    deli meat and cheese rollups, mason jar salads, soup, homemade chicken salad with crackers, also my own healthier version of a "lunchable" with meat, cheese, grapes, and almonds.

    I also buy wasa crackers and layer guacamole, lunchmeat turkey, tomato, and cucumber on top. so good!

    Lately my favorite is a rice and bean bowl :) I precook a big batch of rice and beans at the beginning of the week and pack it for my lunches. Usually throw in some cheese, a few seasonings (cumin in a favorite and full of iron!) and a healthy handful of spinach/kale/some sort of green. Heat it in the microwave and I have a bowl of ooey yummy protein filled goodness that keeps me full til dinner.

    I do mason jar salads every single day. You can mix up the toppings, but I always do green onion, feta cheese, roasted turkey and lots of spring mix or romaine. I make them Sunday night then grab one on my way out in the morning. They have always stayed fresh all week. I work 10 hour days with a hour drive so I don't really have time to make anything the night before and I am not going to get up at 4 am to make my lunch for the day. I do overnight oats for breakfast, or a ham and cheese on wheat. I do measure out the dry ingredients on Sunday then add the wet stuff the night before.
