Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Check the archives, and also try Googling it. The subject comes up a lot. Some of us are really boring and eat hummus and pita pb & j or salads a lot but there are many creative people on this list. I eat garlic hummus with a whole wheat middle eastern flatbread called lavash & bring some seasonal fruit, e.g., apple in the fall, blood oranges right now, bananas in spring when there is nothing else, and berries and local summer fruits in summer. I also bring vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, sssshhhhhhhhhhhh! Rowena >I have recently joined this group and interested in learning about the vegan diet and having recipes. I am especially interested in what people do for packing lunches for work when one is on the go and needs something quick and satisfying.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I usually do a lot of cooking on weekend and when I do I make enough to freeze parts of it for lunches for the week that works out really well. Soups, spaghetti, vegan meats with mashed potatoes & gravey or dressing. (all vegan) Then of course there are a lot of vegan snacks on the market, however in some areas they may be a little harder to find. Cookies, cakes, chips, etc. For sandwiches, sometimes I'll take vegan hot dogs or vegan ham (available at my local asian market or online) and run it through a food processer, add some soy mayonaise, relish and seasoning and make a sandwich spread. These are good for hiking, camping, etc. Hope this gives you some ideas. Ed Valentine --- " A. Kirk " <rowena28 wrote: > Check the archives, and also try Googling it. The > subject comes up a lot.

I am going to have to work up a notebook with ideas because I have a hard time keeping all this in my head. Need to start stocking up with items so that I won't be short in the kitchen when I need to fix meals and lunches. It is a whole change in lifestyle food habits.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 For lunches I usually have leftover soup or stew with a tall glass of soymilk, along with a salad and some cooked veggies. I do what Ed does and make a bunch of food and then eat leftovers. It's always good to have canned soups on hand, frozen veggie burgers or " chicken " patties, frozen buns, frozen veggies and fruits for quick healthy lunches that don't require much time. And vegetarian baked beans with cut up veggie dogs makess a quick, tasty lunch entree. Best wishes!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I do a weekly menu, I work on it on Saturdays, and go by it. On Sundays I do my shopping for the week. I put breakfast, dinner and supper in it, along with snacks even. Sunday, I also do any baking I need to do, like for snacks, I make fig bars a lot, or date squares. Those usually need baking. Also good to have on hand, in my house are the baby carrots and fresh brocoli. Those are easy to pack in a bag lunch too. However, I am sure I wasn't the first to tell you this, LOL! I personally need the pick me up in the afternoons of caffene, so I usually have tea or something like that. cworden123 <cworden wrote: , Ed Valentine <tacomaharbor>wrote:> I usually do a lot of cooking on weekend and when I do> I make enough to freeze parts of it for lunches for> the week that works out really well.
