Lunches - Page 3

Lunch? What is this 'lunch' you speak of? Cannot remember the last time I took a lunch break.

lunch? as my cousin's two year old is so fond of saying, "huh?"

i always seemed to get nibble breaks at the state hospital instead of actual lunch breaks.

Get a lunchbox and an ice pack or 2, and don't forget about lunch basics that don't necessarily need to be kept cold like fresh fruits or vegetables, peanut butter sandwiches, crackers, etc.

I like to pack a very full bag or container of almonds or cereal at the start of the week, then I have something else to much on if I get hungry in class or pack a too-small lunch, which I seem to do if I pack while sleepy.

Buy some cans of soup, or make your own and freeze it, then on days when you are in a rush, you can just grab and go!

Usually my grocery list for lunch foods for the week includes a loaf of bread, sandwich meat, apples, bananas or another fruit on sale, spinach or lettuce-for sandwich toppings and salads!, some kind of nut, yogurt, and peanut butter or honey mustard if I'm low. If you get sick of sandwiches and plain stuff, just bring leftovers from home.

*sort of unrelated, but I was very proud to make it through my first semester without buying lunch once!

Ok, so your post sent me on a google search! Sorry for double-posting, but I have fallen in love with this blog, it has tons of great ideas.

The Brown Bag Brigade: Your One-Stop Shop for Work Lunch Ideas

Great ideas... I made a list of some of my favs so I can refer to it when my creativity is lacking. One that I didn't see mentioned for those that like grains such as quinoa is a quinoa salad. Just make a large batch of quinoa (preferably in vegetable stock for flavor) and mix it with your favorite beans and veggies. Quinoa is so versatile that you can try all kinds of flavors with it.

probably thermoses.

Consider small boxes of frozen veggies with dip. I used to carry sugar snap peas that would be cold, but thawed, by dinner. WONDERFUL with ranch dressing.

I don't know what the proper term is, but I like Thermosi.

So...I'll be sure to pack a bunch on Thermosi full of healthy snacks!

I don't know about y'all, but I am in a constant battle with my dryer about shrinking my clothes (ok ok maybe it's not so much the dryer, but my back side growing)! I take 2 diet shakes- the grocery store brand or Special K brand (bc the Slimfasts taste bad) for breakfast on the go and then lunch as well as fruit or granola bar or something along those lines for snacks. I've gained a pound or 2 (or 15) since I've been home for the past 7 months being a stay at home mommy and waiting for NS to start. This routine always helps me out!

Boiled eggs, fresh fruits, soup and tuna.
