I get a lot of grief for my dining out ordering style. At Chipotle, it goes a little something like this: "Just a little brown rice ... extra lettuce ... could I get a little more chicken? Sour cream on the side." So, okay, I admit -- I can be a bit of a Sally Albright (you know, from When Harry Met Sally), but that's only because I'm trying to be healthy. And now I know I am really not that crazy, because there are people out there who are even more particular than I am ... So much more!

Take this totally insane story out of East Hartford, Connecticut. A man named Rother McLennon called 911 -- because his deli sandwich order didn't meet his specifications!

Packing school lunches is probably not up there on any mom's favorite list of tasks, but bringing lunch from home (theirs and yours!) is healthier, cheaper, and can even be the green choice if you do it the right way.

The average school-age child will throw out 67 pounds of trash over the course of a year just from lunch alone. That is a lot of landfill. But there's a greener way. Check out the latest episode of Mom-Ed:Green Living (and our tips) after the jump so you can go from tons of waste to no waste with a few simple changes.

Oh office lunch. Why aren't you more delicious? I try to bring my lunch to work every day. That's because buying lunch in Midtown Manhattan can run you around 10 dollars. I did the math on what that would cost me per month and then I had my memory erased because the number was so horrific. (No, not really, but it's way too much.)

So what to pack for lunch that's not boring? I'll often just pack leftovers from dinner, but on days when there are no leftovers, I draw a blank. And a blank mind first thing in the morning is not going to get you fed a lunchtime. That's why I came up with this handy list of packed lunch ideas.

National Grilled Cheese Day came and went last month, but who needs a holiday to indulge in the all-time fave sandwich? In some households, every day is National Grilled Cheese Day. What can you do? It's just so easy and the little ones can't get enough!

But sometimes, you want ... okay, you need to mix it up. Have no fear, because here are seven easy, speedy variations on the classic grilled cheese sandwich that you're bound to salivate over.

Lettuce is one of those food staples you always buy and then a few days later, it sits there beginning to brown and wither in the fridge, and you're like, "Why did I buy that?"

Still, you hate to  throw away a perfectly good bag or head of lettuce. That would be wasteful. So here find 5 ways of using up that lettuce!

What is going on here?Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! Did you know that's today? Like I need another excuse to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. As long as you're not lactose intolerant there is much to love about this non-holiday. Much indeed.

We already shared with you a full platter of scrumptious grilled cheese sandwiches ideas. But did you know there was a dark side to the classic? There are those who would twist the sandwich into something so unholy, so revolting, it's almost unrecognizable. Witness: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Gone Horribly Wrong.

It's just what we're craving right now and there are so many tasty salad possibilities out there. Here are the best salads you could be noshing right now!

The name of McDonald's newest sandwich sounds like a joke -- The McRibster. The ingredients would be even more laughable ... if they weren't so horrifying.

It's like the cult classic McRib, but more in every way. No mere pressed pork made to resemble a rib cage, the McRibster raises the bar by adding cheese, bacon (mmm, pork on pork!), and -- if you can believe it -- even more. The official description from Burger Business describes it as containing the following: "“juicy pork, bacon, pepper-Jack cheese, and crunchy iceberg lettuce, red onion, delicious honey-mustard sauce and spicy sweet chili sauce.”

And oh yeah, that pork is juicy because it's breaded and deep-fried. I can hear the sound arteries clogging and waistbands expanding now.
