What's Your Favorite Portable Lunch Stuff

Ok Everybody; those of you who have to take a lunch to work or other portable meals, what sort of stuff works best that is quick and easy? I work in an art studio and while there is a refridgerator, I am always looking for easy things to toss in my purse and take. Some things I do are:

String cheese and some grapes
Toasted almonds
low carb flat bread with some almond or peanut butter and rolled up
Cubes of other cheeses
GY in a single serving though the fat free is often hard to find in our area.
Smoked tofu sticks from the hippie coop
Fresh snow peas I am growing in a pot on the deck
Tuna in a pouch though I am sick of this
Power Crunch protein bar

I know I should make protein muffins and eggface bites but I guess I am too lazy.

Who else has some easy high protein stuff to take for lunch?

Popeye pies.  I have em for breakfast every morning, but I make them in batches and freeze individually in ziptop baggies, so if I am going to be gone for the day, I toss a few frozen ones in a keep cool baggie and they thaw but do not go salmonellic (is that a word?) 

Course with the zillion degrees its been here, if I just leave them on the car seat, the are like I just got them out of the convection oven.  :} 

Yummy!  Just googled one for a vegetarian recipe.

Lately I've been having cracked-pepper dry salami wrapped around an avocado, english cucumbers, sugar snap peas and some grape tomatoes.

*chuckle*

So, dry salami is good and an ounce of ground beef is not so much?  Funny gurl. 

Here is my recipe, because its not like that other one much.

1 ounce ground beef (*or whatever meat or you could leave it out, I like the chew of the ground beef)
1 egg
1 ounce fresh spinach (I use the pizza cutter to cut it into shreds, soggledy frozen spinach bums me out)
1 ounce of cheese (lately since I was leaning out from vacation pounds, I have been using 0.25 ounces of a goat feta instead of my usual ounce of sharp stanky cheeddah!!)
1/2 T ground flax
SQueeze of lime on top
Shake of Chicago Steak Seasoning

And then I just use my pastry brush to swipe the bottom of the little container with coconut oil (or you could use whatever oil or spray you like).

Onion is good but I just do not use it and I wonder about zuccini going soggy. 

I am definitely a texture freak sort of human.  If/When I do not care about carbs then corn niblets go in there too.  That's how mama made it, corn nibbles, green beans, spinach, cheese, ground beef, egg with a squeeze of lime on top. Yumz!

That's me...funny gurl :)

I'm gonna try your recipe....sounds absolutely yummy!  Plus, I'm a texture girl and we texture gurls have to stick together :)

Yes we do!

You know, you could always put Boca crumbles or Morningstar crumbles in there if you were wanting it to be vegetarian. 

Also, ham/broccoli/swiss, or even smokedturkey/broccoli/swiss is another nice combination of flavors in an eggiedoo muffiny thing!

Hey girl.....don't misunderstand....I'm not a vegetarian.....that's the recipe that came up when I googled.....I'm a dry salami girl.....LOL!

Your post sounds even yummier!

I know about you, dry salami girl!  I was not sure if maybe your love was a veg*n person! 

These sound great--brilliant idea!!

Hey Brandilynn,

So these are baked???
The egg holds it together??

I was thinking about something like this....based on what we call a "Joe's Special" here in San Fran.... Was thinking of doing it in a muffin pan or ramekins....

What does ground flax taste like?

Bubs to you....
