Frittata. Sausage.
1/2 pounds Italian sausage
2 cups minced onions, I just chop mine
2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, cooked and sliced about 1/8 inch thin
2 green peppers, sliced thin
2 red peppers, sliced thin
1/4 cup shredded Fontina cheese
12 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat broiler
Cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat until brown, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside. Cool and cut into bite size slices. Pour off any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in skillet. Add peppers and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the onions and sauté about 3 minutes with the peppers. Add the potatoes and continue to sauté them until lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
In bowl, beat eggs and season with salt & pepper. Put sausage back into skillet and pour eggs over mixture and stir gently to combine.
Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes.
Remove cover, sprinkle with the shredded cheese, place skillet in broiler to lightly brown, 2 minutes or so, depending on your liking. Cut Frittata into wedges and serve.
This can be served cold or hot but I like it better hot. Also, if you don't want the sausage in it you can leave it out.

I eat a wrap almost every day for lunch..quick, delicious and nutritious
Whole grain tortilla...the bigger the better haha.
These are a few of my faves...
Hummus
Roasted red peppers
green peppers
onion
spinach
greek salad in a wrap
olives
pickles
green peppers
onions
tomatoes
spinach
sundried tomatoes
fill them with anything and roll it up =) idk if this is in the vegetarian/vegan section..but these are my fave vegan options
add turkey, ham, cheese, if you're an omnivore =)
i always have a wrap with a huge salad...i just put olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper on any greens...add nuts, apple or pear slices for little treasures in your salad
Soup and salad. A sandwich on wheat bread with fruit. Supplement a so-so lunch with healthy addons, like carrot and celery sticks, fresh fruit and water or 100% juice over soda.
A couple cup of coffee and a few ciggies always works for me when I'm sick of everything else
