OT - Lunch ideas anyone?

  • Leland Spartan said...

    Eh, I feel like that happens in any office with more than 3-4 people though. No matter what, you're going to smell someone's foul lunch.

    Not really. I work in an office of 30 people or so, it's one lady who always stinks up the kitchen. Everyone else has figured it out... yet she has to bring in smelly food every day.

  • My wife sometimes likes to take cereal for lunch. She brings it in a "Tupperware" type bowl and takes along one of those single serve millks you can buy for a buck. Not my thing, but you wanted ideas.

  • I grill 3-4 lbs of skinless/boneless chicken breasts on the weekend, and freeze them. Take some out and thaw in the fridge each night, so it's ready in the morning. I buy it by the bag from what ever store, and filet them/slice them in half down the middle. Marinade them for a few hours. Zesty Herb from McCormicks is great for sandwiches or salads. Sam the Cooking Guy has a great recipe for 5-spice chicken that goes great with skinless/boneless thighs for sandwiches.

    One day a chicken sandwich - lettuce, tomato, maybe some bacon, either ranch/brown mustard/mayo, or some combination for a topping.

    One day a salad. Can do the same with shrimp for salads

    One day chicken tacos(as someone above mentioned).

    When you grill the stuff over the weekend, and keep the stuff in freezer bags, it's easy and quick to thaw the stuff overnight, and throw together fast in the morning. For salads, I already have the stuff prepped and bagged ahead of time - broccoli, celery, mushrooms, cucumber slices. Use/buy grape or cherry tomatoes.

    You regular, Bro?

    Want regular?

    Take 1 can each of black beans, corn, garbanzos, dice a red pepper and 1/2 a red onion, mix and drain. Add some kind of vinaigrette or italian, and maybe some lemon juice, and stow in 2-3 containers. That's lunch for 2 days and you eject a solid high-speed torpedo - guaranteed.

  • I went to Subway today. Haven't been there in a while. After they introduced flatbread, there is no use for their other breads. SO Chicken Teryaki on flatbread...loveface

  • Sometimes buy a 2# bag of frozen cooked shrimp and split it up into 4-5 equal portions, then put each in a zip-loc bag and put them back in the freezer. Pull a bag out of the freezer on my way to work and let it sit at room temp for a couple hours before lunch to thaw.

    Occasionally make cocktail sauce the night before but usually just take a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of horseradish to work and make it there in a coffee mug.

  • The Tyson frozen grilled chicken breasts are pretty good. Pair that with microwavable rice or different vegetables that you can microwave and you have a pretty good, quick and easy lunch. One other thing that is pretty good are the frozen vegetables that are in the steamer bags. If you are going to go the frozen meal route, the healthy choice steamer meals are pretty good, I really like the Asian inspired General Tso's or orange chicken.

    One time this girl put some type of an artichoke vegan thing (she was an extremely obese vegan btw, lol) in the microwave. That stuff stank the whole office up for hours. [puke]

    Took a tiny Tupperware container of fermented daikon radish to work one day. It's one of the few food preparations I know that smells like complete ass but tastes great.

    Fully knowing how bad it smelled I opened the container and ate the contents in less than a minute before resealing the Tupperware, trying to contain the stench. Didn't work. Stunk up about 4000 square feet of office space.

    My co-workers still had serious ewww faces a couple hours after lunch and told me to never bring it back in the office lol

    The freaking microwaved tuna guy. Thanks for making our entire office smell like unwashed nether regions from a prostitute. pukeface

    I went to a really trashy strip club one time. I left that place smelling like cotton candy, tuna, and shame.

  • Sunday afternoon/evening make this:

    12-18 eggs
    buncha veggies (I like green peppers, onion, tomato, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach...basically whatever)
    some sort of meat (sausage, bacon, etc)

    Mix it all together in a 9x9 pan and bake for 35-45 mins at 350. Done and delicious! It can be multiple servings of breakfast or lunch.

    Those steamers are good, but damned if I don't feel guilty about how much trash one meal generates.
