Darwin Cafe
Darwin Cafe is one of my favorite work-lunch spots in San Francisco. I’ve even been back about three times since I’ve been funemployed because I love it so much. It’s one of the few restaurants that gets me actually excited to eat a salad!

Stable Cafe
Despite living just a few blocks of Stable Cafe in the Mission for 1.5 years, I never actually tried this place out. Such a shame, because it’s actually pretty great! Their menu offers a variety of paninis with different fillings and the classic ‘put an egg on it’ option. The coffee is pretty good but beyond anything the outdoor patio just makes for an idyllic lunch on a sunny day.

With yummy prawns. This cold and otherwise refreshing dish was surprisingly spicy— just the way I like it!

Greek (Yogurt) Salad
Romaine lettuce with cherries, slices of red plum, a helping of non-fat Greek Yogurt, and some crunchy almonds! Yum! Why am I not laughing with this?

Broccoli & Fennel Salad
I made this for lunch yesterday. Didn’t have any salad dressing in the fridge so I used 1/4 cup of butternut squash soup instead (only 25 calories, way less than that amount in dressing). It was really good, this bowl was packed and yet the whole thing including the shredded cheese is just barely over 150 calories.
