I need lunch ideas please :) I got a new job last Friday and I have to pack a lunch- ugh i hate packing a lunch. And more than packing a lunch- i hate thinking about what i'm going to eat for lunch. I need some ideas. I do not eat lunch meat, the school is peanut free and i REALLY want it to be healthy- any ideas?? PLEASE! |
Cheese on rye or whole wheat with lettuce and tomato. Soup. |

Salad, cheese and crackers (snack), granola bars, soup, celery and carrot sticks with hummus. |
Get a plastic air tight container and make up a salad the night before. You can even buy veggie chicken strips to add to the salad. I use these and they are really good. Morningstar Farms - Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Chik'n Strips They also have a sweet n sour chicken that you could put over rice. I'm not a big fan of real meat, but I do like Tofu and veggie meats. Maybe boil up a few eggs, take shells off and keep in the ref. to add to your salads. It's an excellent source of protein to keep you mentally allert. Same as cheese and Tofu. Feta is my favorite in a salad. |

I usually just bring plain cheese or something easy but it really isn't enough - plus eating too much cheese isn't good for you so I mostly bring nothing....or eat trail mix or other stuff that's high in calories but not that great to get through the day on.... I'll be reading the replies too |

I agree with what you said Marci about plain salads - you can eat a bunch but never feel 'full' - but adding other stuff can really turn it into a meal .... My SIL makes THE BEST Ceaser salad - she adds artichoke hearts - olives and lots of Feta - it's better than most restaurants |

Maybe you could make up a pasta salad and add some nice grated mozzerella, olive oil, grated carrots, spinach, boiled egg, ripe olives, peas or lightly steamed broccoli. Be creative. ;) I think lunch should be the larger meal of the day, then go light for dinner. |

Adding an idea (that I need to do myself too) My husband and I used to make macaroni salad all the time - he liked Tuna in it - I didn't (I perfer it meatless) but but you could sub chicken it kind of went like this and if you cook a big pot of it - it'll make several lunches (or dinners) The shell or twisty kind of macaroni - cook al dente Mayo - or miracle whip (or regular salad dressing) thawed frozen peas Shredded or sliced raw carrots onion if you like it Any other veggies that you like raw basil - tarragon or whatever spice you like to use with macaroni and what I always use is Celery POWDER for taste - or Celery salt (I perfer powder but it's hard to find) and let it sit overnight - it always tastes better the next day |
man - now I have a mojo for Mac Salad and just did shopping for my week - Thanks ever so much guys :rolleyes: |
oh and something else very easy Melba Toast - put a layer of Swiss Cheese or Brie then after you heat - add Rasberry jam on top it's addicting (filling) and really really good provided you have a micro or toaster oven at work |
