Fast Lunch Ideas
Cheeky Muffy
If you are a working man, you know how important lunch is. You
can't function without a good lunch. A good lunch is the difference
between feeling great during the afternoon and feeling worn
out. Many times we skip on lunch. We don't either eat the right
things, or don't eat at all. I know several people who don't
eat any lunch at all. Especially women, they think they can
skip this meal and not have to worry about it. I'm the type
of person who can't skip a meal. Maybe one of the reasons is
that I can't turn down a good meal. Though, if I don't eat,
I can feel it. Nothing will make you feel like shit quicker
than skipping a meal. We all know what it feels like. What do
you do? You don't have time to fix a good lunch before you go
to work. Or do you? Of course you do. If you are in a relationship,
you have more than enough time. One thing I would suggest is
that you alternate fixing each others lunch. One day you fix
both of your lunches, while the next day have her fix both of
them. This will give you time to do the other things that you
need to do.You can also fix your lunch before you go to bed
at night. By doing this, you don't have to rush yourself.

Tuna and Bell Pepper Pocket

bowl, combine dressing, black pepper and oregano, pour it over
the tuna mix and stir. Refrigerate for a few hours. When serving,
put 2-3 tomato slices and 2-3 lettuce leaves in each pita bread.
Add tuna mix to pitas. There's enough for 4 servings.
I love this. I don't think there is a better easier lunch item
than this.

peeled, pitted and diced ½ (2-ounce) jar pimentos 2 tbsp.

onions, corn, bell pepper, avocado, pimento, tomatoes, and lemon

This is another great one.
Smoked Chicken Sandwich ½ (8-ounce) loaf sourdough bread
¼ tbsp. vinegar 2 tbsp. chopped parsley 1/8 cup low-fat
mayonnaise or fat-free salad dressing ¼ cup chopped bell
peppers (you can't go wrong with bell peppers) ½ small
onion thinly sliced ½ medium sized tomato sliced 8 (1-ounce)
slices low-fat mozzarella cheese 2 cloves minced garlic 8 (1-ounce)
slices lean chicken 1 tbsp. black pepper Slice the loaf of bread
horizontally. Remove some soft bread from inside each half. Stir
mayonnaise and vinegar together. Add parsley, bell peppers, black
peppers, and garlic to the mix. Let stand for 15 minutes. Layer
the bottom of the loaf with 4 slices of chicken and cheese, then
layer with half of the onions and half of the tomatoes. Spread
half of the mayonnaise concoction and repeat the entire process
from the start with the remaining ingredients. Close the sandwich
with the second bread shell and chill until it's ready to serve.
When serving, cut loaf into 3 wedges (secure loaf with wooden
sticks for a better cut). Makes 3 servings. There you have some
easy lunch ideas. Try these, you are sure to love them. weight
