Bored with Lunch.. Anybody have any ideas?

Question

Ovo-lacto Vegetarian (no Meat from ANY animal but will eat dairy and eggs)

Bored with banana sandwiches, PB&J,
Simple Salads, salsa and chips, PB & Crackers,
yogurt and pudding

I usually have juice boxes and fruit/berries

Looking for something else, any ideas (except JUST EAT MEAT, b/c it makes me sick, thank you very much) appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

PS. can use Microwave and have considered making my own pizza pops

Try this veggie burger: ( I use gardenburgers by Morning Star Farm) Yummy!

Top a slice of whole wheat bread with hummus
Top that with the cooked veggie burger
Add a pineapple ring
Scoop a dollop of pineapple salsa on that
Add a slice of avocado
Top with spinach and another piece of bread

I usually serve with some fruit!

Answer 3

what about a cheese cassedillo?(sp)?, just grab some great cheese, butter the outside of a flour or corn (I prefer corn) tortilla, put it on a frying pan, throw the cheese inside(just like a grilled cheese sandwich). YOu could also add some salsa to spice it up. My kids love these.

whilst my young ones mentioned they have been bored, I asked, "Are you an uneventful guy or woman?" There ought to be some thing you have an interest in to boot typing on the pc. Make a itemizing of desires and objectives so which you always have some thing to paintings on. help a neighbor. Do some thing unpredicted for the kinfolk like the laundry or prepare the subsequent meal. those are skills you would be able to desire to benefit besides in case you ever plan to be self sufficient.

Answer 5

There are alot of dif kinds of vegie meats out there, have you tried any? ( Even besides tofu.) Worthington, Morning Star Farms, and Loma Linda make many dif kinds of fake meat and some of them are really good. You can have vegie burgers, garden burgers, fake steak, fake scallops, fake chicken etc...
I like the vegie burger, vegie chili, vegie scallops and the vegie hot dogs called Big Franks and more. Google the brand names I gave you and maybe you can find them in your area. I can get some of it at almost any store here in Cali, especially Stater Bros, and Mother's Market. Some are frozen and some are canned. Good luck and hope you like it!
