packed lunch - work, school, picnic, etc

you spend almost half your life sleeping, so a good mattress should be a priority…

so, what about your lunch, particularly when you are at work?

you know the pleasure of a getaway and a picnic, you know how important your lunchbreak is…

share you boxed meals on the go :wink:

I work from home.

Fried egg sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, and boiled dumplings are my most frequent lunches

I rarely was able to prepare boxed lunches when I worked at an office.

Most of my lunches were a slice of pizza, Greek chicken and rice, or a Chinese lunch special from the food court, way back when

I work close enough to home to lunch with DH on leftovers, salads or something he conjures up.
And keep a quart of this in the work fridge when I can’t or want a snack that isn’t a bagel or pizza.
Its high in sodium so not a daily indulgence but its pretty good.


When I worked, I would make & freeze my lunches for the week on Sunday afternoon.

A couple favorites were rice and chorizo, ground beef mixed with Mac & Cheese, or rice & ground beef with BBQ sauce.

The glad ware containers I used were microwave safe, so a hot lunch was my norm.

I usually bring leftovers of whatever I’ve just made for dinners. Could be pasta, pizza, chicken, starch, and veg, stir-frys over rice…

If I don’t have something like that, I’ll pull some soup from the freezer.

If I don’t have or want that, I’ll make tuna salad for sandwiches or PB&J.

If none of that works for me, I’ll go to the restaurant a floor below my office for a sub or sandwich there.
