Ich werde jetzt Mittagessen
In German there s no present continuous tense, so you use the auxiliar werden=will and you need to add jetzt=now to convey the sense of immediacy.
Here is what wikipedia tells you about it:
There is no continuous aspect in standard German; however, certain regional dialects, such as those of the Rhineland, the Ruhr Area, and Westphalia, form a continuous aspect using the verb sein (to be), the preposition am (short for an dem) (at the or on the), and a gerund. For example, ich bin am Lesen, ich bin beim Lesen (literally I am on/at the reading) means I am reading. Known as the rheinische Verlaufsform (roughly Rhenish progressive form), it has become increasingly common in the casual speech of many speakers of standard German, although it is still frowned upon in formal and literary contexts

In the German language, the normal way of forming the future tense is to use the verb 'werden', followed by the second verb at the end of the sentence in the infinitive form.
In this case, it would be something like:
Ich werde Mittagsessen haben (or possibly essen)

Actually the werden future is not very common, esp. in speech. There is of course also the wollen future (Ich will zu Mittag essen). And most common is the use of the present in place of the future (Ich esse zu Mittag). If you ever hear a German person speaking English, they will repeatedly do the last thing in English as well, saying, e.g., Do you eat lunch with us? Meaning Will you have lunch with us? And so on. Certainly the present tense is the most common way of saying the future in spoken German.

Jassy's right . Ich werde .....
Ich werde in der Stadt fahren.
It's also common to use a time word instead/aswell, but note word order:
Ich fahre morgen in der Stadt or ich werde morgen in der Stadt fahren.
