What are you packing for work lunches?

[Anonymous]

Simple. Cook extra for dinner and pack it for lunch.

Tin of sardines, nuts, apple, and maybe some kind of roasted veggie.

Cheese, crackers, and an apple

Leftovers

Leftovers from dinner. (Have microwave at work)
Fruit
Nuts/trail mix that I mix
Water

If no leftovers, I might make a sandwich but for dinners, I usually double recipes so there are leftovers for lunches.

Mainly leftovers, but I meal prep with the need to have them for lunches in mind.

Today I brought the Skinnytaste skillet lasagna to work, which I made for dinner on Sunday night. Will be bringing it tomorrow as well. I make chili often, and that is always a bring-for-lunch-too meal.

"cold-cuts"? I haven't heard anyone say this since 1975. And I was an infant. And they were old.

I make a version of a bowl I had from sweetgreen and enjoyed: flank steak, rice, sweet potato, broccoli, pickled red onion. I put spinach on top after heating it up and put on some pesto or green goddess dressing.

I pack leftovers, but also keep a few frozen meals in the work freezer to keep me from buying lunch when I do not have the energy to pack. Souper girl soups also work. Not cheap, but healthier and less expensive than eating out (for me it’s healthier because I too easily over eat with take out )

I've been making a soup on Sundays and that gets me through work lunches.

Well, it's still in the name of a Subway sub, the "coldcut combo". Shrug.

You remember things from when you were an infant? So cool! You must be in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

I suspect this is a regional variation. What do you call it? Deli meat? I don’t really eat the stuff but I admit if someone says sliced turkey it’s hard to know what they mean unless they say deli meat or cold cuts.
