• Lunch Rut


    I’ve been so bored with lunches lately. If I see one more ham and cheese on wheat, I think I might just barf. I found a nice list on Real Simple (wanting to test out this one for sure) but what are your favorite simple and healthy lunches?

      Cooking Light has a great recipe for Pesto Chicken Salad. Throw that in a pita or on a bed of lettuce and you have a great lunch!

      Oh my gosh, I was JUST thinking the same thing! Sandwiches are SO boring after weeks and weeks of them. And leftovers only go so far!

      In Russia sandwiches are always open-faced. It's nice to eat less bread.

      I switched to putting sandwich stuff in a tortilla (and just fold it over and used pesto as a spread and I'm able to eat those way more often than regular sandwiches but I always use avocados mmmm

      on second thought…if someone wrapped my sandwiches for me in paper and twine i think they would taste much better. any takers?

      thanks for the ideas, guys. maybe i should get a panini maker and make more soup

      Me too. I'd love some new ideas.I usually have homemade soup (roasted tomato or chicken noodle) that I make for dinner one night and then I eat it for lunch leftovers until it's used up. In fact, that's what I just had for lunch today (I have a ton of soup if you want some!).I also love a good sandwich that's grilled. Take your plain ham and cheese and put it on a panini maker and it's so much better.

      Soup. Usually I have some leftover or in the freezer

      I grill vegetables whenever the grill is on and keep them in the fridge. One of my fav lunches is grilled eggplant stuffed into a pita with balsamic vinegar and feta cheese. yum.

      Check out our site for some ideas! TwoBlueLemons.comThere are lots of yummy (quick & easy) things to choose from! I'm a sucker for anything topped with avocado!

      a simpler version of the picture: toast, avocado, fresh tomato, salt and pepper. maybe even through in some swiss

      I totally know how you feel! That avocado sandwich looks amazing though!

      I get so bored of sandwiches too – they're so plain. Lately, we've been on a huge hummus kick. It's good on bread, veggies, wheat crackers – almost anything. Another way I like to spice up a sandwich is to think "sub." Use special mustard, more veggies, spices, and special ingredients. Avocados are awesome!

      I'm the same way. I end up just putting off breakfast so I don't have to figure out lunch. I want to look at that real simple list to get ideas too
