On-the-go lunches?!
Answers: Any ideas for on-the-go lunches? things I could just buy at the store, or make at home & take to school. Any ideas you have!
Well, if you like veggies you could make your own veggie tray in tupperware condainers, and add another little container of ranch.
Some left overs from last nights supper is usually good ie: pasta's, soups etc
You could also get meats and things to make subs.

Chicken roll ups....
Make a chicken salad...there are so many millions of different ways to prepare, but I like this one:
1 can chicken breast (drained), mixed with mayo, finely chopped celery (not much, maybe 1/2 stalk), finely chopped onion - I prefer purple onion, salt & pepper, large chopped walnuts or pecans, sliced in half purple grapes (apples if I don't have grapes).
Then put in a flour tortilla.....mmmm, infact I think I am getting ready to go make some now!
I like tuna salad. I use the hickory smoked tuna by Starkist, add a bit of mayo and eat it with crackers.
Also deli meats and/or cheeses with crackers and fruit is easy and yummy.
