There are many already prepared items you can buy in the freezer or frig section of the store....but to save money, make things yourself. If you like soup, prepare canned soup or heat up homemade soup and put in a wide-mouth thermos....or microwavable container. There are many kinds of salads you can make besides tossed salad. Also, cottage cheese with canned sliced peaches or pears. Bring fruit salad or just a piece of fruit. If you made up a taco salad for dinner then you can bring leftovers with to work. Cheese and crackers is always good. When you fix dinner at night just make extra so you can bring leftovers to work the next day!

If there's a toaster at work, take an English Muffin instead of bread and toast it, then butter it. I sometimes put a piece of cheese on it.

I add a fresh banana and lunch size cups of raviola, macoroni, cheese & crackers which all can be cheaply purchased at the Dollar Store.

Some of my favorites I did regularly was chicken fingers using the already breaded frozen ones. I would cook them before work let them cool then put them in a baggie. you could reheat them if you have a microwave or eat them cold which is what I did. I would save the little dips you get from fast food restaurant to dip them in. I also made wraps with tortillas sliced ham lettuce and again I would get the mayo packs from restaurants to put on them because they didnt have to be chilled.

Make extra servings and wrap and freeze so you can grab something from the freezer for lunch if you are in a hurry, pasta. lasagna, enchiladas, homemade soups or chili, any casseroles. Also things that go well are salads with dressing to be added at work (if you have a fridge at work, just but a bottle of dressing and leave it there,) yogurt, bagels, veggi sticks/slices with or withour dressing to dip, cheese chunks, breadsticks, fruit, yogurt, quesadilla or wrap sandwich, sandwich with deli ham, turkey, roast beef, leftover chicken. Almost anything you ate at home can be eaten at work.

I suggest you invest in two things: one of those little freezer packs and an insulated lunch bag. Wrap the freezer pack in a face cloth and put it in your lunch bag. I bought both of mine at the local Dollar Store, they're cheap as anything, and I've had both of mine for four years now. Even cheaper than that is a bottle of frozen water, which you can drink as it thaws. I'm a vegetarian, so I have mostly meatless recipes, but it's super easy to make your own meat sandwiches as well. Here's some thoughts: - slice up about six slices of english cucumber and put them in a baggie. Add a tiny jar of mayo or cream cheese and two slices of homemade bread in a seperate baggie. This keeps your bread from getting soggy and the cucumber from dryng out. Take a butter knife with you to work and spread the mayo over the bread slices, then add your cuke. Yum! (Works well with tomato too!) - Faux Chicken Salad Sandwich: drain a can of chick-peas and mash them up. Mix in a little mayo, some honey mustard, some relish and any spices you like. Stir until all nice and spreadable. Store in a little container and take to work with two slices of bread. Spread on the bread and enjoy! - Enough sandwiches. Now let's talk salads! :D Salads are super simple. Again, the key is keeping everything cool and seperate til you're ready to eat it. It's best to have a little freezer pack or a bottle of ice. Romaine lettuce or baby spinach is best when going with a leafy green salad -- iceburg lettuce offers you absolutely no nutrients. It's nothing but chlorophyll and water. So get some good leafy greens, and tear them up (after washing, of course) and take them to work in a good sized plastic container. In seperate bags or containers, take some carrots, tomato, celery, cubes of cheese, or anything else you might like. Add your favorite salad dressing (some people even carry bottles around in their purses!) and enjoy! A fruit salad is an excellent treat, and can actually be added all together before you go to work. In with your romaine lettuce or baby spinach, have some chopped up cantelope, some grapes, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, apple, oranges, etc. and if you need dressing, try either a little bit of yogart (better to dip than to pour on, but that's just my opinion) or even a little sprinkle of sugar and maybe some cinnamon. Pasta salads are wonderful things, as well. Your favorite tube pasta (think macaroni, penne, rigatoni), cooked the way you like (el dente or softer) and mix it with some mayo, some honey mustard, some relish, some spices and a little bit of dill pickle juice (trust me on that one!). Stir it all up and keep it in your lunch bag with the ice pack/water bottle and you'll have a nice cool pasta salad for supper! Snacks can be any variety of things: carrot and celery sticks with peanut butter or yogart to dip; granola bars; homemade cookies; bread and butter; apples, oranges, bananas, any other fruit you like; fruit juice; nachos and a little dish of salsa; cheese and crackers; melba toast; pickles. Just be creative -- as long as you can keep things cool and fresh, lunch is not a problem at all. Report Spam or Abuse
