Lunch Eats

One thing I really love doing is making lunches. Yep, I'm not even joking a little bit. I love finding something yummy for David and I's lunches. In fact, if I could, I would pack lunches for everyone! That's how much I love it! Is there any profession out there that just packs people their lunches? If not, I may just have to make one because I woud do it! Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my lunches that I have on a daily basis. What I do is pack a snack or two and then something that I have for my "main meal". If you're suuuuper interested, my eating schedule is: 8:00am, breakfast; 12:00pm, snack; 2:30pm, lunch; 5:00 or 6:00pm, snack; between 7:00pm and 9:00pm, dinner. Here are some yummy lunches I've had recently!

Leftover red pepper pasta, grapes, nutrigrain bar, water.

Tuesdays I'm home around lunch time because I have class, so I made myself some fried eggs with half of a buttermilk waffle acting as toast. I had popcorn and grapes as my snacks.

An awesome chicken burger David made with a brioche burger bun, kettle popcorn, and applesauce.

Spaghetti with marinara sauce, two hard-boiled eggs, and some applesauce.

 

I hope this helps inspire you for some lunch ideas!

Mmm - these look delicious! I love to cook but I hate leftovers, so I have a hard time with lunches that are anything more than a couple of crappy snacks.

I'm a new follower! Looking forward to reading more from you!

These are great ideas! I've been trying to think of quick lunch ideas lately, and these seem really feasible for me based on my schedule.

Sam, leftovers are a tricky thing! You either love them or you hate them! Personally, I love them so a lot of my lunches are made up of meals I've already had for dinner. If you ever do want to try your hand at leftovers again, I will say that my favorites are pasta. If you're able to, reheat them in a pan with a little bit of olive oil instead of the microwave because the microwaves tend to dry them out a bit. I'm glad you were inspired though!!

Thanks, Tara! I'm a very time-constrained person as well (actually, is anyone not? Because if so, I definitely want their job!) so I try to make my lunch the night before so in the morning I can just grab and go.

This is a good idea! I'm the same, love packing lunches for Jackson and I even do little containers of almonds and muesli bars, or dips with veggies but seriously it saves SO MUCH MONEY. SO MUCH, I hardly eat lunch out when I'm t work anymore. Great post! Keep doing it :)

Thanks, Rebecca! And yea, it really does save a lot of money, but it also keeps us on track with eating pretty healthy. I love cut up veggies too!

Mmmm, these lunches look so good! I've been looking for some new options so I can mix up my lunches throughout the week and I'm loving some of these combinations!

Emma, perfect! I hope you find some lunches that you like! I personally can't stand eating sandwiches anymore, so I love a good lunch that I can reheat in the microwave.
