I make four or five jar salads on Sunday night. A few other teachers also make them. We trade salads throughout the week.
Meredith Wilkes
I swear by meal prepping every week. In my usual rotation are salads, stir-fries, casseroles or burritos! Up this week: spaghetti squash lasagna bake.
Eva Gorny
I usually eat leftovers, but sometimes it’s a can of soup that I keep in my classroom for emergencies (a.k.a. when I forget my lunch)!
Katelyn K de Boer
Boiled eggs, jerky sticks, assorted cheese slices, crackers, pickles and fruit. I prep this usually the night before or, if I am really on the ball, Sunday night.
Valerie Kossey-Fraser
Best hack for lunch: snack all day!
Rachel Jay
I often go for a snack bento box. I fill it with cucumbers, tomatoes, apple slices, yogurt, a protein bar, and some other odds and ends! Whatever I eat, I refill for the next day.
Kena Speers
Meal prep! I like pre-cut veggie sticks (carrots, celery, red pepper etc.) and pre-cooked chicken breasts (do not overcook!) Makes a nice healthy lunch, and you can pair it with some cheese, crackers and a piece of fruit. The chicken also goes well with salsa and rice, or you can make a quick wrap.
Keltey Quast
As a substitute, I always keep nut-free bars handy as well as packaged Indian ready-to-eat food bags. This morning, I was called to come into teach kindergarten and had 45 minutes to get dressed and drive to the school. When I have time, I usually meal prep proteins and chop up a salad.
Simona Chalifoux
Leftovers for the win. And if I run out of leftovers one day, I have a stash of leftover leftovers in my freezer.
Jennifer Vermillion
A resealable bag of tortilla chips and some salsa.
