Lunch ideas

We're going away this weekend with SIL, her BF, and two of their friends. We are staying in a condo so we wanted to bring breakfasts and lunches with us from home, and then go out for dinners. I have my breakfast under control, but I'm looking for ideas for lunch. SIL is making soup and grilled cheese on her day. I was contemplating just buying assorted lunch meats for sandwiches, but SIL is a vegetarian.  Any thoughts? Looking for something I can prep ahead of time because we will be in and out, skiing and such. Thanks!

    Alex is a vegetarian and loves vegetarian soy "lunch meat." Some vegetarians are picky and won't eat "fake" meat, but it's worth checking out. Also, yummy salads with chicken for the non-vegs and  avocado or beans for the vegetarian.

  • I like Becky's idea. I was also going to suggest maybe a snacky type lunch, I love to do this all the time. Maybe have a veggie tray with some hummus, stuff to do sandwiches, little finger type apps that are vegetarian friendly or something like that? That way everyone can load up on what they want.

  • I like the idea of a salad as Becky suggested. You can pair it w/ wraps and chips/pretzels.   I love veggie wraps and chicken wraps with pesto sauce. The prep would be easy since you can make them the same and just add chicken to one set of them!

  • Veggie burgers or patties that can be easily microwaved or just a whole assortment of veggies for a yummy veggie sandwich. :)

    Maybe a pasta thing that you can make ahead of time and heat up?

    Bean/Cheese burritos

    Mini pizzas with different toppings (Digiorno has little mini pizza dough all ready to go. Just get some sauce, already shredded cheese, maybe some mushrooms and spinach or other veggies (all pre-packaged and ready to go), if you want meat, you can throw a bag of pepperoni or diced ham or something... so everyone can make their own pizza... throw it in the oven for a few minutes to heat up... Yummy :)

  • PS If you're skiing, I would suggest something hot/warm... just a thought :)

     HAVE FUN!

  • Soup?  Not sure if you'll have a crockpot where you're staying, but a nice warm soup sounds lovely after skiing.

  • Ravioli with either marinara or pesto? French bread and/or salad on the side

    I made these spicy noodles, and we ate it warm (just didn't do the fridge step) and it was awesome! a bit spicy but not crazy http://asmallsnippet.blogspot.com/2011/03/spicy-thai-noodles.html 

    Frito Pie - I've heard it's kind of a west coast/regional thing, so I'll give you the gist in case you don't know what I'm talking about. Fritos, chili (you can get vegetarian!), cheese, mix all together - yummy deliciousness and easy. Though not healthy ha
