LUNCHES YOU COOK | MELISSA'S FAMILY RECIPES

Lunches are yummy. It actually took me a long time to figure out how to feed my family something for lunch besides PB&J and canned peaches. I ended up kind of thinking of our lunch time like a Bistro and I studied what places like “Cafe Zupas” made. I read about Italy and their cold cut paninis. Then I studied Asian countries and what made their home cooking feel like home. I looked up favorite brunches on Mother’s Day. I researched tea time in England. Then I mixed all that with America’s emphasis on whole foods and balanced blood sugar.

I ended up with three lunch categories. 1). Lunches you cook, 2). Sandwiches and 3). Salad’s & Dressings.

Here is the first section’s recipes.

Crustless, Bacon, Mushroom Spinach Quiche
Crispy Baked Egg Rolls
Fried Rice
Scalloped Potatoes w/ Ham
Loaded Baked Potato
Cheesy Baked Potato
Baked Sweet Potato – Single Serve
Skillet Potatoes, Sausage & Sour Kraut (Optional)

I have our entire 5 Week Meal Plan here.

Here is the picture I use for my “Lunches” divider page in case you want one too.

(Each picture will take you to that specific recipe. Save each recipe image. I like to print them and keep them in a three ring binder with plastic sleeves and divider tabs.)

I have also created a KITCHEN BASICS GUIDE for young women. If you are starting to build up your kitchen supplies, don’t waste your money on sets. Just get the best of the basics.
