Fun Poll : When you are home, what do you typically have for lunch?

I have been on a baked potato kick lately.In the past I would typically have a lean cuisine or heat up leftovers in the microwave.   Our microwave is broken So I have been putting potatoes in the toaster oven, a few at a time that way I have they won't take so long to heat up later in the week when I want one.  Since I am doing weight watchers I have figured out the points for my potato lunch to be 5 points - this includes light sharp cheddar, spray butter, light sour cream, scallion and 1 T of hormel "real" bacon bits.  YUMMY!!  A loaded potato like that and a cold diet pepsi and I am in heaven!!

A big bowl of salad with crackers or a sandwhich with chips and a piece of fruit.  Sometimes I'll buy convenience items like pot pies or cheapy tv dinners.  I'll occasionally eat leftovers if we have allot of one item.  Don't like to eat them all for lunches as I do enjoy the easy leftover supper mid week or so.  I also enjoy cottage cheese with fruit on top and crackers.  Too bad cottage cheese has gotten so pricey.  Hopefully someone will have a good deal on it soon as cottage cheese and applesauce is my favorite and I still have plenty of apples.

Sometimes I get on instant mashed potato and green beans with almonds.  Easy and not too unhealthy.  Lately it's been leftovers.   Just depends on my mood, what is around and what I'm in the mood for.  :)

Kathleen, good idea for a thread!  When I'm at home I usually eat a late breakfast and then have dinner with the kids.  If I opt for lunch, baked potato, soup, salad, sandwich or leftovers.  If I'm out and about I'll drive through.  Nothing too exciting about any of that!

usually a sandwich- with tomato if I have it. chips. sometimes left overs. in the summer- I like to make salads for lunch.

Good question Kathleen !

I'm like you.  Usually grab leftover or a Lean Cuisine.  Your baked potato sounds great, I may have to give that a whirl.  I love loades baked potatoes!

Of course, in the summer when I'm busy outside in garden or canning, I generally forget to eat lunch. Or just munch on something as I'm working.

I don't usually eat lunch but when i do I usually boil me some beef bullion cubes in water then add some elbow noodles to it.Are I will eat lefted overs.

Fun idea Kathleen!

90% of the time, I eat leftovers; otherwise a sandwich/wrap, soup, a salad or occasionally an english muffin pizza. Your baked potato does sound yummy!

For lunch I'll have leftovers if there isn't enough for dh and I to have for another meal, otherwise I'll have a sandwich on wheat bread. I've been on a grilled cheese kick the last couple days. I also love tuna fish, or lunchmeat. To fill me up at lunch I also eat some baby carrots with a little salad dressing. Sometimes I also eat a couple cookies too. Now you know why I have to treadmill in the afternoon when my soap is over!! To drink, I love a cup of hot tea, but in the warmer weather I love water, ice tea, or lemonade.
