weekly lunch menu
I seriously think we need a weekly lunch thread too. I have such a hard time deciding on what to eat for lunch!

Re: weekly lunch menu
Great idea! If I don't bring lunch, I'm usually at a loss.

Re: weekly lunch menu
Good idea.
I pack a lunch for DH and me every day. He gets a meal or a big sandwhich, while I pack myself a salad or leftovers from dinner.
Today I have a ham and cheddar sandwich on pullman bread, pickles and for dessert, sliced strawberries.
DH has chicken cutlet and cheese tortellini with peas in a light alfredo sauce. An apple and some pretzels for snacks.

Your DH's lunch sounds really yummy.
Today, I brought lunch - a mixed green salad with salmon and a pudding snack. Yup - I like snack packs

Re: weekly lunch menu
I'm so not a lunch person.
Most days will eat a yogurt and a banana or an apple. Sometimes we will have leftovers.
Today I had a quesadilla and some banana chip cookies. Rob had banana chip cookies and a Chobani yogurt.
We like wraps.. usually chicken or turkey with a little basil aioli on a whole wheat wrap with chopped tomatoes, lettuce and swiss. Sometimes I'll make chicken salad with some chicken, mayo, lemon, onion and celery. Tuna salad is popular.. and canned soup or Ramen noodles with fresh veg and parm cheese if we are peckish and can't think of anything else.
When Rob was working I'd pack him an apple, a yogurt and a sandwich with water. Sandwich was usually turkey and cheese on whole wheat - no mayo, mustard or dressing of any kind. That's what he liked. Every.Single.Day. If he was feeling really feisty he'd change it up and take some blueberries.

Re: weekly lunch menu
I've been eating almost the same few things for lunch for a few weeks now, an Arnold's whole wheat sandwich thin with:
peanut butter and sliced banana
or
Nutella
or
1/2 sliced avocado and 1/2 sliced tomato
or
roasted garlic hummus and banana peppers, sometimes with feta cheese
It's not too big but always satisfying

Re: weekly lunch menu
I'm not a huge lunch person but these are the most common:
- Breakfast for lunch: whole wheat cornflakes with cereal milk and blueberries
- Hummus/ avocado on a roll with roasted tomato on top
- Veggie Burgers without a roll with roasted tomato or pepper on top.
- Roasted potatoes with broccoli and cheese.
- Salad with chick peas and feta
- When I'm feeling lazy a container of Amy's Organic Soy Mac n Cheese ( so good !)

Re: weekly lunch menu
I had a tomato sandwich today. Man, I forgot how much I LOVE those. Fresh, red tomatoes, sliced thick so that they keep their juice. Lay them on toast with a little bit of mayo, some garlic, a sprinkle of salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Squeeze a hint of lemon on it and it's a party! The juice from the tomato soaks into the toast and just infuses every bite with flavor.

Aww!  You made my day.
But nah.. everyone and their cousin has a food blog these days. I can't handle the competition. Plus I'd get bored after a week or two and stop updating!
