Brown bag lunch ideas
Since I will be going back to work next week, I need some variety of ideas for my lunches.
What do you "brown bag"/ bring from home for lunch? ( include snacks if you bring those too!)

Re: Brown bag lunch ideas
I was just thinking about this because we are making our shopping list for the week.
Do you have a fridge? Many of my ideas involve one!
I am more of a grazer than actual sit-down meal eater. I was thinking of bringing turkey and swiss cheese (will roll them up and eat them instead of making a sandwich), lean cuisine meals, PBJ, grilled chicken in a pita, salads, or leftovers for lunch.
As for snacks, some ideas I had were: granola bars make my own mix from whole foods with raw cashews, walnuts, chocolate chips, banana chips carrots, peppers, or snap peas with hummus, bean dip, or ranch dressing microwaveable popcorn (they have 100 calorie packs now!) if I'm feeling in the mood, maybe vanilla pudding fruit leather edamame cubed cheese pirate's booty grapes chex mix
I always like to include something chocolate too - like Dove candies, a small brownie, 2 cookies, etc.

Re: Brown bag lunch ideas
Leftovers Micro soups (progresso lentil and minestrone are delicious) peanut butter and jelly cucumbers, celery and brocolli with dip cheese and cracker (cheddar and triscuits) yogurt and fruit pita and hummus wasa crackers with cheese (those laughing cow spreadable cheeses)
cereal with milk pop tarts hard boiled eggs apple slices with peanut butter
I am trying to make a schedule of what to have and doing it the night before, so I do need easy but healthy things.
I also have a small frig in my class, so that helps a lot.
