Lunchtime Variety

talking_walnut · 2006-04-18 21:17:43

Ok, I'm trying to get into the habit of bringing my own lunch to work everyday cause I'm sick of getting sandwiches and rolls all the time. I'm looking for some advice on things I could make at home and bring in with me. I made a lasagne the last day so that'll keep me going for a while but after that I'm out of ideas.

To add some variety, think of doing things like pasta salads, potato salad, cous cous, different kinds of rolls, cheese with crispbreads, ploughmans lunch, pitta breads filled with different fillings, bagels. Google for terms like lunchbox alternatives and you'll bring up a lot of sites with good ideas.

I was thinking the same myself, as I'm also getting fed up with sandwiches.

I might try taking a few salads, handy and ready to go.
