Packing lunches has been an interesting challenge.  I enjoy figuring out new and creative ways to make a healthy, quick, tasty lunch that doesn’t require refrigeration or heating.

This week I took sandwiches for lunch.  An easy standby, sandwiches can have a lot of variety.

Turkey, Cheese and Hummus Sandwich

• Sandwich bread
• Sliced Smoked Turkey
• Spinach
• Pepper jack cheese
• Hummus

I try to get in as many veggies as possible, but eating a salad at my desk at work just seems messy.  So this week I’ve packed a sliced tomato topped with cottage cheese and edamame:  a delicious side salad.

I also like to take along a piece of fruit as my dessert.  Recently plums and peaches have made an appearance.
