I cannot say it or write it enough, packing lunch the night before is the key for my lunch packing success.
My routine is to make a meal on the weekend and portion it into Pyrex and then stack it with the rest of my lunch items. Since I buy yogurt and applesauce in large containers rather than individual packs, I portion it into the 1-cup Pyrex.
When I come home from work, I empty my lunch bag and re-pack it with another lunch. I’ve previously mentioned the lack of food around my workplace is the reason I do not take any chances on not making the effort to plan ahead. Some people would grow tired of eating the same thing five days in a row, but I’ve grown used to it knowing I can have variety in my dinners.
My entree is a new chili recipe and if I like, I’ll share it later on the blog.

January 13, 2012 at 12:49 pmThat’s the spirit! My mom is the type who makes a little extra at each dinner so it becomes lunch the next day, but I don’t think she calls them leftovers because that name just isn’t fun!
