NEED MENU IDEAS FOR LUNCHEON-PLEASE PLEASE!
Hi everyone!
I will be attending a luncheon next week and everyone has to bring a dish-any ideas at all for something I could bring that I can eat and won't seem like weird diet food for everyone else at the table? I'm also REALLY looking for ideas for hot lunches at work and also portable lunches for times without a microwave..I'm so sick of crackers and tuna and it seems that's all I can think of.
Any ideas would be soooo appreciated!!
Thanks!!!

Here are things I am very comfortable eating in front of people so that it doesn't seem like I am dieting. LOL.
1. Boca Veggie Burgers (simply heat it up, you could put some low fat cheese on top of poor just a little bit of tomato soup (Yamm);
2. Boiled eggs with shredded cheese (no heating, very convenient in the office setting);
3. Fish, prepare home, heat it up in the office (My personal choise, I live of off it);
Good Luck

Make a meat loaf with green bean casserole for your luncheon. Or seafood salad spread or lobster spread with crackers. You can eat that too. Salisbury steak is good for your lunches. You can get a round pumpernickle bread the size of a small pizza. Cut the top off (save the top) Dig out the middle (save the bread) and fill it up with Spinach dip from Kroger. Then cut the top and middle bread you cut off and took out and chop it up into small peices and decorate it around the big loaf on a big plate to dip with. You can't have the bread but you can also offer crackers with it. Just some ideas.

I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of fresh Turkey Sausage from Pepridge Farms or Jennio. What I do is brown up some onions, peppers, and garlic in a little olive oil. I then remove them from the pan whn they are brown, and put the sausage in. I cook it on both sides till it is almost brown as well, and then add the veggies back in. I cover it for 5 mins and lower the heat. You can then transfer the entire thing to a tupperware container- nuke it at work, and hae a healthy and good dish that you can enjoy with the rest.
P.S.- Don't tell anyone it's turkey till they are done, they will be blown away!
