What are some good Brown Bag lunch ideas for adults?

Question

this is for a 27 year old man, I pack the lunch before I go to bed typically

Answer 1

Huge cold-cut roll-ups.

Answer 2

Club sandwiches. 3 fillings between 4 slices of bread. Cut into fingers or cubes.

Pinwheels.

Lay an assortment of fillings across the bread and roll up.

For the Club Sandwiches and Pinwheels use bread that is sliced length ways.

Rolls. wrap Asparagus spears, Seafood sticks, Shredded chicken, etc in a slice of bread at the diagonal.

Cheddar cheese scones.

2 3/4 cups self-rising flour

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup minced fresh chives

1 cup (packed) coarsely shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese

3/4 cup (or more) chilled whole milk

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Sesame seeds

Preparation Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle large rimmed baking sheet with flour. Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in chives and cheese. Whisk 3/4 cup milk, 1 egg, oil, and mustard in small bowl. Gradually add milk mixture to dry ingredients, tossing until moist clumps form and adding more milk by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead just until dough comes together.

Pat out dough to 1-inch-thick round. Using 2 1/2-inch-diameter cutter, cut out scones. Gather dough scraps and repeat. Transfer to prepared sheet. Whisk remaining egg in small cup; brush over scones. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake scones until golden on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 14 minutes. Cool scones on sheet 5 minutes. Transfer to basket. Serve warm.

Wrap the sammies and scones in clingfilm.

With the scones, they are nice cold, split and spread with butter. I do both faces, and put back together.

You could nuke them if there is a MW handy at work.

Answer 3

I like peanutbutter sandwiches, chips and a sweet treat.

Answer 4

Left overs from the night before.  You're going to cook dinner anyway, so just throw an extra piece of chicken on the grill, or add an extra hand full of pasta to the water - It takes no longer to cook 2 meals than it does 1, and since you've got to clean up after dinner anyway, why bother making more mess by having to prepare a brown bag lunch?

Just get some separated rubbermaid lunch containers, and as you are cleaning up after dinner, put the leftovers together for a lunch.

If you don't want to eat the same thing twice in a row, plan on going out to lunch on Monday, or bringing in a sandwich, then Tuesday's lunch was leftovers from Sunday dinner.

Answer 5

For my husband, I pack

sub style sandwiches, ziplocing the produce in separate bag so sammy doesn't get soggy.

Wraps, spreading chive cream cheese on totilla so keep the tortilla from getting soggy, I also avoid tomatoes on these and use sprouts instead of lettuce.

Classic peanut butter and banana

Home made lunchables.  Tiny bit of good mustard, I use a cup or cookie cutter to cut sandwich meat in to circles, cut square cheeses and ritz.

Tuna Salad with crackers.

Soups, Chili, pastas in thermos

Dinner leftovers.

Snacks - little debbies, chips, grapes, orange (peeled), veggies and ranch, whole pickles, string cheese, cheddar blocks chopped in to sticks
