It's been a long time since I packed a lunch. I prefer a hot lunch, not a
cold sandwich. I definitely won't be eating fast food. (Also no salads,
thank you very much.) I'm going to be cooking a lot more, mostly on
weekends, and taking leftovers for lunch. To make things easier I bought
some of these divided plates (had some years ago, no idea what happened to
them). They go from freezer to microwave and should be helpful:

I baked pork chops last night in a home-made "shake & bake" type coating.
(Delicious!) I made rice and steamed some sliced zucchini to go with it.
There's a good start on ideas for leftovers for a hot lunch

So, what else? I have a few ideas, but more ideas never hurt. (Vegetable
sides will vary.)

Meatloaf & mashed potatoes
Lasagna
Baked chicken with noodles
Salisbury steak with rice
Creamed chicken on biscuits or chicken & dumplings
Spaghetti & meatballs or meat sauce
Mac & cheese, most likely with ham or some other protein added
Pot roast with veggies & gravy
Soups, of course

I will definitely shy away from fish and seafood dishes, much as I love them
They tend to stink up the office like microwave popcorn. LOL

I'd appreciate your thoughts for packing a hot lunch consisting of
leftovers. Gotta go shopping! (Good thing I got that new freezer!)

For maybe a year, 20 years ago, I'd bring to work:

Fried potatoes, quartered and sliced
Pre-cooked sausage, sliced (usually bockwurst)
Half a can of canned gravy (carried to work in a lidded jar)

Microwave the Rubbermaid container of solids
and the jar (lid removed) of gravy. Pour gravy
over sausages and potatoes, and it's ready to eat.

(I had one recycled Cara Mia artichokes jar crack
when used this way. Slight melting was noted in the
Rubbermaid container, which was not sold as
"microwave-safe".)

I don't eat fried potatoes, U.S. beef, or canned
gravy anymore, so not one ingrediant in that lunch
is acceptable today.

I used to set up the next day's lunch in a lidded Pyrex dish when I
was dishing up supper. Next morn, popped it into an Igloo cooler with
an ice pack, and nuke it at the office. People would ogle it, like
they'd never seen anything but a fast food hamburger. Gee, it wasn't
that hard, but they didn't plan ahead, I imagine.

Good luck with the new job - or am I deducing incorrectly?

That's a good idea. We have a microwave at work, but not a fridge, so I
usually either take non-perishables (fruit, crackers, etc.) or buy
lunch, but I really need to start taking my lunch every day, so I think
I'll buy a little cooler.

Serene,
I pack my husband's lunch everyday for him. I picked up a number of the
portioned serving dishes w/lids at the local dollar store and make enough
for everyone plue one each night for dinner. Like tonight, I made browned
cube steak in gravy, mashed potatoes, and lima beans. In the three portion
plate, I filled in the slots, allowed it to cool, then popped it in the
fridge. He has an insulated lunch bag (he is a contract medical provider,
some places do and some don't have fridges) and he puts a freezer pack on
the bottom of the bag, and one on top of the platter. Keeps it chilled
nicely until he is ready for lunch (he leaves home around 6 a.m. and gets
lunch around noon). The only time he doesn't carry his lunch is if the
facility he is working at has an inservice and provides lunch with it.
Other than that.....he is the envy of all his co-workers, most of whom are
women who can't or won't cook.

Did you have to be careful in buying the containers so the platter won't
leak? I'll have to start looking around. I'm tempted to buy this cute
set and put it into an insulated bag:

I'm going to work at H&R Block during the tax season. And yes, at my last

Jill, I like your new divided plates. The ones I found were Nordicware
and Anchor Hocking, I bought them at an outlet store and I liked both of
them. They made a tight seal and they made it through the dishwasher
just fine.


I froze any foods that were left over. I would take lasagna, beef tips
& rice, Swedish meatballs, pot roast, beans & rice with andouille
sausage, gumbo, chicken & rice, king ranch chicken.


It sounds like you are going to be a working gal again. Good for you!
It is nice to stay busy, it keeps you (okay, me) out of trouble.

I'm not a fan of the round dishes. The best ones I got were rectangular and
the 'handles' snapped into the lid.
Also, if you put it in the carrier and it is a tight fit (the container and
the bag are both similar in shape), it's less likely to shift and leak.

Cool, thanks. I ended up ordering the one I gave the link to before,
which will fit in my insulated lunchbox (forgot I had one), but I also
got this for my take-to-work breakfasts, because it has an ice thingy
built in, so I can just stick it in a bag:

I'm looking forward to having cereal and soymilk at work without a fridge.

HAHAHA yeah for real.

As to the subject, I'm so glad my husband takes the leftovers from
dinner to work with him the next day. He gets a nice hot lunch, and I
don't get stuck with the dreaded leftovers dinner!

I packed lunches for years without thinking about what, except
that it was left over from the previous night's dinner.

Thing like chili, spaghetti, stew, lasagna, any kind of casserole
or soup worked very well.

Even now that we're retired, most night's meals are great lunches
microwaved the next day.

Funny, my parents never considered a sandwich a meal, and I love
sandwiches. Guess I had a deprived childhood.

I do that quite a bit. It's easiest with amorphous dishes, where I just
increase the quantity and pack part in a lunch container immediately.

Examples:

Beef stew
Ground beef/vegetable/rice casserole
Chicken and vegetables with noodles
Spaghetti and meat sauce
Chili and rice or chili mac
Jambalaya
Beef and vegetable soup

When I worked I seldom took lunches, and then it was usually what you
say you're going to avoid--sandwiches or salads. I don't think what
you're planning is wrong but I do think that a steady diet of
leftovers will get old. On the occasions when it does, think picnic
food for a change. Lots of things are good cold or at room temp.
Chicken--fried, roasted, or Chinese red-cooked--avocado halves filled
with shrimp or crab, potato or pasta salad, etc. ad infinitum. Here's
a link to a NY Times/Mark Bittman article from 2008 with 100 picnic
ideas:

Well as stated a couple or 5 yrs ago here by somebody...wander done the frozen entre aisle...and
make whatever strikes your fancy from scratch for lunch at work. I like the noodles with a sauce,
veggies and meat approach..say some italian sausage with peppers and assorted other veggies in a
nice red sauce over those twisty noodles. Chicken chunks with assorted veggies with a mushroom
or dill sauce over rice works too. But mostly I make large pots of soup or stew; pre-package them
in lunch sized bowls and eat with say a nice heel of rye bread for dunking. Using storage space in a
chest freezer gives you many choices for which soup or stew after you've frozen a half dozen
various types. Beef stroganoff, irish stew, clam chowder, beef barley with veggies, cabbage and
sausage soup, pot pies, stir fries, chicken and dumplings; that sort of stuff.

More or less look for 1 pot meal ideas as they require less hassel carrying them around and when
re-heating them.

See, I forgot about things like swedish meatballs (which I love!) and beef
tips & rice. I do make red beans & rice with andouille from time to time.
I just couldn't think of much when I tried to think of things. Thanks!

Where did I EVER state I'd be preparing peoples' taxes?! There are *other*

I wasn't going to post what I was told your job consisted of. And in
fact those who gather information directly from the clients don't
prepare taxes at tax centers either... only a CPA can sign off on the
actual prep and submission at H & R Block etal. Actually their clerks
use Turbotax for gathering info, the office CPA peruses the forms and
submits them. Most folks can easily prepare their own with
Turbotax... anyone who can read can... no more complicated than
installing a piece of software, or making an on-line purchase, just
follow the prompts. There's good reason to buy ones own Turbotax,
it'll cost a lot less than going to a preparer, and a preparer
won't/can't enter any deduction that you can't present a receipt
for... when you do your own you can inflate many deductions,
especially charitables... truth be known few folks are as charitible
as they claim, most give nothing... but when one prepares thier own
tax they can say they gave 10% of their net to church and IRS will
allow it, even though they gave nothing, just don't get greedy.

Btw, I happen to know a lot about how IRS operates, my ex was an IRS
Auditor. Back then there was no Turbotax, I was lousy at taxes, she
did ours... needless to say that's the only time she gave me a really
good screwing. That's my 2010 advice, anyone contemplating marriage
NEVER marry an accountant.

That may have been true a few years ago. It's not true now. When I had my
parent's 2007 taxes done they did use Turbotax (they had a couple of other
tax programs available, too.) But now they've got a proprietary program
written specifically for them. It doesn't matter because I'm not going to
be preparing taxes. I wouldn't want to. But hey, Rob obviously can't
understand the word "job". I sincerely doubt he even bothered to graduate
from high school. He's a loser.

One thing I do is make casseroles and freeze them in a pan for mini-
loaves. Then I wrap each one in a sheet of wax paper. I get a box of
1000 squares at a local store. In the morning, I can grab a mini-loaf
of whatever I want and heat it at lunch time. It travels well, and
doesn't take up much space in the freezer, and gives me a lot of
variety.

There usually aren't any CPAs in an H&R office. CPAs generally have their
own offices they run all year. There are Enrolled Agents in H&R offices but
not all preparers are Enrolled Agents. They don't have to "sign off" on any
tax return. The tax return is prepared by the preparer and signed by them.
H&R doesn't use Turbo Tax and never has. The computer program is their own
proprietary program.

Sounds to me like Jill is going to be a receptionist. Without good receps
it's impossible to run the office. And it's not any easy job by any stretch
of the imagination.
