I keep getting stuck at sandwiches, leftovers, and salad. I thought of doing a thermos full of soup. There's gotta be more to lunch than that!
All I have at work is a microwave which I won't use, so I am a bit limited.
Any other ideas?

All depends on what you like, but I make a bulgar wheat salad with edamame, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions with a light dressing that rocks--it keeps you full, and is adventurous (as opposed to sandwiches :)) I get really bored with food, so it's got to be interesting. I also take leftover homemade pizza, or if you like sandwiches, shake it up and do alternatives--falafels in pita, or something like that.

What about making the sandwiches more special? Maybe served on Pita or a bagel instead of bread. Add sprouts and special condiments. I would bring fruit too! That will make your lunch both healthy and delicous :)

I love the pita idea! We get a big box of fresh organic produce delivered every week, so sometimes I just graze on fruits/veggies throughout the day, which I really like. Thanks for getting my brain going. I see a yummy pasta salad in my future!

I like to make peanut butter and honey sandwichs with pancakes and waffles. I also do a lot of burrito wraps with all kinds of things in them, eggs and cheese, beans and veges, carrots and celery with ranch dressing, steamed broccoli or cauliflower with cheese. I even have put leftover corn with green onions and diced ham, it's amazing with a little italian dressing! Try a baked potato with a seasoning blend shaker to sprinkle it with. That's one of my 10 y/o daughters favorite. She eats it like an apple! Don't forget the old standbys of fried chicken, mashed potatoes (which make a great sandwich), and corn on the cob. All great cold or hot!

I make a "pasta" salad with couscous, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, fresh parsley, and little olive oil and lemon juice. It's really good chilled, especially if you top it with a little plain greek yogurt.

Katrina, you could also use pita pockets instead of bread. They sell different flavors of pita too. One of my favorites is the onion flavor.

A big favorite of ours is flour tortillas spread with cream cheese and avocado. Just spread and then fold the tortilla over (or do two separate tortillas) and cut into wedges. I also use the cream cheese and avoc spread tortillas to then make a wrap with cucumbers, carrots and red peppers cut into matchsticks. I have not done that one in a while...now that I mention it, it sounds delicious!
Enjoy!
Peace, Love, and Joy |
