These are the girls favourite lunches but they have become favourites with all of the family.

In a frying pan with no oil heat one side of a tortilla, on top place cheese, spring onion, diced peppers (whatever you fancy). Place another tortilla on top and place under the grill. Cut into triangles and serve with a dipping sauce.

Section a english muffin in two, grill the underside, turn and spread a good tomato puree sprinkle a small amount of cheese (and whatever you fancy) return to the grill for a yummy pizza alternative.

Ben has a severe peanut allergy so we are a no nut household but I often crave a seeded batch loaf, farm house cheddar, an apple and walnuts for lunch *sigh*

Julie, I make those (the quesadillas)! With chopped chili and a squeeze of lime, too. Served with a thick Greek yogurt for dipping.

Nothing more to add (so many great ideas already) but wanted to pipe in and say that I, too, hate eggplant. In fact, the entire summer squash family squicks me out- I cannot deal with that spongy, squishy texture! Oh, and my favourite food group is cheese. (It really should be a food group, shouldn't it?)

I make a really yummy curried chicken salad that you could do with veggie chicken. I put celery, walnuts and dried cranberries in it, and mayo, a little mustard and curry powder. Line a pits pocket with lettuce and fill it up.

I love quesadillas too! With avacardo, tomato and some sour cream on the side.

I love quesadillas too but I don't see them translating so well for office food, especially with brown avocado (which I know is fine to eat but still grosses me out). I must resign myself to eating things cold because there is no way I'm getting up even more stupidly early than I already do to cook!

I'm a more difficult person than I thought! I guess for those of you with kiddies I guess it's no big deal, but to me a lot of these ideas sound like a lot of work (though very tasty). I don't mind putting in the work for dinner or breakfast or other home meals, but for some reason I'm a lot more reluctant to do it for work.

I think I might just take some tiny tea sandwiches which are easy and require no cooking, and some sort of snack. I also need to get to Costco and get some of their premade falafels. Falafel fills me up like nothing else. Since I leave the house at 7:00am and don't get back until 7:00 or 8:00pm, it's essential that I have plenty to eat if I'm going to avoid buying food for 14 hours.
