Cooking for the Lunch Box Types

Wanted to try to make thread devoted to us old school folks who still pack a lunch box, can’t really cook and don’t have time to make anything nice to lug to work. If you’re like me you eat several meals at work and those staples can get real old.

The idea is recipies that can be premade, frozen and then eaten throughout the week. Honestly we can go any direction just wanted to give others ideas for new food to take to work. Food porn is always welcome.

If you haven’t seen this before there is a thread in the Tcell about alpha cooking:

This is cool but for the most part these folks can actually cook, props to SteelyD he’s the Gordon Ramsey of T-Nation but my skills are lost after burning some chicken.

Some great suggestions guys. Going to try all of them, I really need something new to eat.

Here is one I haven’t done for sometime but think I will.

Season thawed chicken breast with salt and pepper
Bake chicken breast @ 350 for about 35-45 min
drizzle with honey about half way through the baking process
toward the end add a cooked strip of bacon and cover with cheese until melted.

Package and freeze.

Add to that each day :
