I take lots of leftovers, soup with baked cheetos and fruit or veggies, hummus (40 spices is my favorite) with veggies and pita, cottage cheese with fruit and a few other things to go with it. We will deliberately make more than we need for dinner, just so we have lunch leftovers for the week!AEOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968086949710666964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-58409887682280880562011-11-09T17:37:53.055-05:002011-11-09T17:37:53.055-05:00The title of this post made laugh out loud.

I usually just do a single serving of microwave mac and cheese or an english muffin with hummus (so healthy ;)<br /><br />I hope you (and I) can get some good ideas!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754129167778925729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-28205896834092794122011-11-08T01:17:32.427-05:002011-11-08T01:17:32.427-05:00I love a well-made sandwich, good bowl of soup, or...I love a well-made sandwich, good bowl of soup, or cold (always and only cold) leftovers, so I'm really not much help! <br />PS: the title of this entry made me laugh so thanks for that! =)<br /><br />SHF<br />thechroniclesofs.blogspot.comSHFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174896351672393170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-43507117048192919112011-11-07T18:47:51.371-05:002011-11-07T18:47:51.371-05:00Leftovers from dinner the night before are my usua...Leftovers from dinner the night before are my usual, but I also keep a small stash of Lean Cuisines in the freezer at work, for when I don't have leftovers.

It adds up so quick and I figure I would rather have the extra $30- $50 a week to spend on clothes or something else. <br /><br />I am not a big sandwich person, at all. I normally take leftovers from the previous night's dinner. This could be lasagna, spaghetti, soop, etc. When there are no leftovers, I will take baked chicken and steamed brocolli that I cooked the night before. (It is so simple and quick to cook that I usually do it while I am cleaning up the kitchen.) I will also take a salad from time to time with tuna fish on top of it to make is not so boring.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631325197075690911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-6838641630019642762011-11-07T15:55:54.798-05:002011-11-07T15:55:54.798-05:00Sarah...hope you're feeling better!!

Also, I like to take an apple, slice it, but keep it together (so it doesn't get brown), some almonds (gotta have crunch) and some string cheese. Not very glamorous...but very satisfying. <br /><br />Good luck keeping the family books! :)<br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-4119504800181976742011-11-07T15:54:09.833-05:002011-11-07T15:54:09.833-05:00I'm a bean fanatic - inexpensive, full of prot...I'm a bean fanatic - inexpensive, full of protein, and bean salads are so easy to make to have for a few days. I love chickpeas, bell peppers, onions, celery.... really any veggies (or fruits) you like, chop em up all the same size as the beans you use. Lemon juice, mustard, olive oil... whatever dressing you like ties it all together. Make a big batch and bring either as a main or side dish for lunches, so good and it gets better every day as the flavors marry more :)MHM1314https://www.blogger.com/profile/06567516263819917728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-51294512897545304542011-11-07T15:41:50.859-05:002011-11-07T15:41:50.859-05:00I'm currently playing this diet game with frie...I'm currently playing this diet game with friends (Game On Diet, written by the head writer of Grey's Anatomy!), so my meals are very regimented. But one of my new faves for lunch is this:<br /><br />1 sweet potato (or half, if it's a big one... they have pre-washed ones wrapped in plastic that only need to be popped in the microwave for 6-8 mins... BEST ever. They come out perfect every time!)<br />Salsa<br />Fat Free sour cream<br />Fat Free shredded cheddar<br />Black beans (drained and rinsed)<br /><br />Salad (cukes, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, one cut up string cheese in a homemade olive oil/balsamic vinegar/minced garlic dressing)Emily of Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380471404288215253noreply@blogger.com
