satisfy both cravings),
to eat the rainbow each day,
to reduce my waste by using and washing the same packaging...
and I think I succeeded!
So how did you do with the challenge?
