And Sometimes We Microwave

I've been living off of the drive-thru these days. An old mountain biking injury has caught up with me, and I'm on bed rest. In the morning, The Dude piles our family into the car; I take him to work, get breakfast burritos for him and The Nug (and hash browns for myself, if I'm too hungry to wait for something better), and then pick up my neighbor and run her on errands while The Nug naps in the back of the car. At some point, I usually hit up the Starbucks drive-thru for soy milk and oatmeal. Then I don't eat again till The Dude gets home and makes something for me. This is how I avoid standing and walking at home, so that I can avoid exerting myself except in cases where I'm needed by The Nug. 

I've run out of disposable income, though, so some standing and walking a bit today was inevitable; enter the microwave.

Here we have corn tortillas (this particular brand has no gums or preservatives added) spread with garlic hummus, sprinkled with brown rice and Pecorino Romano (aged sheep's milk cheese - like Parmesan, but not from cows), seasoned with dried basil and cumin, and microwaved for 20-30 seconds apiece. Garnished with prepared spring greens mix and mild kimchi. Coconut water and pumpkin spice tea on the side (prepared several days ago and also microwaved, that last one) - still harder on my body than drive-thru, and a mess if I let The Nug try to feed himself, but the only thing easier would have been microwaved vegetable juice (once I heat it, I call it "tomato soup") and I will probably have that later anyway, so... I'll take it. Sitting down. ;)
