Favourite lunches? Jul 30, 2015 20:07:26 GMT -5 via mobile

Post by peach on Jul 30, 2015 20:07:26 GMT -5

We have house guests coming soon - I usually make breakfast and dinner for everyone and just encourage everyone to help themselves at lunch time, due to my schedule. I like to have some things made up and handy in the fridge - usually I make a pot of soup for easy lunches but it's too hot out for soup to be appealing.

I will have sandwich supplies, salad fixings, etc. but would like to make Somwthing up that they can just grab and microwave if they want.

Any ideas?

Stock fridge with:
Buffalo chicken dip
Spinach dip
Seven layer dip

Buy a bunch of bags of tortilla chips

It will all be gone by the end of the week.

Also keep a bowl of fresh fruit cut up in the fridge for an easy snack.

Oh, that one is me too. Not really the same thing.

Screw Fall, eat that any time of year, I say.

Pasta salad is a good choice for a group, if you know they can eat it. I do one with pesto, orzo, grilled cheese, and goat cheese.

Or a vegetarian one with fresh corn, tomato, avocado, cilantro/basil, green onion, garlic, lime juice, and black beans (add the avocado on top right before serving if you make a big batch).

Besides sandwiches, I think cut up fresh fruit would be good with fixings for salads (a protein, cheese, croutons, dressing, etc)

You mentioned being able to microwave something quickly--maybe a big batch of homemade mac and cheese that they can parse out?
