    My favorite "healthy" lunches are almost always hot lunches. But it works great if you have access to a microwave. I usually shoot for a meat and a veggie, though this week my "veggie" is potato-based. It's still a complex carb, so I'm okay with it. But basically, I make the same sort of thing I'd make for dinner, and bring it for lunch instead. All last month, because the one recipe makes a ton, it was bean salad and spicy meatballs. This week, honey chipotle pork chops (very mild), twice baked potato bites, and sugar snap peas. Yum! If I have to bring something cold, I like to stick with sandwiches. PB&J or turkey or ham and Swiss on wheat, with a little mustard.

    Great idea to use the balsamic vinegar on your sandwich. Think I will be trying that!

    I usually get a bunch of different pre-made meals from the store. That way I know exactly how many cals and how much of everthing else I am eating. Also, I can scan the UPC code right in. And for the guy who asked about the 40 cal bread, it's Natures Own whole wheat- Look at the cals on it though. Some types of the Natures Own is a little higher in cals. I get it at Kroger. Wal-Mart carry's natures own, but they don't seem to have that one.

    Homemade Butternut squash soup with ginger and cinnamon - lightly brown one butternut squash (cubed), 1inch of ginger sliced and 1 whole onion in a tsp of butter. Add half tsp of cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste. Add water till it just covers the squash and boil until soft. Blend until smooth.

    Super yummy!
