any ideas on what to make for my lunch tomorrow?
I want to make something fancy…Im working with $40, a toaster oven, stove, and pretty much every cooking gadget i might need….any ideas on what to make for my lunch tomorrow? Im tired of gross cafeteria food….
So far, I only like the first one…and #3, you're not funny.
I prefer not to give recipes. HOWEVER, use your imagination OR buy prepared salad dressings.
Stuffed celery w/ cream cheese – or any cheese for that matter. Simply wrap the cheese around the celery OR if you’re eating cheese wedges, alternate between the two.
Hearts of lettuce with some of your favorite veggies.
Caesar salad (with the dressing on the side, until your ready for lunch)
When you go to the store, experiment with different veggies, greens and lettuces.
Chef’s salad w/ some of your favorite cold cuts or cheeses.
Waldorf salad – with apples, grapes, walnuts, celery and mayonnaise.
When I was a young man, we grew tomatoes. It was nothing to grab a ripe tomato from the vine, chill it for a couple hours, then eat it like an apple with salt and black pepper. You could do the same with vine-ripened, store-bought tomatoes; tomatoes from a produce stand or farmer’s market. Depending on the size of the tomato and your appetite, that’s a really easy lunch – or snack, isn’t it?
Cucumber salad.
Stuffed tomato w/ your favorite mixed salad – shrimp, chicken, egg, etc.
Fruit salad – using fresh fruit, canned fruit or a combination.
Shredded Carrot and raisin salad.
Leftover meatloaf [ketchup on the side];
Imitation crab salad
Soup.
Deviled eggs
Leftover fried or baked chicken OR just about any leftovers for that matter.
What's that? No refrigeration? You could use one or two of those freeze and re-use then freeze again ice packs, couldn't you?.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Pancetta and Parmesan Torte
1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 15-ounce package), room temperature
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan
Position the rack on the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Press the crust into a 9-inch-diameter tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges; set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels and drain. Beat the cream, milk, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese and pancetta. Pour the cream mixture into the crust.
Bake the torte until the filling puffs and is golden brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let the torte cool for 15 minutes. Cut the torte into 12 thin wedges and serve.

Buy yourself some pita bread, Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato and miracle whip.
Toast the pita bread in the toaster oven and then put the miracle whip and then put all the other stuff in the pocket. MMMMMgood! It's a very good lunch and very healthy. For desert a cup of mixed fruit. Got to go getting hungry! Bye
