Official What to Cook for Lunch for Work Thread

[af1 1982]

I know a lot of dudes here work a 9-5. I'm getting tired of making sandwiches and leftovers from the night before. I'm looking to make something Sunday night that can last me 4 lunches (I eat out every Friday). Any ideas? I figure we can use this thread to share recipes:

So far I got:

Chicken and Biscuits

Ingredients: A pack of Pillsbury biscuits, a can or two of Campbells Chicken Corn Chowder

Prep: Bake biscuits and heat up the chowder. Pour chowder over biscuits 

Cost: ~$4 bucks

# of meals: 2-3

Cook a small -medium casserole or baked food (lasagna, macaroni) and a meat to go with it and just eat that for a few days.

I take tuna once a week, other than that it's leftovers.

*If you're tired of leftovers, how do you figure you won't get tired of eating your Sunday meal when you have it for lunch 4/5 days of the week?

Buy packs of boneless chicken breasts, they usually come w/ 8. Cook on em on sunday, and just prepare your sides the night before. One day you can eat em with brown rice, one day a salad, the next day maybe a sandwich or some kind of potatoes....

I dread even thinking about cooking. The clean up is a discouraging thing.

One of my coworkers does this.

I just bring leftovers and I pay for food once a week max. 

That Quaker instant outmeal is clutch in the mornings though. I just bring milk in and leave it in the fridge
