Some things change, but the holiness of "lunch time" remains. From pizza Fridays in elementary school to buying your own cafeteria cookies in middle school ~ heck, I still remember the smell of the cleaning spray they would use in my kindergarten's lunch/assembly room. Then it was wandering out of the office to breathe in some fresh air as I journeyed toward that reliable salad spot on the corner in Beverly Hills or finding an NYC stoop to sit on while I ate from my packed Tupperware container. Now another iteration, and with a little more flexibility to my day, but working from home doesn't mean I want to lose the ritualistic nature of a good lunch break. So I've compiled a carousel of recipes to revive any monotonous mid-day meals that you can make (with little effort) at home that will keep your energy levels goin'.
CHICKEN BURRITO W/ COCONUT FLOUR TORTILLA
For this one, just make some extra the night before and store in the fridge so you can easily use the leftovers. Follow along with me here
FRESH VEGGIE & BEAN SALAD
This can absolutely be made ahead of time. And if you want to skip the bread, serve this one over cooked farro. Recipe here
RAW BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD
Make this one ahead of time (including the dressing), store in the fridge and toss when you're ready to enjoy! Recipe here
FRITTATA
I love this option because you can literally throw anything in it and let the oven take care of the rest. Recipe ideas here
MINI TUNA SANDWICH
This tuna recipe is sooo delicious and also filling. Feel free to scoop over salad as well. Recipe here
