what do yall take to work/skewl for lunch?
I have been roasting a whole bird every couple of weeks & taking sandwiches, along with homemade soup. I have recently started bringing a cup of salsa & chips that make an excellent snack & keep me out of the snack machine. Also leftovers are nice.

This weeks bird...
whole chicken basted with adobo garlic sauce. It was good but I should have brined it overnight.

just looking for some suggestions.

Every once in awhile I will cook a ham. With the leftovers, I will make 6 or so quiche's and freeze them. On Sunday I will defrost one and eat that for a couple of lunches.

ham's good for making split pea soup too.

gotta get the wife crackin' on that one.

we roasted two chickens last week (stuffed a mix of butter, prosciutto and chopped savory, sage and rosemary under and on the skin) but i had that for dinner leftovers a couple of nights instead of lunch. i should bring in my lunch more often.

sliver talking about coucous in the other thread reminded me that i used to make a whole box of the far east (i think that is the brand ) couscous & saute a chicken breast & that was a nice meal.

The coffee sucks Juan Valdez's asshole at work, so I usually take a tea bag or two.

I thought this thread was going to be about ugly women you'd been with. Oh well...

I thought it was going to be about sipping brews out of a brown bag on the corner with your homies.

If I don't have leftovers, I usually pack a sandwich, pretzels, and an apple or orange.
Yesterday I had black beans and rice.

i cook something at the begining of the week that i can take every day for lunch. this week it was stuffed eggplant. last week, it was stuffed peppers. i make a thick veggie spagetti sauce with beans and tons of veggies that i have on a salad or over rice some weeks. sometimes when i get lazy and i don't want to cook i take salads every day. by the end of the week i am super sick of whatever i have been taking all week long so i hve to have something new every week. on fridays i like to take fried egg white sandwhiches. yum.

I take oatmeal for breakfast (I work out before come to work). For lunch it's usually what ever we had for dinner the night before. Before we eat I stick enough for tomorrows lunch in a tuperware. Oh, and a banana or apple. Sometimes I'll make a huge pot of veggie and bean stew and eat it though out the week.....Thank god for Beano!

jell-o tip: if you take jell-o, keep it in the fridge until you are going to eat it or else it will be jell-o juice.

this week I made about 12 burritos and froze them. now if I can just remember to grab them when I leave the house in the morning.

I made some veggie ones and some turkey/veggie ones.

Veggie mix:
Can of Black Beans, rinsed.
Can of corn, drained
red onion, diced.
red pepper, diced.
cumin, to taste.
lime juice, to taste.
salt/pepper.

Meat mix:
ground turkey
cumin
chilli powder
salt/pepper
corriander
any other spices you like
chicken stock.

I used flour tortillas, heated up in the oven to make them easier to fold.

add a little bit of cheese, wrap them up and freeze in bags.

Yummy! (when I remember to actually bring them with me..)
