| I’m sick of my usual soups and salads and need ideas. I like to make something on Sunday to get me through Wednesday so I usually make hearty salads or brothy soups. I like to keep it vegetarian but don’t need to. What are your lunch ideas? |

If you shop at trader joes...Bagged Cruciferous crunch + Pre-cooked lentils + carrot ginger miso dressing makes a quick hearty salad.
Plain greek yogurt + berries + homemade granola. I use this recipe without dried fruit https://cookieandkate.com/healthy-granola-recipe/comment-page-15/ This lentil curry, I add spinach https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/red-lentil-curry Crustless quiche (or with crust!) side of fruit |

On Sunday I make crustless quiche “muffins” in an oversized muffin tin.
4 eggs About 1/2 cup egg whites 1/2 cup milk Onion and 2 peppers stir fried About 3oz of shredded cheese 2oz chopped ham Seasoning—usually Italian Put the first three items in a bowl and mix. Distribute that into muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. Add other items. Cook for 30 min at 400. I have one of those each day with some yogurt & fresh berries. |

This is in my rotation and I love it. There is a similar one in rotation too though, so I’m done with cauliflower for a month or so. |

| On Sunday, I roast a tray of vegetables (typically, broccoli,red onion, carrots and whatever else is in my frig). Then, I cook off 1-2 cups of quinoa. For lunch, I place quinoa on the bottom of a bowl, top with veggies and add a little bit of dressing. You can add chick peas to this too. |

| Could you batch-cook four or five meals and freeze in portions so you can mix it up during the week? Things like burritos, veggie chili, hearty soups, indivdual quiche? |

I love this salad. Don't dress it at home; take dressing in a tiny container and add at work. I can eat it all week. https://littlespicejar.com/autumn-pearl-couscous-salad-with-roasted-butternut-squash/
Sometimes I also do pearl couscous, cherry tomatoes, diced cooked zucchini, and little mozzarella balls. |

| I make a big pot of sausage/lentils and eat it for lunch every day, but I don’t need variety. |
