Quick and easy lunch ideas or things I can make early and save to take for lunch

September 13, 2009

I am a teacher and so I don't have time to make an elaborate lunch during the week and sometimes I'm even too tired to make one on the weekends. Does anyone have any quick and easy lunch options for me? I've been living on hummus sandwiches and though delicious they're getting old. Also any snack ideas that you might have would be great. I've been eating teddy grahms (not the honey version) and Apples. Thanks for the help!SarahPatricia

But when it gets down to ethics, I can't justify it. Now, if I was given a choice of saving a person or an insect, I'd probably go with my own species just because I identify with my own.

I've been eating rice cakes and corn cakes recently, with peanut butter or soya cream cheese, some salad and/or some sprouted seeds on the side, and an apple or a banana. The cakes come in several varieties, I like the plain and the yeast extract flavoured ones. They're more filling than I thought they'd be, too.

I'm also going to try baked tofu slices as a sandwich filling as they taste yummy and are similar texture to hard cheese if you don't bake them too long.

Also what about making a load of rice or pasta salad at the weekend and portioning it out for lunches during the week? It doesn't take long to boil up some rice and toss it with some chopped up veggies, maybe a dressing if you like - but it's actually quite a nice and filling lunch.

How about peanut butter and tomato; Marmite and cucumber or Cheezly and pickle? Sometimes I like to take in a small flask of soup with a bread roll. Or you could try a bean and pasta salad with whatever colourful vegetables you have in the fridge.

Hope something appeals to you!

Kind regards,

Kathleen

I do a lot of leftovers for lunch. Vegan chili or pasta (I love

mostaciolli with just a basic, meatless red sauce and I use vegan

parmesan style cheese sprinkled on top). Salads are always good and

you can throw some chickpeas or beans in there for protein. Apples

with a little peanut butter are good. Soups are easy-ish and a pot

lasts us about 2 or 3 days. I'm also lucky enough to live near

Dearborn, MI which has a very high Middle-Eastern population so we

have some outstanding Middle-Eastern restaurants and bakeries -

falafel, hummus and fresh pita bread are always easily attainable and

a quick falafel sandwich is satisfying and easy. I didn't like Middle

Eastern food until about a year ago and now, I have to say that

falafel sandwiches are my favorite thing in the world (followed

closely by Mujadara - a lentil and rice dish that can also be made at

home and re-heats easily and well).
