Hey friend!

This one is for my fellow work from home crowd!

If you work from home, you already know the lunch situation is completely different from packing something for the office.

WFH lunches get to play by different rules:

• You can use your toaster, oven, or whole stovetop if you want.
• You can eat salmon (even warm it up!)
• You can soft boil an egg.
• You can throw together whatever's left in the fridge without worrying about transporting it.

That's the theme here! 15 easy lunch ideas that work best when made at home.

But first, tips for easier work from home lunches:

🥚 Keep a couple things prepped ahead of time. Cooked chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, or chopped veggies in the fridge mean lunch can come together without much real cooking. Even just one or two prepped ingredients makes a big difference mid-week.

🌿 Reinvent your dinner leftovers. Add something fresh like herbs and something crunchy like nuts or croutons, and yesterday's dinner becomes a totally different lunch. Have you ever heard of “putting an egg on it”?

📋 Think in templates, rather that individual recipes. Snack plate. Soup and sando. Fridge clean out salad with your favorite dressing. Once you have a few templates you love, you can repeat with small variations all week without feeling too repetitive.

The full post has all 15 ideas plus more detail on each tip. Click over and bookmark the ones that sound good!
