What do you eat for lunch?

JenniferTCU

I am so bored with our lunch options (leftovers, turkey sandwiches). I am in a cooking funk. What do you usually have?

Thanks ladies!

I normally have about the same stuff, maybe a frozen dinner thrown in there.  Boring!  I'm interested in suggestions too.

I usually have two lunches. First lunch is pretty light (a small sandwich, or soup or cereal and fruit), second lunch might be soup and bagel or frozen meal or sandwich, fruit and yogurt.

I feel like I'm eating all the time!

Well, right now I am downing an entire Chipotle burrito, so it's probably best not to follow my example.

Mmmm Chipotle!  I love their chips!

When I was going to work, I'd bring egg salad sandwiches, tuna fish (no more than once a week), peanut butter & jelly, and I'd eat a ton of Kraft Easy Mac. I totally craved mac & cheese at first.

Otherwise, I'd bring leftovers (generally pasta) or occasionally go out for a burger or Panera (usually soup and their chicken salad or warm panini). I'd also go get a bagel & cream cheese.

Today I had leftover eggplant parm and a snack of fresh fruit with sour cream (very Jewish... LOL).

Don't follow my example.  All food sounds awful for me - 9 weeks that I am.

Ramen noodles is all I can stomach.  And two weeks ago, it was kraft mac and cheese.

I get naan bread, heat it with a bit of olive oil and dip it in hummus with some fruit on the side (had that yesterday)

I use leftover rice and make a rendition of fried rice with soy sauce, egg, green onion

I slice apples and eat them with a few pieces of real parmesan cheese

veggie sandwiches made with cream cheese, provolone cheese, shredded carrots and zucchini, tomato and sweet hot mustard.

 Its so hot here, I try to eat things that are cooler

Im not vegetarian, but meat is kind of revolting to me right now

I know what you mean about meat. I only eat chicken, pork and turkey and they all give me the creeps lately. I am having serious food aversions.

I used to eat tuna sandwhiches or egg salad sandwiches on toast.  For the eggs, I would buy the OMEGA ones just to stock pile on those vitamins.

 Just before I delivered, I ate chilli dogs and fries!

Today I had a spicy black bean burger (no bun) with 2% milk american cheese and ranch pringles.  

Usually I make a chicken salad sand out of canned chicken, vegenaise, spicy mustard, honey, celery, pepper & salt. and top it with pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, & lettuce on honey wheat bread.

Some days I have DH take me out for chicken tacos at our favorite mexican rest, or if we are near one...chick-fil-a.

every monday on my way into work i stop at the store and pick up a loaf of wheat bread (every other monday), pb (every other monday) jelly (every other), bananas, yogurt, v8 fushion - enough for the week. it's cheap, fast, filling, and not too bad. but i'm definitely growing tired of it.

My mid-day eating is really dull.  I usually eat a good breakfast, a good dinner, and just graze constantly in-between.  Today's grazing grocery bag has baby carrots, cut celery, cut watermelon pieces, mango yogurt, soy milk, triscuits, dried apricots and cubed tofu with balsamic dressing.
