Hello and happy Monday!
The countdown is on…after today, only two more Mondays to go until summer break!
It’s already the second Monday of the month, so I’m co-hosting the Share Our Lives link up with some of my favorite bloggers.
So far this year we’ve discussed…
- Ways to stay warm in winter in January
- Binge worthy shows in February
- Grocery list frequent buys in March
- Favorite cleaning products in April
This month’s topic is…go to lunches on the go.
Well, my first thought was to share my school lunches. Those lunches aren’t necessarily “on the go,” but my lunch time is brief. ha!
Honestly, this topic isn’t ideal this time of the year because I’m over, with a capital O, packing lunches.
First of all, whenever possible, I try to pack dinner leftovers at least once a week. Soups, casserole, chicken, tacos, etc are all good options.
Sometimes, I pack my own little Lunchable in these containers that I’ve had for a couple of years.
The possibilities are endless 😉
I love a bagged salad, and will usually add chicken to it and get two lunches out of that. Whenever I have a salad, sometimes I pack a couple of turkey sandwiches using Hawaiian rolls. I will also have fruit or chips as well.
One of my “go to” lunches this year has been to use a Caesar bagged salad and chicken to make sandwich wraps. I will leave the salad and pack of chicken in my school fridge and bring a few tortillas to use. I can usually get three wraps over three days out of this combo.
By Friday, I’m usually throwing one of these in my lunch bag along with a Cutie, carrots and Ranch, and a little pudding cup.
I’m still loving the insulated lunch tote I bought a couple of years ago. Just last week, I made a mental note to purchase a new one for next year. This one has held up great, but I’ve spilled a few things, so now there are stains on it. I don’t leave home every morning with out my lunch tote or my tumbler!
Now, if we’re talking about lunches on the go when we’re out and about, well, we grab lunch on the go too often. We’ll get Jimmy John’s (I love a slim 1), Chick-fil-a (I usually get grilled nuggets and BBQ sauce), or Chipolte (I often get the kids quesadilla with black beans and rice)
What are your quick “on the go” lunches?
