Easy, tasty lunch ideas?? I need some?
I am 15 years old, and over the summer i am going to want to eat more than peanut butter sandwhiches for lunch everyday. Both my parents work, so i always have to make lunch for myself. Any yummy ideas that are relatively easy to make? Recipes?
Answers:
lol, come have lunch with me! i can cook
How about cold cuts, mac & cheese, wraps, salad, veg. salad, pizza bagels if you are at home your options are endless
grilled cheese um and umm popcorn?? idk i have the same problem
chinese,pizaa,anything frozen,stuff like that
fresh fish nuggets; quesadillas; fruit skewers; calzone; grilled cheese made with great bread and not just velveeta - use monterey jack, provolone, etc...experiment.
Salads are easy, canned stuff (like spagettios), mac+cheese, ramen, cold cuts. All easy. Cereal can even work for lunch. ^_~ Get creative. That's what I do.
Get a pita, some pizza sauce (99 cents a jar!!), and some pre-shredded mozerella cheese. You can also get pepperoni or whatever toppings you like on pizza. Either put the sauce on top of the pita and then add the cheese & toppings, or put it inside. Then stick it in the microwave until you see the cheese melt. And voila! You have a pizza! And it only takes a few minutes and its really delicious.
You could also get some lunch meat (turkey, ham, whatever) and some cheese (swiss, provolone, whatever) and then some lettuce shreds and make a pita sandwich. Open the pita, stuff everything inside, and add mayonaise or mustard or honey mustard or whatever you like! I recommend ranch, it tastes sooo good in a pita sandwich.
Nachos are fun and easy to make, too. Get some tortilla chips and some shredded cheddar, pepper jack, or mexican blend cheese. Put a pile of chips on a plate and sprinkle cheddar all over it. Then you can add salsa if you want and then microwave it 'till the cheese melts. When its done you can add sour cream and lettuce shreds if you like that! Not exactly the healthiest lunch, but its sooo good!
