Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I usually take Yoplait yogurt and fruit, or a roll up made with provolone cheese and hillshire farms deli ham and turkey – add pickles and fruit and a diet coke and I am set. My kids sometimes take heated leftovers if they feel like keeping up with a thermos. Tom’s light bread ( in the files) makes a great pb and J sandwich.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I take pretty much anything you could imagine. Anything that is, except salads. I don't find them satisfying, unless it is a nicoise salad with tuna fish, green beans, and a little potato. I'm often very busy and so I want something that won't result in me starving if I can't eat for a long time. I take leftovers from dinner the night before, like pizza, rice and chinese, thai, or indian stir fry (frozen rice is easy), spring rolls (not fried), rolled vegetable sushi (I like avocado)... Pretty much anything you can imagine for dinner, I take for lunch. Thai kitchen rice noodles are convenient, but I mostly like their small packets (onion or garlic), not their instant packages. I also enjoy sandwiches, using a variety of breads by Bette Hagman (not so crazy about the garbanzo flavor of Tom's). My favorite combo is hummus with avocado and low fat swiss cheese, with lettuce or tomato if I have it. > From: SillyYaks [mailto:SillyYaks ] On Behalf > Of LaURi* C > Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 7:59 PM > To: SillyYaks > Subject: Lunch! > > > > What does everyone eat for lunch thats easy to take to work? > I need some variation from salads with assorted toppings.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Same here. Pretty much anything goes for me. Today I have a ham & cheese sandwich with chips, an apple, & a pudding (I always need something sweet in the afternoon) :-) I normally just bring leftovers from the night before's dinner. It's convenient, just pack in tupperware when we're cleaning up dinner and grab & go in the morning. Yesterday I had lightly coated, pan seared tilapia with red beans & rice (and my apple) for lunch. I've never even taken a salad to work. Not as satisfying as hearty left-overs. HA! > > I take pretty much anything you could imagine. Anything that is, > except salads.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I frequently bring left overs. I also like rice cakes with pb & j. I sometimes make tuna salad and bring a container of that and the Energy GF crackers, spread it on them and it is pretty good. Amy's microwave GF stuff is pretty good too. What about a bowl of mixed fruits? I have also the night before made pasta salad with the privious nights left over meat, like chicken, pasta, mayo, celery, peas, cheese, s & p. I have done corn chips and salsa. > > What does everyone eat for lunch thats easy to take to work? > I need some variation from salads with assorted toppings. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm not able to work, but I do occasionally need to pack a lunch. I use a soft-sided cooler with freezies in it. Pea salad is a favorite of mine: peas, mayo, diced tomato, shredded cheddar. It can be eaten plain or on rice/corn cakes. Corn cakes with sliced cheese. For folks who eat tuna (being vegetarian, I do not), tuna salad can be dressed up with artichoke hearts, olives, etc. Eat on corn thins or wrapped up in lettuce. Spinach salad/dip wrapped up in lettuce. Fresh spring rolls (tapioca wraps, tons of veggies, a tasty dipping sauce). Caprese (mozzarella, olive oil, tomatoes, basil). Chickpea salad with roasted peppers and feta. Veggies with a garlicky cream cheese dip. Hummus or baba ganouj + veggies and corn chips. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 We've had Thai Kitchen noodles for quite a while in the states. I like some flavors more than others- am not a huge fan of their instant noodles (that you just add water to), but it's great to have the option. SO CONVENIENT FOR A PLANE TRIP!!!! Actually, I wanted to share- today I had a great " instant " lunch by Taste of Thai. You just add water and microwave the container for a few minutes. I took along a ziploc baggie of fresh spinach and threw it in for the last two minutes- it was great! (I had the coconut ginger flavor- haven't tried the others yet.) They state vegan and gluten free on the label. The noodles were a good texture too... http://www.atasteofthai.com/quickmeals.cfm > > Not to sure if you can get this brand in the states but " Thai Kitchen " > now has a single serve size instant rice noodles & sauce. Tried the > Thai Peanut for a future quick meal for my daughter and it's not bad. > It also states right on the package GLUTEN-FREE & VEGAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
