Sure, here are some quick and easy lunch ideas:
1. **Avocado Toast**: Mash up an avocado, spread it on whole grain toast, and top with sliced tomatoes, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. **Greek Salad Wrap**: Fill a whole wheat wrap with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and a drizzle of Greek dressing.
3. **Quinoa Bowl**: Cook quinoa according to package instructions and top with roasted vegetables, chickpeas, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
4. **Caprese Sandwich**: Layer slices of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil leaves on whole grain bread. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a touch of olive oil.
5. **Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocado**: Mix canned tuna with Greek yogurt, diced celery, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve it in halved avocados.
6. **Vegetable Stir-fry**: Stir-fry your favorite veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas with tofu or chicken, and serve over brown rice or noodles.
7. **Mediterranean Plate**: Arrange hummus, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, and whole grain pita bread on a plate for a quick and satisfying meal.
8. **Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps**: Mix hard-boiled eggs with Greek yogurt, mustard, and diced celery. Spoon into lettuce leaves for a low-carb lunch option.
These are just a few ideas to get you started! Feel free to customize them based on your preferences and what ingredients you have on hand.
I usually cook enough dinner to ensure there are leftovers for lunch. But failing that, my go to is german pancake. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron skillet. Mix 4 eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2T sugar, 1t baking powder. Pour it in the skillet. Top with apple or peach slices and cinnamon-sugar if you're feeling fancy. Bake for 22 minutes at 350.
