These recipes are focused on simple options to take to work in a brown bag and everything is eaten cold or needs just a quick reheat in the microwave.

Love this! Lunch is one of the harder meals to plan for us, we usually just use leftovers, but with these yummy treats I will be changing that!!! I love that so many of them have avocado in them too…one of my faves!
I noticed that when I finished the post. I am obsessed with avocado.
A really good collection of lunch ideas. It really beats a package of cheese crackers and a Coke!
Oh no. You need a real lunch!
Omg I love the idea of the avocado-stuffed BLT. It looks amaaaaazing! All the recipes really do seem so simple to make. Sometimes I’m rushing out the door so I don’t have time to be creative. But most of them seem like you can make them the night before. Love this!
I have to have everything done the night before or its not happening. I take the 5 minutes extra sleep every time.
These all look so delicious! And it’s perfect timing, just the other day I was thinking that I’m really getting bored with my lunches. 🙂 Thank you!
