What was the dinner you made that was such a bust? We tend to take leftovers from dinner for lunch the next day (although I know that not everyone is hip to that). Sometimes I change things up a bit. A roasted chicken from dinner becomes sammiches for lunch. Salmon patties become salmon burgers. A rice dish becomes burritos. That sortofa thing. That said, lately I've been taking time on Sunday afternoons to make salads for lunch. This week it was a simple pasta salad. Two weeks ago, it was a quinoa salad with black beans, sweet pepper, corn, and chopped spinach with a lime-chile vinaigrette. Kept great and we could eat it all week.

Although, I do have a $7 rice maker that I can make anything in perfect - quinoa, brown rice, aborrio (sp?) rice - love it! I usually make things for my lunch that I know my family would never eat - that way I can have my spicy food (and spaghetti squash!) all to myself! :D Great tip on the brown rice trick, I never would have thought to make it like that!

I too love making rice bowls wither tons of veggies thrown in, it's so delicious! Great brown rice tip, I hate making it because it generally takes so long.

Do you just drain it like pasta when you're all done? Your dinner looks so great with the rice and veggies, too! As for lunches...you make such great dinners...how do you feel about leftovers?

It was just a pita pocket filled with marinara sauce, muenster cheese and deli ham. I heated it up in the microwave at work, and it really hit the spot!
