The CK Daily – The Lunch Dilemma
Happy Wednesday, CK Family! I hope you are having a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’m hoping that the weekend will bring some warmer weather our way, but we will see.
I have a bit of a random topic this morning, but maybe I can share some of the tips I get back from this next week with you all. Today, I want to talk about lunch.
I think lunch is one of the most forgotten meals, especially during the week, at least for myself. Some may say breakfast as well, but for me I find myself getting so caught up in the work day and just working right through lunch, and then when I realize it – it’s so close to dinner time that I don’t want to eat my lunch. Or I head to the fridge to find something for lunch and don’t have something that I feel I can make quickly enough, so end up either snacking or just not enjoying a good lunch.
Do you find yourself doing the same thing? If you’ve mastered the lunch dilemma, how have you done it? When I am making dinners or planning them for the week, I always try and cook more than I normally would just so that we will have leftovers to be able to take with us.
Working through lunch can also be tough, but I’ve been encouraged to actually schedule lunch on my calendar so that I have space to take a break and when I’m booking calls, to try and not schedule over those.
What are your tips and tricks for all things lunch? I’d love to hear them!

Adding these panels to racks allows for easy identification and faster adds/changes and modifications to cabling. Simply punch down the twisted pair of cabling in the back of the device and you are ready to plug in RJ45 patch cables in the front.
