He works during the week and has no access to a kitchen. He is an out-doors man. I bought him a cooler to put food in. I never know what to make him for lunch! I dont want to make a huge meal because i dont have the time and energy. I dont want repetition either. Does anyone have any sugestions as to what you think would work?
Thank You!

Now my husband works from home but when he used to go to the office, I used to pack him different things for lunch. The thing he liked most was: a sandwich, a water bottle (or a juice pack), a fruit, and maybe a muffin or a granola bar. If you don't want to repeat sandwiches, you can try different things on it like peanut butter (if he is not allergic), tuna, scrambled eggs, baked chicken or fish fillets. On days he did not take sandwiches to work, I would pack him a pita wrap filled with vegies (tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, green bell pepper) and grated cheese, with ranch sauce (on the side, so it wouldn't make his pita bread soggy until lunch!) Since your hubby has a cooler, you can even pack him a fruit bottom yogurt, my husband loves those! It'll give him one serving on calcium for the day! These ideas aren't hard at all, and if he leaves early in the morning for work, you can always prepare it the night before and put it in the fridge for him to grab and go. These are some of my ideas. Good luck! =)

Pasta salad
Tuna or chicken salad in a tomato
Salad stuffed into a pita
Deli meat & cheese wrapped up in a tortilla (wraps)
Veggies and dip
Meatloaf sandwiches
Boil a chicken. Shred the meat and use for salads & sandwiches. Use the broth for soups.
If you take a few minutes to prepare as much as you can once a week it should lighten your daily load

You can do a few Wrap-Sandwiches and have some fruit with them.
My fav wrap is turkey slices, guacamole, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, and bean sprouts on a toasted spinach tortilla.
Another good one is you can buy grilled chicken already cooked and diced in a bag in the cold cut section and squirt some greek dressing on it in a tortilla with some lettuce and cheese.
Get inspired...check out this restaurant for some Wrap ideas:

With all the varieties of breads, bagels, and wraps, you can make endless varieties of sandwiches. Try egg salad, tuna, chicken salad or fresh chicken off a rotisserie chicken, chicken breast lunch meat, ham, olive loaf, etc. You can also make a hummus and bean sprouts sandwich or a Greek gyro with feta cheese. You can give him some really great sides with the sandwich such as fruit cups, Cheese-Its, chips, pretzels, yogurt, hunks of cheese, olives, pickles, pudding cups, chips, or even a fresh salad with avocado or something else equally unique. Happy lunching!

Hey there, one of my favorite cooks has great under 30 minute meals (preparation & cook time!). Lots of her stuff tastes great cold because a lot of it is pasta. Go to her website, and click on her 30 minute meal link on the left hand side. Have fun exploring!!

You are a very good and generous wife. However, he should be packing his own lunch or at least providing some suggestions.
