    tuna salad sandwiches
    tortilla wraps with cream cheese, thin sliced lunch meats, lettuce

    how about vegies and ranch dip with a good sandwich?

    I make chicken salad from left over fried chicken for lunch. here is my difficult recipe:

    cut up chicken into chunks, mix in mayo, spread on bread or roll!

    See, I am a gourmet also!

    Pita pockets stuffed with tomatoe slices, shredded lettuce and lime chicken or cold bacon/mayo are good too. Fruit salad made of apple chunks, arange slices and grapes cut in half. A little fruit saver and mix in a container of rasberry yogurt and some sunflower seeds.

    You can also put brats and sauteed onions/peppers in a thermos and wrap a few brat buns up. These are soooooo good

    My dh eats Campbells chunky soup every night at work. He works graveyard shift. He only likes a few of the flavors and I do not know how it does not get old, but every week I buy 7 cans and if he doesn't eat them at work he eats them at home. It is not very frugal. I can get them for 1.25 at Walmart but dh is a former vending machine junkie so it really does save us a lot. Sorry Im not much help.
