frozen lunches

I'm desperately after lunch ideas that can be made in advance and frozen. To complicate things, I can't cook/heat up food at work. Getting a bit fed up of sandwiches (again made in advance and frozen).

Do you have a fridge to keep things cool?0

fortunately there is a fridge. Its due to the hours that I work, that I like to make food ahead of time. I have found that if I don't I end up stopping on the way to work and making bad choices.0

Buy a good thermos. It can keep soups or chili hot for hours.0

I freeze everything - I make soups, stews, a variety of chilis and freeze them in individual containers. I also flash freeze nuggets, meatballs, mini meatloaves, burritos, mini pot pies, sauces in jars or cubes, etc.
I only like to cook on weekends, but it's important that I feed my family healthy homemade food.0 -
no microwave?
Salads
Thermos your hot items as per a previous post
Wraps
Just eat your food cold? I used to eat cold chicken and veggies all the time when I was in a rush.

I read too fast - no microwave...I agree with everyone else re: salads (not necessarily lettuce salads - for example tabouli, quinoa, pasta), wraps, or thermos to keep one dish meals hot.0

google mason jar salads. I make them on Sunday and they stay good all week long. I use one quart jars. The possibilities are endless!0

I also have these on days when I want something cold at work (freeze the block and stack) http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/SubCategoryLanding.aspx?SubCatId=LunchBlox&CatName=FoodStorage0

I added it to my Amazon wishlist. Alright, I added 4, but only because I couldn't choose a color.0
