Please give me lunch advice * 1
    #20434018 -

So I am on a quest to save money and have noticed I spend a lot of money eating out for lunch. I want to start bringing my own lunches to work. Can anyone give me suggestions of easy, healthy, and cheap lunches I can start making? Also, I would like variety. I have tried like sandwiches in the past but I get sick of them after like a week.

Beans and rice together make a complete protein, and if you buy it dry it's cheap as fuck and can be seasoned a million different ways. Throw in some assorted veggies and or meats, or even fruits like raisins to keep the variety fresh.

If you're wanting to get away from sandwiches, you're gonna want to get more active in your meals. Like, cook food the night before and take it to work. That's going to be the way to avoid cold lunch meats, and get some "real" meats/proteins and veggies etc. Also, I think you might get full and stay satisfied longer.

Meats: Fajitas w/ onions and some tortillas, roast with carrots and potatoes, left over pizza, cook some chicken and throw it into a home made salad. Shishkabobs maybe? Then just take all the meat and veggies off and eat it normal..

Fruits: Grapes, apples, oranges, sliced melons, etc.. Get a few different fruits and change it up through out the week.

Veggies: Carrots, steamed broccoli, just make your favorite salad in bulk and your salad dressing at home. Rice and beans are awesome, like someone already mentioned. I can give you a recipe for a delicious greek salad and greek salad dressing.

If you dont mind cold foods, this might be a good place to start. Maybe you have a microwave at work though? I dont use microwaves anymore but, if you cant stand cold food then that should help.

Hope this helps.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Quinoa, fresh mushrooms and a lite dressing.

It has protein and won't make you constipated, or tired from gluten, and it tastes great!

Not to sound weeby, but whenever I do a packed lunch, I like to do it Bento style. Basically I just take left-over dinner and stuff and try to turn it into something new, and add in some variety. I'll add rice and sprinkle in sesame seeds, or just slightly recook things with other ingredients.

I tend to stick to the 4:3:2:1 ratio (4 parts of rice, 3 parts of the side dish(usually something involving meat or eggs), 2 parts of vegetables, and 1 part of a serving of pickled vegetables or a dessert)

Gets you so full, and they look cool if you take time to organize them well.  :stirthepot:

What sort of spices are good to add? I've been wanting to start up some rice/bean recipes because I just realized I have a ton of dried beans and rice to go through. Any favorites?

No problem! It's not my recipe exactly, but I am totally down to share it.

With the lettuce, just choose 2 bunches. Which ever you like. I really like red and whatever else. I switch between romaine and green.

To prep: Give em a nice wash, break the leafs into singles, maybe wash again depending how dirty (farmers markets are a little bit dirtier, but its not a bad thing, means it's just fresher), then break each piece into small edible pieces.


Greek Salad
(with lettuce, just choose 2 or you'll have a lot of lettuce to prepare)
- 1 bunch of Red Lettuce
- 1 bunch of Green Lettuce
- 1 bunch of Romaine

- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 or 2 Bell Peppers
- 1 Tomato
- Feta cheese
- Some black pepper


Greek Salad Dressing:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 to 1 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 to 2 tbl spoon of: basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper
- 1 table spoon of dijon mustard
- 1 lemon squeezed for lemon juice

^^^ Put herbs and seasoning in desired jar, THEN add liquids. Mixes easier. But it doesn't really matter i guess.

Once you play around with this, you can adjust seasonings to your liking. If you want more zing/zest, add some more basil,oregano,garlic, and a little bit of dijon. If it's too strong, add a little bit of olive oil and red wine vinegar.

I usually keep my salad in a big bowl/container and dry. Keep the dressing separate, if you make it. Add dressing to the salad that you're going to eat at that moment, not to the whole salad you made, cause that will make your salad reserve soggy.

Preperation of the lettuce takes longest. Maybe check out some other recipes for greek salads and recipes and change em how you like.

-----------------------------------------------------------

And ideas for some beans and rice.. Do beans in one pan, rice in another. Add together later, if you want.

Bean seasoning ideas: cumin, cayenne, salt & pepper

Rice ideas: little bit of butter or olive oil, pepper, and some chopped green onion, maybe a couple sliced jalpenos for some spice. add green onion and jalepeno in the beginning, so the rice soaks in the flavor.

Shit.. now I am kind of hungry.

I always put fruit cups in my dudes' lunches. I made him a sandwich and an extra bratwurst that we had for dinner tonight to go along with some fruit and small bag of chips.

Cook extra the night before, or just grill up some chicken breast and bring a salad to work. Idk, you'll figure it out.
