Making lunch or dinner is not usually the top choice of most fun things to do throughout the day. This especially holds true if you are pressed for time. Not everyone loves to cook. Most people live off of quick and easy store bought microwavable meals. Not very many people will ever take the time out to prepare a nice healthy meal.
Take a serious look at what you feed your family for lunch. We usually buy something that is quick and easy usually a frozen food. Instead we should be taking the time out to learn how to make a quick and easy healthy lunch. Hopefully you will get quite a few ideas from this article. Maybe this will point you in the right direction and you will begin to come up with your own ideas.
One thing that is a misconception is that all healthy, quick and easy lunches have to be cooked. Most of the time if you do happen to come across a healthy lunch recipe that needs to be cooked it can usually be heated in the microwave as well. Once you get into the swing of things and truly understand the concept you should have no problem. In fact after you make a few easy recipes you will probably start looking around online for more quick healthy recipes.
One of the first things to look at is the Lettuce wrap. Lettuce wraps make great healthy and tasty lunch treats. You can make the filling for the wraps beforehand. That way you can heat the filling and then wrap it and it is ready to eat. It is that quick. Kids love these wraps. You will quickly learn that lettuce has many more uses than on the infamous BLT. This reminds me of another quick recipe especially if you buy the microwaveable bacon. It may not be all that healthy but it sure tastes good. You can make taco fillings, or you can always dream up your very own concoction.
Another trick is to use different varieties of bread. If you have kids you can try getting a little creative by hollowing out different types of rolls and filling them with lunch meats pickles different types of cheeses and colorful little goodies. Like pimento cheese. You can also heat them in your toaster oven. If you have a sandwich maker you can warm your sandwiches with that as well. Sandwich presses make nice shapes out of the bread. Other cool breads are croissants you can fill them with ham and cheese or a nice chicken salad. You can also try pitas with tuna and cheese. Try using different cheeses in the same sandwich. Taco pitas work well also. Really the sky is the limit. If you search online you can find hundreds of free recipes that will also help you to come up with your own ideas.
