Even though my place of work has a lunchroom with all the amenities, I never use them. I prefer to grab my lunch kit from the corner of my office and go outside to eat and enjoy the fresh air. Every day I bring my coffee in a thermos, a water bottle filled with ice (lovely and cool water by lunchtime), and my snacks and lunch in an insulated bag.
Other than sandwiches, my lunch could be:
- a toasted bagel with cheese, or bacon and tomato
- last nights leftovers (lots of things I don't mind eating cold)
- a salad with protein such as a Cobb Salad, Spinach Salad with sliced Steak, or Taco Salad
- finger foods such as veggies and dip, cold meats, cheeses, pickles etc.
- a thermos of soup, stew or chili
- slices of pita bread and hummus for dipping
The possibilities are endless, and lunch is a great meal for using up bits and pieces from your previous days meals and/or random stuff from the kitchen.
