[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My tip:

Meal prep on weekends and bring lunch into work every day. (I work in office setting.)  I estimate I save at least $10/day.

I prepackage lunches into individual containers.  A typical lunch for me will be a layered grain bowl in a wide jar, with dressing on top.  I layer grains (bulgar, einkorn, couscous, kamut etc.) on base, top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, roasted peppers, spicy chickpeas, greens on top, pistachios. Dressing is a lime cilantro vinaigrette with harissa. It sounds like a lot but it is quick and easy when you make five salad jars, assembly line.  Dressing is in its own container so it doesn't get things soggy.  The key is to have the same thing everyday for a week, to save money and time.  The following week I'll vary it and do a Baja style one with roasted corn jalapeño salad, black beans, brown rice etc.

Do you make the dressing yourself, or is it store bought?  These grain bowls sound delicious![/quote]
