what do you take for lunch?
For almost the last 8 months I have been taking frozen meals, I need something different!
Re: what do you take for lunch?
Leftovers. When planning meals I try to make enough that I'll be able to take it for lunch the next day or two if need be. I ate frozen meals for probably 2 or 3 years and I can't do them anymore.
If I don't have leftovers, I'll bring a sandwhich and chips/fruit. Usually lunch meat, but if I don't have any, a PB&J is always a possibility!
I take leftovers most of the time. My backups include:
Cheese and crackers
A cheesy
Chips and salsa
PB&J
Pretzels with PB
Yogurt and a granola bar
Nuts and a string cheese
I always bring some sort of fruit or veggies and a treat.
I can't do frozen meals. I had a lot before getting pregnant with Evan and now they disgust me.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
Mostly leftovers.
We also do PB & jelly, a black bean wrap (really good, I have the recipe at home and it make a ton that you can freeze, this is also good as a dip with chips), soup, salads (in the summer I do a pasta salad or a ham & bean salad that is good for a light lunch).
I snack a lot. Trail mix in the morning. A fruit in the afternoon. Some chocolate or cheese and crackers in between.
I do some fast food- soup from Mangia, chicken sandwich from Arby's, Jimmy Johns. Depends on if I am picking E up from pre-school or not.
I dont take it as much I used to, I need to start again though. What I used to bring varied on what sounded good at the time I went to the store and what produce is on sale. I like the green giant frozen veggies that are for one or two people, I will bring those and eat them with my lunch quite a bit.

Cajun turkey, cheese, shitton of spinach, and mustard on multi-grain bread with an apple at 3:00. Every. single. day. (including Saturday.) Hell, I'm home on vacation, and I'm eating it right now!
