One of my resolutions for the new year is to bring my lunch to work to save money and potentially eat healthier. But...I have a hard time thinking of what to bring!
What are your staples for a packed lunch for you? (We do have microwaves, so that helps!)

Leftovers, Mason Jar salads.....or I cook up a bunch of chicken, veggies, and brown rice and divide that out throughout the week

@ninja: 90% of the time it's leftovers! Or we would grab 2 Rotisserie chicken for dinner and a big box of salad mix from BJ. Chicken salads are our standby when there is no leftovers.

@blackbird: cool...I was having a hard time imagining it being easy to eat out of the jar! I definitely like that idea.

@regberadaisy: I always tell myself I'll bring leftovers, but I need to put them in a smaller container, and I lack that follow through in the mornings! I like the idea of using extra rotisserie chicken.

Leftovers.. I always portion out my lunch right after dinner before I put everything away!

@ninja: we always do it at night when we do dinner clean up. Mornings are definitely way too crazy!

I pack breakfast and lunch, usually breakfast is an egg bake (just eggs, veggies, cheese baked in the oven) or granola/fruit/yogurt and then lunch is leftovers or a sandwich. I also do a tray of sliced veggies to munch on, it's my midmorning snack and I so miss it when I don't have it. I prefer hot lunches, so I keep cans of soup in my office.
I cook on Sunday for the week, my fridge on cook day looks insane with all the portioned containers.
