What is for lunch today? (I am bored!)

DH took leftover mashed potatoes and put them on an omelet with fresh dill and salsa. SOOOOO YUMMY! I want more!!!

But..... I am curious to hear others lunch ideas since I am kind of running out of them.  I usually have a veggie omelet, left overs or some type of veggie sandwich (usually chickpea salad).  I am anxiously awaiting spring and summer so I can have fresh salads and such from our garden.

  • DH made me fajitas for lunch today. They are awesome!

  • I had a Philly cheesesteak from Jersey Mikes. It was ok. I could only eat half before I was way too full. Ugh.

  • Breakfast burrito! (because why not have breakfast all day). Eggs, cheese, potato and bacon - all wrapped up into goodness. Carbs and cheese have literally been my lifeline this pregnancy.
  • Grilled chicken sandwich, Tomato basil soup, and a spoonful of DH's poblano soup.

  • @bridge-and-wall yummm tomato basil soup has been one of my cravings! I have it like once a week!
  • Salad with chopped chicken, bacon, blue cheese, & hard boiled egg. *drool*

    @JustBored10  Where are you from?  I'm always interested in how people from different areas have different words for things.  I'm from California and always refer to your 'chickpeas' as 'garbanzo beans'.  :)  I work with a bunch of transplants and we had this convo the other day.  

    For example:  
    my 'Poster board' = my canadian coworkers 'Bristol board'
    my 'Best Foods' = my midwestern husbands 'Hellman's'

  • I had homemade mac and cheese. I licked the bowl clean it was super delicious. 
  • Just some left over spaghetti here. Oh and one of my girl friends at work brought me a chocolate chip cookie!
  • Normally I eat at the college cafeteria, but today we had a spring picnic (it's the start of spring break here), which was baseball themed. So I had hotdogs, cracker jacks, and an icecream cone. So healthy *eyeroll*

  • leftover soup, it was sausage, navy bean and spinach. So good.  Soup always tastes better the next day too.

  • I meant to eat leftover corn chowder and a pork chop. Somehow I ended up at Taco Bell instead  :D
  • My lunch tends to a sprawling, odd affair these days. I'm going to have a glass of milk, some chicken nuggets, a spinach salad with blue cheese, strawberries, walnuts, and raspberry vinaigrette, half a turkey sandwich, some cauliflower and veggie dip, and for dessert, a bowl of lucky charms, all eaten over about 45 minutes. When I say I am always hungry, I am not exaggerating. :grimace:


  • Blueberry bagel with honey almond cream cheese! DH got me bagels  <3 I love them because they keep me full for longer than 15 freaking minutes. Now I'm taking a bath and snacking on Apple Jacks (because why not?!)

    @beccam1230  you need to search "best ever meatloaf" on Pinterest because it truly is the best meatloaf ever and my husband loves it too. It has apricot preserves in the sauce and it's sooo good! I made it with roasted carrots and garlic bread. Yum!

    Just a funny little anecdote, when I was very little I used to call black eyed peas "black eyed susans" so now that's what my family calls them. Lol
  • I brought a salad and yogurt for lunch today to work....but I was craving Chick Fil A instead, so I'm eating a chicken sandwich

  • Leftover chicken and dumplings I made last night....I'm sick of cold weather but I enjoy the food lol
  • I had a special K protein bar and some popchips. 

    I am obviously starving now lol 
  • I had a double-double cheeseburger protein style (no bun, everything is wrapped in lettuce) from In n Out with a root beer. Ermagerd!
  • @JustBored10  What is chickpea salad?! I don't eat meat, so I'm always looking for new recipes made with beans! Especially if it can spruce up a sandwich!
    Lunch is usually leftovers ... but today we had a potluck at work because students are on spring break. I brought southwest pasta salad  - but someone else brought chocolate cupcakes with cookies & cream frosting. And they were a dream. 

  • Potato cheddar bacon wedges 
  • Generally speaking I do leftovers because it is easy! Today was leftover Morrocan chicken salad with chickpeas, almonds, and apricots. 
  • Left over pizza. We're fancy.

  • @tiki8286 I may have just drooled in n out is so freaking good..the closest it over 3  hours away unfortunately!  

    I had leftover sausage tortellini soup!
  • I had subway. And it was delicious. 
  • @daniellelynette that is one of my big cravings!! 
  • @kelseyrayay I got it toasted so I didn't feel bad one bit. It was amazing. I got a subway melt on white with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo and honey mustard. It was sooooooo good.
  • @sparksfly I take a box of chick peas and mash them with a little bit of mayo and lemon juice or if I have an avocado I mash it with the chickpeas.  Then add celery, onion, sometimes raisins or what ever I fancy or have laying around.  It is basically a mock chicken or tuna salad.  It is fast and easy to throw together so it is one of my go to lunches.
