Lunches at work - our solution! Cheaper than bought and better than made.

January 9th, 2009 at 02:49 am

I never have time to make my lunch, but I am tired of everything I can buy - and it is expensive.

For the last few weeks we have come up with a new great arrangement in our office.

I have a co-worker who is an excellent cook and loves to do it. Eventually, a toaster oven, a panini grill, a microwave and the latest addition - an electric
skillet have made their way to the tiny kitchenette area.

With very basic utensils and no stove she can make amazing things in 20 minutes.
Here are some pictures of our office-made lunches:


Grilled salmon


Chicken with mango salsa and sweet potato


Crab cakes


Fettuccine alfredo (today's lunch - it was so delicious! oh, and we got real plates now)

We have a gourmet supermarket a block away. We all pitch in for the ingredients and it to anywhere from $3-$7.
A bought lunch is $8-$10 from a deli for a sandwich or salad or takeout.

This is cheaper, healthier, tastier, more varied, freshly made and hot!

    LOVE IT! We have a microwave and refrigerator at work, but so far I am not sick of what I take. I love not spending gobs of money on food. Now if I can just get DH to do the same!
