New Lunch Ideas

I'm always looking for something different to serve at lunchtime. I think we get tired of the same thing: sandwiches, Bagel Bites, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, etc...

So, here are a couple of ideas I've been making lately.

Egg and Cheese Sandwich.

For around $3 I picked up this little contraption at Wal-Mart out of the kitchen appliance aisle, right where the microwave accessories are located. It's called an Egg Muffin Cooker. You scramble an egg, mix in bacon pieces, ham, veggies, and/or whatever else, then "newk" it for a minute. Add a piece of cheese and serve it on toasted bagels, English muffins, biscuit or toast. Quite yummy, and it's something even the kids can make.

Sandwich Wrap.

This isn't a new invention, either, but it's one I rarely think about. I don't know about you all, but when I say we're having sandwiches, I hear a collective groan from my crew. But, I started putting the lunch meat on a tortilla and rolling it up like an enchilada and all the sudden you'd think I had created something better than sliced bread, literally!
