my husband is tired of the same thing for lunches ....i have tried different kinds of sandwhiches and salads?

Mix it up a little............ He's a guy. Invite him home for lunch once a week and wear something revealing. It might just be his new favorite lunch. Life is short........... live it!

In time sandwiches is just sandwiches. Doesn't matter what you make them with.

Use a crock pot and make stews, chili, Chicken and Dumplings. These kind of dishes are like a complete meal in one dish. A few minutes on the web and you will find a ton of Hearty crock pot meals to prepare. Put them on before bed and they're done when you and he wake up. And, you get to sleep with that wonderful in the house.

Add a variety of fruit to his lunches. Something different each day of the week. Apples have many varieties with different flavors and textures. Try fruits you've never tried before. You will be suprised how great some of that weird looking and sounding fruits can be.

The leftovers from the meals you make him for lunch can be frozen and reheated the next week. When you put the leftovers in the container spray with a light coat of Pam first. This will allow the frozen food to come right out. Put the frozen block in the crock pot before bed and it's done in the morn.

i have a recipe, but it'll only work if he likes eggplant, though i suppose the eggplant could be substitued for zucchini or squash if he's into that stuff.

ask him for suggestions as to what he might like to have for lunch. he might have something quick and simple that he really is having a craving for. and don't be afraid to make lunch a heavy meal and then dinner a lighter meal instead of the other way around.

Does he have access to a microwave? My wife always makes extra dinner and we box it up for our leftovers...always different, always yummy. I don't think I've ever had a sandwich for lunch.

you could make quiches, they are good cold too. Or on the sandwiches put bruschetta mix with meat and salad.
