At home usually salad in a wrap, sandwich or on a plate. Usually with smoked salmon or turkey. Sometimes I'll have a green smoothie.
If I'm at the shops I always have Sushi. Love sushi and will eat it any chance I get. No fried fillings.
I try to keep my fruit for snacks as I'm a diabetic.

You sound like me! It is a challenge for seniors! With our diet differences and my IBS limitations it is very difficult! Everyone has posted great ideas but unfortunately most are off my list of possibilities. Love soups but hubby not a fan. arrggghhh!! This is a terrific challenge right now. I guess we will eventually figure it all out! Thanks to all for the input. Boy am I hungry! haha!

Stir it together, cook 10 min in the microwave. It doesn't always take 10 minutes, it all depend on if the vegetables are cold.

Most day its a mini smorgasbord. Cheese, crackers, pickles, and fruit. If there are leftovers they are usually dinner the next night. I'm not cooking two days in a row if I don't have to. I have a kitchen because it came with the house.

I often eat Rosarita no fat refried beans, (many different flavors these days) spread on a flat corn tortilla shell.
Top that with some shredded lettuce, tomato, radish, quesadilla cheese and homemade salsa (with no oil). It's quick, light, just filling enough and satisfies my Mexican craving.
If I have leftover chicken or beef, I make a quesadilla of it with cheese and maybe some sauteed onion/green pepper. I top that heated dish with either fresh avocado slices or homemade guacamole and more homemade salsa.
Sometimes I heat 4-5 Triscuits topped with cheddar cheese slices and eat that with a small bowl of lettuce/tomato/whatever-veggies-are-handy side salad.

Jan, that all sounds delicious. I don't get enough Mexican food since I left Texas.
