10points to best answer...

Answer
My lunch is...a sandwich, chips, fruit, and a "treat" (almonds*, cashews*, small candy bar, etcetera)

I normally buy whatever is on sale from the grocery deli...ham, turkey, and/or roast beef to make sandwiches (with a slice of cheese and mayo). Then pick up buns/bread, chips, fruits, things to snack on.


*I buy raw almonds/cashews (in the baking aisle) and then roast them at 350º for 20-25 minutes.

What are some Adult brown bag lunch ideas?

AF Wifey

My husband and I are trying to cut back on spending so I am now packing his lunches. I feel awful, everyday its either left overs or a ham sandwich, I need some good ideas that are not to time consuming to make!

Answer
The possibilities are endless.

There is nothing wrong with left overs and or cold cuts.

What I do is this: On the weekend, I'll get 1/4 lb of assorted cold cuts. For example:

1/4 lb salami
1/4 lb provolone plus 1/4 lb of another cheese
1/4 lb ham
1/4 lb chicken or turkey breast

I also purchase 6 onion rolls in a bag and the tortillas wraps that are 8''.

Other weeks I''ll get whole wheat bread / rye bread or other bread, and sometimes, I'll purchase an Italian or French long baquette.

I always try to so something different week to week on the bread and if certain breads are on sale, I buy them, take them home, wrap them in foil & freeze them.

BTW - a good secret is to alwyas have those small salt & pepper packets you get from fast food places. :-)

Here is a few ideas.

#1 - Tripple decker:
Toast 3 pieces of bread and put his favorite mayo/mustard on it.

One of the layers will have some cold cut & cheese and the second layer will have lettuce & tomato or cuccumber... what ever he likes.

Add a hard boiled egg along with the salt & pepper packets.

1 small bag of chips and 1 or 2 cookies.

#2 Tortilla wrap

Put this favorite mayo/mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, sliced thin onions, and roll it up.

Cut it in half.

In a small container some home made potato or mac salad... you can make this on the weekend so it's ready for the week day lunches.

A brownie or a few cookies.

#3 Italian hogie

Cut an Italian or French baquette in half & toast it.

Place his favorite cold cuts & cheeses, with shreaded lettuce & tomato and if he likes peppers, add a few slices of peppers on top

A pinch of oregano & pepper

Then gently sprinkle some Italian dressing on it and that's it.

If he likes fruit, make him a small fruit salad but use fruits that will not turn brown, such as strawberrys, blue berrys, UNPEELED banana, melon, honeydew, watermelon.... etc..

#4 - Nothing states that you cannot have breakfast for "lunch".

3 scrambled eggs with grilled ham, buttered toast and home fries. The grilled ham & home fries can be prepared on Sunday. Make sure you add the salt & pepper packets as well as ketchup.

Add an apple or some other fresh fruit such as melon.

# 5 - Grilled ham & cheese with a small Glad container of soup

Some cookies or brownies and some fresh fruit.

# 6 -

In a Glad or plastic container. Give him a few pieces of toasted bread or roll with butter. Add to the lunch container some cold cuts, cheese, tomato wedges, pickelts, some olives & 2 hard boiled eggs.

Again, some cookies & fresh fruit.

I can think of more, but I'm tired of typing....

Where can I purchase a Lean Cuisine Designer Lunch Bag?

magsgurlie

Does any one know where I can purchase a Lean Cuisine Designer Lunch Bag? They are all sold out on the Lean Cuisine web site as quantities are limited. Proceeds go to a good cause ($5 is donated to breast cancer research), but they are also very cute. I have already checked ebay and no luck. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer
Check your yellow pages or local phone book, for Weight Watchers Locations, sometimes these establishments will carry this sort of promotional item, because it is for a good cause.

Also, have you checked any of the
breast cancer research sites? They may have a link for the sales of the item you're looking for.

cheers!

What is the best way to market boxed lunches to local businesses?

lunch bags for sale image

tyzekiel

I own a new small restaurant that does gourmet soups, salads and sandwiches. We are trying to increase our "boxed lunch" sales. What is the best way to increase our sales of boxed lunches to local businesses in the area? We are new enough (about 1-2 weeks old) that basically nobody really knows about us yet. How can I get the word out to the right people to increase my sales for large take out orders to the big local companies? Thanks for any help.

Answer
Get to the secretaries (or assistants) if you can with those fliers.

Then make it easy for them to have their lunches. One place I used was good about us faxing our orders over and they'd have it all bagged up with the engineer's names on their order. Then I would go and pick it up. However, it has been about 10 years since I worked corporate and I don't know if it's acceptable at all businesses. I was also an assistant who didn't mind doing such things in the best interest of morale.

Make sure it's as inclusive a lunch as possible as well. My engineers were able to get a sandwich, chips and a pickle for about 8 bucks. The sandwich shop I used would get an order from my group at least once a month (30 engineers) and other groups along the same frequency.

It also helped that the sandwiches had names so it was easy to order. i.e. John will have the New York, Eric will get the Broadway, Matt wants the Empire.

Good luck!

How many bags of chips should I get for about 30 teens? And 2 liters of soda?

Izzy

I'm having a Halloween party next month, and my mom needs me to come up with some kind of budget for the food. The party is going to have 30 teens max, and my dad is catering the pizza and we'll have plenty of candy out, too. Knowing that there's going to be that food already, how many bags of chips should I get, and what kinds? And how about 2 liters of soda? Thanks!!

Answer
This depends on the teens. Girls may be polite and drink the soda like its going out of style while the boys will devour pizzas and chips. For a teenage crowd, and I have experience in this, to be on the conservative side of things, I would go with 3-4 people per pizza (beware the pigs) and 4 people to the larger bags of chips (pick what you like -- if it's left over, you get to eat them). If you are thinking you may go overboard, you could go to a wholesale store and get the variety chip bag boxes of individual bags. That way you will have a lot of variety and the teens will only take what they need and whatever is left is yours for school lunches and munchies. As for soda, I would go with what others suggested and figure on 2-3 per bottle. On this one, limit variety. Get one regular and one diet type of soda. You are not going to please everybody. For instance coke and diet coke. Also, get some water bottles. You can get a case in the market sometimes for $3 on sale.
