Work Lunch Menu Monday
For the last seven years of working in the corporate world, I’ve made it a habit to take my lunch to work. It started as a way to eat healthier, but let’s be honest—it also saves a ton of money and time. With only a 30-minute lunch break, there’s really no time to leave the office and grab food, so bringing my own just makes sense.
Yesterday, Cherrie and I made a quick stop at Aldi so I could pick up a few things for my work lunches. Of course, I ended up buying more than I technically needed—but that just means I now have plenty of options to choose from. Some of the items I grabbed included Canadian ham, cheddar cheese, pineapple spears, grapes, individual chicken and cranberry salad, shredded lettuce, and two different salad kits. Easy, mix-and-match foods are my favorite for busy workweeks.
Here’s what my lunch menu looks like for the week:
Monday: Stew
Tuesday: Sub sandwich & grapes
Wednesday: Chicken salad & pineapple spears
Thursday: Grilled chicken & loaded baked potato
Friday: Canadian ham, cubed cheddar cheese, black olives, Ritz crackers, and pineapple spears
Most mornings, I open the refrigerator and decide what I’m taking for lunch right then and there. But having a menu planned out ahead of time really takes the guesswork out of it. Now, knowing me, I’ll probably change my mind at least once during the week—and that’s perfectly okay too.
Lately, I’ve been trying to cut back on carbs in my daily meals, and this menu is centered around foods I actually enjoy eating. No fancy recipes, no stress—just simple, satisfying lunches that keep me full and on track during a busy workday.
Sometimes the easiest plans are the ones that work the best.
