Lunch Date

I have Quaker high fiber oatmeal and a yogurt every weekday morning for breakfast. I'm fine with this routine. Rich and I have started eating at home more lately and I'm also fine with this. But lunch during the week has become my Waterloo. Since I'm nursing Ian at lunch every weekday, I'm going across the street to the day care for that hour. Because of his feeding schedule, I generally leave from 12:30 to 1:30. Rich and the others go out to lunch from 12-1. So even if Rich got me something while he was out, it would be very cold by 1:30 when I could eat it. That and I would starve by then.

I've been trying a variety of frozen meals from Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine. One day I had nothing but edamame and crackers for lunch. I'm feeling uninspired by all of it.

So this is where I turn to you all. What do you eat for lunch? Do you pack something each morning? Do you have a cafeteria in your office? Do you go out for burgers etc? I have read horror stories of vending machine meals that make me cringe. I don't want that. I just want something tasty and easy and healthy.

Help!
