that ahead of time too. Grill your chicken, chop your ham or
cook your bacon and place it in individual containers as well.
After you have completed all of your prep work, place each
ingredient in separate airtight containers in your refrigerator.
Each night prior to work, grab a large storage container and
simply choose whatever ingredients you want in your salad,
place them in the larger container, give them a quick toss and
you are good to go. Either keep a bottle of your favorite salad
dressing at work in their fridge, if one is available, or pour the
dressing in an individual container to take to work with you. A
nice, healthy, fresh salad is definitely something to make lunch
a time you look forward to.
If you still want to stick to sandwiches everyday for lunch,
there are a few ways to make a simple sandwich more interesting.
The biggest change you can implement to your ordinary
sandwich is to switch up the bread that you use. Instead of
normal, everyday sandwich bread, try using a pita or artisan
bread. A French loaf or tasty Ciabatta bread, which can be
found in most grocery store bakeries, turns a sandwich from
ordinary to extra special. You can always make simple changes
to your condiments as well. Trade out ordinary yellow mustard
for sweet honey mustard. Mayo with a kick of hot sauce gives
your sandwich an extra bit of flare.
Lunchtime doesn’t have to be the same thing day after
day. It is easy to make a few small changes to your lunch
routine that will make your blues go away and will instead give
you a lunchtime to look forward to!
