Lunch ideas for school? ?!
I'm starting beauty school next month and I'll need to bring a lunch everyday seeing as there isn't really anything for me to eat besides pizza and I'll be there from 9AM-5:00PM!.My question is: are there any easy recipes that can be made the night of or that day and that can be microwave or eaten cold!. Thanks in advanceWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Oh, have you ever looked up bento recipes!? I do them for my daughter and she loves them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Things I bring to school:
Note: These are NOT vegan because of all the cheese!.
-Salads: Mushroom and tomato, classic chef salad (minus meat), caesar salad (romaine lettuce, mozzarella cheese, croutons, and caesar dressing), etc!. Basically whatever you have at home works
-Sandwiches: PB and J on different types of bread is quick and yummy!. Bagels with a cream cheese spread!. Get some cold-cut "meat" slices in the health food isles of your grocery store and throw them together for a sub sandwich with lettuce and whatever else you like on subs!. also try Morningstar veggie burgers and Gardenburgers, if you like mushrooms!.
-Soups: Chili-non-carne is delish, look it up on your favorite vegetarian recipe site!. I would give you a link but someone deleted all my bookmarked websites =[ !. Wild rice soup is amazing, I use Archer Farms organic 7 grain rice mix, and it is just perfect!. Invest in a small Thermos and you'll be good to go!.
I wish I could be of more help, but I essentially throw something together at the last minute and call it lunch!. But those above are some of my favorite ideas!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
