| If you bring lunch from home everyday to work, what do you pack? I’m specifically interested in what you bring if it’s the same lunch everyday. No PB&J, and not what you send your kids for lunch; I mean adult packed lunches. |

| We take dinner leftovers for the next day’s lunch. I cook extra for this. |

I now keep souper girl soups in the freezer at work for when I am not up to packing a lunch. When I pack, it is either leftovers or salad - lettuce or broccoli mix with cabbage, chick peas, feta, tomatoes, other vegetables, and often small containers of olives, pickled onions, hummus or salad dressing. It depends on what we have.

| Dinner leftovers. I generally double or triple recipes with the intent to take leftovers for lunch. |

| Turkey chili and oatmeal with peanut bitter and raisins are two lunches that I’ve eaten repeatedly, usually with mint tea and maybe a piece of fruit. |

| I bring a bunch of snacks. Yogurt, bananas, granola, carrots, hummus, protein bars, apples, peanut butter, uncrustables. I don’t know, I can’t put energy into lunch. |

Same. Sometimes I bring salad (greens+ protein) and dressing on the side + bread. Sometimes just a sandwich. |

| I often make a salad of fresh chopped veggies. Sometimes a couple slices of fresh mozzarella on top. I like tomato sandwiches when I can find really good tomatoes. Sometimes I mix drained canned chicken peas with olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped garlic, lemon juice and hot pepper flakes. And I like to have fresh fruit and good chocolate on hand. I’m not vegetarian but just realized I bring a lot of vegetarian things. |

| Mostly leftovers, but I keep a stash of Trader Joe’s frozen Indian meals on hand for the days I don’t have anything. |

| I take the same thing every day. Tomato and swiss in a pita pocket. At work I nuke it for 15 seconds and dip it in salad dressing. |

Usually dinner leftovers.
When there aren't leftovers I make a salad. Towards end of the week I have to get creative. The other day it was chopped up cucumbers and avocado topped with canned tuna, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice. |
