I usually have a lean cuisine or a homemade deli sandwich but I am looking for some new idea's.
Any suggestions??

    I like cottage cheese with some kind of fruit in it.

    My lunches are very boring. Just a can of Progresso Light soup and some saltines.

    I made homemade stir-fry last night. Made my own sauce with reduced sodium soy sauce, light rice vinegar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and corn starch. Cook the meat first, then when it's almost done toss in frozen stir-fry veggies and your sauce goes in last. I eat mine over brown rice. Once you have the sauces/spices, cooking is wayyyy cheaper than Lean Cuisines. The 1/2 lb of tenderloins cost about $1 and the veggies were about $1.25. Rice is $1.40. So for $3.65 I fed myself 2.5 servings with 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of stir-fry each.

    Try this:

    2 cups of Baby Spinach lettuce
    1 tbsp sliced almonds
    1/8 cup of reduced fat crumbled feta cheese
    1 100-calorie pack Ocean Spray Craisins
    some Ken's lite accents Raspberry Walnut dressing

    Great salad...nice and refreshing :)

    Me, too! Infact, today I made my cottage cheese smoothie for lunch...so yummy!

    Sometimes I will "treat" myself at lunch by having a homemade mini-pizza with half a Multi Grain Flat Out wrap, dab of pasta sauce, 2 oz. shredded reduced fat marble cheese and loaded with yummy peppers! It's SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!!!!!!!!

    See the post I just added under Recipes for Tomato "bruschetta" with tuna and cannelini beans. I just had a serving of that for lunch and it was fantastic!!

    Also, a red cabbage salad with dates, almonds, and oranges:

    Who needs a personal chef?? Not me, but a housekeeper would be great :laugh:
