Happy August - What's for Lunch?

  • Same thing today. I will probably have to mix it up next week if I don't want to get bored! Anybody have any good ideas for changing up sandwiches? I do the usual turkey and cheese, strayed a little a few weeks ago and did a turkey bacon BLT with light mayo and avocado, but got bored of that too. I like sandwiches, but I will usually revert to lean cuisines or something when I run our of ideas. I would prefer to pack a fresh lunch though. It can just be hard to have multiple types of sandwiches in the same week.

    We must have been thinking the same thing today. I also brought a salad but mine was pretty boring, lettuce, shredded carrots, green peppers, diced ham and ranch dressing. I also brougt two leftover cheese sticks.

    Aldi's Sea Queen brand Crab Cakes (2) with a lettuce and tomato salad. Balsamic and olive oil dressing.

    I'm proud of us, this far into the month and taking our lunches everyday! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Salad again today for me. Your lunch sounded good yesterday so since I had a salmon fillet in the freezer, I baked that last night and added it to my salad.

    I'm really liking this bring my own lunch every day. I've been able to think of some different things to eat and I end up eating better than if I just grab something quickly at work.

    Once again...salad for lunch. Today it is romaine lettuce, green peppers, shredded carrots, diced ham and ranch dressing. Kind of boring but it's good and at least I remembered to pack something.

    Peanut butter and jelly for lunch. I got home late last night and didnt feel like doing anything more involved this morning than slapping two pieces of bread together. I did use all natural pb tho, sugar free raspberry jelly and ezekiel bread.

    Brown rice, stir fry veggies, chicken and teriyaki sauce. Ive been bringing it a lot lately bc its so quick to throw together, I tried to mix it up today with a different sauce than usual.

    Btw, does anyone know if there is/is going to be a group for September?

    Today was surprise, surprise another salad day. I seem to be stuck in a rut. I need some new ideas. I had lettuce, diced ham, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, green pepper with ranch dressing.

    I would like to see a group again next month. I would love to continue to see what others pack for lunch.

    Have you tried making an asian style salad? I use bagged coleslaw mix, green onions, mandarin oranges, chicken, and slivered almonds.

    Today I'm having a turkey and cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato and pesto mayonnaise on Ezekiel bread.

    That salad sounds good, I might have to give it a try. I really like salads and have a craving for them sometimes but I guess I don't get too adventerous with them. I should branch out and try some new toppings at least.

    I knew today was going to be a busy day at work so I planned a lunch made of snacks. I have some wheat thins veggie crackers, grapes, an orange and pumpkin seeds. Not sure if I'm even hungry enough to eat all of that but I have it just in case.

    I'm looking forward to lunch today. I made a taco salad: shredded lettuce, cilantro, green onions, black olives, jalapeno, morningstar farms "Beef" crumbles seasoned with taco seasoning, light sour cream and salsa. YUM!

    Your taco salad sounds delish! I brought another salad to work today; lettuce, shredded carrots, green peppers and ranch. I cheated a little though, the cafeteria had garden vegetable soup today so I had a bowl of that along with my salad.

    Brown rice, stir fry veggies and chicken. That seems to be my go-to when I'm too lazy to make anything different.

    Its already August 30! Just one more day and we did it!

    Kind of a boring day for both of us. I had another ham sandwich for lunch.
